Intentions for the Week

Looking to get your head in the game? Tracy from Shutterbean makes a weekly TO DO LIST called her Intentions for the Week. Here's what this week looks like:

HAPPY MONDAY!!!!

Cooper has the next few days off of school so our week is gonna be a little wonky! I’m hoping to get a bunch of work done at night so we can play! This weekend was filled with some baseball games (already!) and an adventure up to Sebastapool with my friend Emma.  My house is kind of a mess. I have a bunch of ingredients in the fridge to do something with so I know that a little #shutterbeanmealprep is in my future too.  This was the first weekend in a while that I didn’t meal prep and things feel weird! That must mean I got myself in a good routine/rhythm. Time to get back on track!

If you’re ever feeling stuck and don’t know where to start, write down your Intentions for the Week!

Intentions for the Week:

Looking to get your head in the game? Tracy from Shutterbean makes a weekly TO DO LIST called her Intentions for the Week. Here's what this week looks like:

Happy Monday, friends!

Another week ahead of us. It’s Valentine’s Day this week. That means you can eat all the chocolate you want, right?  I have a batch of brownies on our counter for my boys. Mama knows the way to their hearts.  I finally cleaned out my car yesterday after I did meal prep and I’m so HAPPY.  Now I just need to wait for it to stop raining to clean the outside but there’s so much pollen around here right now, what’s the point?

Speaking of meal prep…

I think we might have some baked spaghetti and Thai basil beef in our week too.

If you’re feeling lost and don’t know where to start, make yourself your own Intentions for the Week list!  Here are mine:

Favorite Pasta Recipes

Favorite Pasta Recipes from Shutterbean.com!

I’m currently brainstorming new recipes. Anything you’re looking for that I can help you with?

Right now I wanna make a pasta dish with a ton of vegetables.  One that I can give my family but when I serve myself a portion, it’s light on the pasta and dense in the vegetable department.  Leftovers that reheat well are a huge plus! If you’ve got one that you’re loving right now, shoot it over my way. I’m all ears.

I figured it’s best to look back and see what I’ve done/LOVED so I may have a template for another game changer.  Here are some of my Favorite Pasta recipes!
