When I decided to stay home 4+ years ago we definitely made adjustments. I am quite sure I would not want my life any different these days. I have learned so much over these last four years. Every day I continue to learn new ways to "trim the fat".
The main piece I picked up from this family in the piece was from her blog. She uses meal planning which I have already been using but she bases her plan off of a theme for the week or I should say days of the week. Here is what I came up with for Green Acres along with our menu for this week. I am off to make a list and hit Costco and Trader Joes.
