What's The Plan Stan? - Menu Plan Monday Jan. 6 - Jan. 12

Readying my home and troops to get back-to-homeschool business, has been a more formidable task than usual.  Winter doldrums can really work me over.  NOT THIS YEAR!  I have a plan & we are sticking with it.

I have been doing lots of reading, this is no shocker, surrounding the areas of greatest need or challenge in our home, family, homeschool, etc.  I am confidently equipped for consistency this year!  I hope that you are all enjoying the blessing of refreshed and renewed vision.

This week's planning begins with our weekly menu.  You will see many changes coming soon, as we begin to become "food detectives" in our upcoming review of the Be Free Challenge.  Right now we are completing the emptying of the stockpile, to prepare our pantry for this new style of eating.

Until then, we are focusing on consistent healthy eating, predominately gluten free and working on the rest . . .

Well another year has zoomed by, and I find myself reflecting on my year, as I am sure are most of you.  I have grown this year, have some regrets, but am wholehearted and hopefully looking forward to all that the LORD has in store for 2013.
