Menu Plan - Week of July 8, 2012

I'll be updating my July goals later today. Things are progressing very well. Part of my goals is to get back to menu planning. It will help prepare me for the fall when we'll be in school, the boys will be in preschool and I'm starting school again in August. Plus menu planning saves us money!!! And keeps me more stress free! Anyway, we've already eaten through Sunday and Monday. Was very yummy!

Sunday
Turkey burger sliders (setup in freezer already)
Asian cole slaw (DH makes this and I need to get the recipe from him! I'm addicted!)
Grilled zucchini (from garden) with garlic and onions

Monday
Personal pizzas (I will admit I had the Boboli brand mini pizza crusts)
Salad - I actually had salad on my pizza. I put an arugula salad on top of my pizza after I cooked it.

Tuesday - after orthodontist appt (we'll be home by 5PM)
Rotini pasta with pesto (made from the garden's basil), mozzarella cheese cubes and halved cherry tomatoes

Wednesday - crockpot night as we'll be getting back from ice skating practice a little after 6PM
Asian tomato beef with brocolli
Sushi rice
Cucumbers (from a friends garden) in shoyu (fermented soy sauce)

Thursday - need to have dinner at 5PM, so we can leave for ice skating by 5:30
Hot dogs
French fries
Asian cole slaw (made on Sunday)

Friday - DH back from Colorado work trip he's been there all week!
Barbeque chicken
Roasted veggie quinoa salad

Saturday
Who knows! DH will be back and we have date night. Maybe just leftovers before the sitter comes over.

Stopping the Voices in my Head - aka Mastering my Mindset

The more I work on my personal development, the more I realize I need to stop listening to and changing the negative things I tell myself in my head. I'm also noticing the older I get the more the negative things I hold as beliefs about myself are not true. This reinforces that I should second guess the other negative beliefs I hold inside ... maybe those are not true either. Here are a few things I've realized are not true: I need help to put air in my car tires - This was one of the first things I learned as my husband had to move to Colorado for work. I did this at the Wawa up the street where the machine will stop and beep when your tires are at the right pressure. I also learned and committed to memory that the pressure you want your tires at is inside your gas cap, something I have to open at least once a week. This was something that was super easy to learn to do and had me zipping along the roads in a few minutes without the anxiety...

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...
