Time to share our plan for this week 6/17 – 6/22/13. How has your weekly planning going? Are you accomplishing all you hope? Well we hope this planner will help you to zone in on all areas of life and accomplish a lot each week with less time. Be sure to see our Be Intentional Baby Steps for Whole Life Change.
This week is CRAZY and my “honey do” list is growing quite large. I don’t know what it is about summer, but it really makes you get the bug to get so many projects done. I know that Alex is going to look at this list and most likely re-assign tasks for following weeks, but I got it on a list this week, even if it moves to next week’s list, etc.!
As always, before I share our weekly plan and our menu, you can read about each of these on these links as we encourage you to do the same to save time, money and sanity:

Here’s our planned dinner menu for the week! We made a big roast and chicken as we had a big family join us for dinner yesterday, so we have a little bit of leftover roast and chicken – perfect for left over one-dish dinners this week!

Monday – Chicken Marsala with brown rice and roasted garlic cauliflower
Tuesday – Homemade Crockpot Taco Soup
Wednesday – Stir-fry with brown rice and fresh fruit
Thursday – Mom and Dad date night and kids have spaghetti with Aunt and Uncle
Friday – Homemade Pizza on Flax Flat out bread
Saturday – Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup with leftover frozen chicken from last rotisserie chicken
Sunday – Roast, potatoes, carrots, celery and onions (yes, this is a common Sunday meal :))
And… no matter whether you make a menu or not, don’t forget about “dinner by 10.”
If you would like to print your own THRIFTY weekly planner, you can do so below. Alex designed it to where it requires very little ink and in fact you can print it in fast draft/grayscale to use even less ink. But either one uses miniscule amount of ink! I would recommend printing or copy several as I often write plans a couple of weeks ahead too!
