The official countdown begins

It's the week before christmas where I realize I have forgotten gifts for 10 people and I scramble from store to store. It's also the week where my Dad calls and says " I have some money for you". That's his code for "I need to get your Mom a gift but I'm not stepping foot in a store". UGH. I am not a talented gift giver. I struggle to pick out the right thing for each person so this added stress of buying gifts from someone else just stinks.
And to top it all off, I haven't even sent my cards out yet! I made the card first(bad mistake) and then looked for an envelope. Not so smart on my part LOL. I do this every other year at least. You'd think I'd have learned by now!

Today is Menu Plan Monday over at orgjunkie . And I'm super proud to say that I am on top of this! I actually have about 16 meals planned from what I have going on in the pantry/freezer right now. Of course there are a few things I'll need to replace between the meals(eggs, milk, potatos etc) but the bulk of all the meals, I already have on hand! be sure to check all the awesome meal plans/ideas at Laura's site!
