Friday is back, and I am excited to share some of my favorite things from the past couple of weeks!
We celebrated 25 weeks with Baby Brother on Sunday! I feel like the first 25 weeks have gone incredibly fast, and I know the weeks leading up to Christmas will fly by as well. Once we hit January, I start appointments every 2 weeks!! I am trying to cherish these precious weeks of carrying Baby Brother, while making the most of our last couple of months as a family of 3!
This is one of my new favorite websites! Please let me introduce you to plantoeat.com! Whether you like to meal plan or not, this website makes if fun and easy. It has 3 main tools to use: recipes, planner, and shopping list. The recipe portion is amazing! You simply download the Plan to Eat recipe button on your dashboard, and you can import any online recipe (most of mine are hanging out on a pinterest board) in seconds into your recipe bank! It is so simple and amazingly fast to use! I created a bank of 10 different recipes within minutes.
After you have your recipes imported, you can use the menu planner to drag and drop your desired recipes for the week or month.
Finally, there is this wonderful section called shopping list, and it creates a shopping list for you based on the ingredients needed to complete your meals for the week! And the list is organized by produce/dairy/grains/etc. Amazing!!! I had to make a few quick edits for staple ingredients I didn't need to buy, but it is super simple to add or delete items from your list. I like to print my list because I am old school that way and prefer the good old paper/pen method, but you can also access your list on your phone.
The website is having an after Thanksgivings sale, and you can get a membership for 50% off making it just $19.99 for the whole year. The sale runs from November 27th-30th. Also, they offer a 30-day free trial so you can try out the website before buying!
I know I am probably late on the bandwagon for this one, but I am loving Jen Hatmaker's new book For the Love. I love the subtitle: Fighting for Grace in a World of Impossible Standards. She provides practical and hilarious wisdom about parenting, marriage, friendship, community, church, school, Pinterest, Netflix, and so much more! I highly recommend this book being added to your Christmas list :)

I know it is early, but we are decorating for Christmas this weekend and I am overly excited! I have been listening to Chris Tomlin's new album Adore to help prepare. Spotify has it available, so you can listen to it for free :)

I love that Plan to Eat lets you import recipes! That's game changing.
ReplyDeleteYes, love that you can import recipes! So easy :)
DeleteI cannot believe you are already into week 25! Only 15 weeks left. It's so hard to believe you will soon be parents to two littles! :) We are so excited for you three as you welcome Baby Brother.
ReplyDeleteI also loved Jen Hatmaker's latest book. I saw her speak at a meeting earlier this year. She is hilarious! I recommend her "Interrupted" book too. It was released last year.
Have loads of fun decorating for Christmas! We are also planning to decorate this weekend. We now have bushes, a tree, and a two car garage--so Bill is going to attempt to hang lights on them. It should be interesting! Also, Spotify gives you a free trial on your cell phone. So if you want a free trial for 30 days to play your music uninterrupted (and in the order you desire) in your car, on a walk, etc. from the Spotify cell phone app, I highly recommend taking advantage of it.
Happy weekend! :)
We are so very excited to welcome Baby Brother! Thank you for always being so excited and supportive :)
