It’s time to share my monthly meal plan. But first… Happy New Year! Have you written your goals for the year? I haven’t gotten very detailed with my goals this year like I usually do. I think it’s because instead of lots of separate goals, this year I have one goal. I’m determined to do…
Simplifying Thanksgiving: Free Planner/Cookbook
