Happy New Year friends!  How was your holiday? We had an awesome Christmas and a fun New Year’s Eve!

  1. OMG! Your meal plan is awesome! I can’t believe you plan a whole month! I struggle just coming up with a week at a time for my family (I have picky kids… and they don’t like cheese!!!). I think I would love every meal on your list and wish they all came with recipes! Thanks so much for posting it. 🙂
