I would be a big fibber if I said I accomplished everything on my weekly to-do list last week, but I am proud to say that I stuck with my weekly menu to the very letter (no desperation-mode runs to Little Caesar’s!) and I managed to wrap up two sewing projects that had been ongoing for far too long than I care to admit. So that is something! I really did find it motivating to have my list to refer back to, so I think I’m going to continue doing this on a weekly basis.
Here’s my plan for this week…
Menu
Monday – Chicken Tarragon with Polenta and Wine-Braised Green Beans
Tuesday -Tuna Cakes (don’t knock ’em till you try ’em 😉 with Caprese Salad
Wednesday – Fish Picatta with Spaghetti
Thursday – Ginger Peach Gumbo (a recipe from https://RealFoodLittleRock.blogspot.com, a site I recently discovered that is a terrific wealth of information pertaining to local foods and growers!)
Friday – Baked Caramelized Onion Mac & Cheese with Salad
Saturday – Green Chile Cheeseburgers with Sweet Potato Fries
Sunday – Ham, Egg and Hashbrown Bake; Sandwiches and Cantaloupe
Goals
- Clean out kids’ clothes (this is one thing that didn’t happen last week that really must this week)
- Finish kids’ bathroom decor
- Take inventory of my fall decorations
- Finish two projects for the blog that I currently have in progress

I didn’t keep a todo list when I was a Stay at Home Mom, but since I have gone to work I find I have to. If I don’t I won’t get anything done at home. Plus it feels really good to cross off things I have completed.
I do need to start a weekly meal list though. We eat our way too often just because we don’t have a plan. Maybe I will start one soon.
I usually make a weekly menu plan, but after seeing your post last week I have started adding a project list as well. It’s nice to have a plan.
Tuna cakes are amazing! Love ’em!
Good luck with the to-do list!
I would love to see your mac and cheese recipe!
I also have a weekly menu. It saves tons of money on groceries, we are not wasting nearly as much.
