Happy New Week!
I’m excited about this week’s plans. I’m especially looking forward to trying my first slow cooker pot roast and creating a simple fairy garden for the backyard. I never would have considered a fairy garden before, but after seeing so many ideas on Pinterest I had to try one. The young woman in the video tutorial makes it look very easy, so I’m confident I can put together something charming without too much fuss.
I hope your week goes well! Look for our Memorial Day post this week — I would love to include the names of your military loved ones. Whether they are active duty, veterans, retired, or were lost in service, my family and I are deeply grateful for their sacrifice and service.
Menu Plan for the Week
- Monday – Leftovers from Sunday’s BBQ. I also baked several chicken breasts while my husband worked the grill, so I’m set for Whole30-friendly lunches all week.
- Tuesday – Tacos, salad, and watermelon.
- Wednesday – Slow cooker pot roast with potatoes and Indian-style stewed okra (it’s better than it sounds).
- Thursday – Pasta with a hearty ground turkey “Sunday gravy” and a side salad.
- Friday – DIY night. Mom needs a break, so it’s family movie night — we’ll probably pick up a frozen pizza from the store.
- Saturday – Dinner out at our favorite local Indian restaurant. Yum.
- Sunday – Family BBQ. Menu TBD based on what’s on sale at the market, but I plan to serve vegetarian baked beans and cherry pepper slaw.
Cleaning List for the Week
Monday – Deep clean the kitchen. Choose one major appliance or area to focus on.
Tuesday – Bathrooms. Give tubs, showers, sinks, and mirrors a thorough scrub.
Wednesday – Dusting, mirrors, and windows.
Thursday – Room of the week: master bathroom. Wash and dry blinds and/or curtains.
Friday – Declutter one small area for 5–10 minutes or catch up on anything missed during the week. Keep it simple — Friday is for family and fun!
Saturday – Linens and extra laundry. Fresh sheets and towels are such a treat.
Sunday – Free day and family day. If it’s sunny we’ll take a long family walk and celebrate any family birthdays.
Don’t forget our cleaning daily list with a free printable to help keep routines consistent.
