We were in PA visiting my grandparents all weekend so I wasn't able to go grocery shopping on Friday or Saturday like I normally would and then tomorrow Nathan's parents are coming up after lunch to celebrate Liam's birthday since they couldn't be here on his actual birthday so...grocery shopping is having to wait until Tuesday! But here is my menu plan for the week and I'll post how my grocery shopping trip went and how my budget went once I go shopping Tuesday.

Snacks:
Our

Air-popped
popcorn, granola, granola bars, banana bread, veggies & ranch, yogurt &
fruit, smoothies, peanuts, raisins.
*Last week I never got around to making the granola, granola bars, or banana bread so really hoping to get those done this week. Also the homemade chocolate syrup is amazing. It's not "on plan" with THM since it has so much honey in it, but my kids love it and I'm not going to lie...I've enjoyed a glass here and there with some whole milk and it's basically like a dessert :) Not something I would want to indulge in every day but ok for a treat every once in a while.
And that's it for this week. Please let me know if you want a recipe for a certain meal.
And just because I hate to write a post without adding a pretty picture...
here is one of my sweet girl with her favorite stuffed animal.
