Updated: Woohoo, yippee yay! You girls are the best, we are now sitting at OVER 300 participants! Congratulations to #259, Jennifer who won my spontaneous giveaway! Thank you again to all of you that participate each week as well as to those of you who are new.
WOW, today we almost set a record with Menu Plan Monday! As far as I know we haven’t gone past 300 participants yet. Tonight it stands at 296! Woohoo, that’s a lot of ladies getting organized my friends. I love it! If you’ve been thinking about joining us it’s never too late, in fact I’d be thrilled if you’d consider it this week to help bring us over the 300 mark. If we reach that number by tomorrow (Aug 12th) at noon I’m going to select one lucky participant at random to send a nice little surprise to.

I had seen this a couple of weeks ago. With the decluttering challenge, I wasn’t able to start right away (had to prioritize) but I hope to make this a Habit in my new organized life! lol. When the kids were little, I did this regularly! I had been telling my husband, I needed to get back to menu planning because, I just was always gettting a blank as to what to cook for us when I got home from work!!! This will help me stay on track! 🙂 One thing else I like about menu planning is that you shop to have the ingredients. If on Tuesday you don’t feel like having that meal or time is shorter than usual, you can switch meals with another night because you will have those meal ingredients on hand!!
Annie says
Wow you made it over 300!! Good work chickie.

Menu Plan Monday is heading in the same direction as Works For Me Wednesday, Laura. I’m not a bit surprised. I see it went well past 300 participants this week. Congratulations on coming up with what’s turned out to be such a great idea.

300??? That is SO awesome! And I think you should know, that even though I no longer post my menu’s online, I guess I blogged them long enough to make it a habit. 🙂
This morning I did my menu planning for the rest of the month, went to Walmart, and viola…the majority of my shopping is done until Sept 1st! Woo-hoo!!!
Thanks for your inspiration! Keep up the great work!!!

Jennifer says
Thanks for the great gift – my new Card Cubby! I am going to use it for my membership cards – like the grocery store, CVS, etc., as well as all the gift cards I don’t have in one place. This system will be so much better than keeping them in my coupon binder like I am doing now. Thanks again! Jennifer
