                                            With 2 of his amazing teachers!  Today was Ethan's last day of first grade!

Getting ready to start another whole 30 on Monday, this will be my second! I am nervous, I was the first time too so I know I can do it and I know it will be so great for me! I just have to psych myself up to get ready!! One of the tools that will help me is a website called Plan To Eat  The best tool for importing recipes automatically from any website or blog! Meal planning and then it creates your shopping list that you can also see on your cell phone so while in the store you just click each item as you put it in the card and it disappears from the list!!! I will save you money by allowing you to easily plan and shop and not buy extra stuff. My favorite part is the recipe importer! Use this link to try it for 30 days free!  https://www.plantoeat.com/ref/134fc605ab I am going to try and blog everyday for accountability and also to share the recipes I find and enjoy a long the way. If you are on plan to eat you can go to my Whole 30 category and see the re...
