I amuse myself

Thing 1 and I created a way for anyone who’s curious to know at a glance what’s for dinner.
A damn cool magnetic whiteboard slapped right on the front of the fridge.

Last week it had things like:
shakshuka
and
lemon garlic shrimp with pasta
and
breakfast
Oh! And macaroni and cheese because Thing 2 requested it when she was here.

This week our menu looks like this.

I didn’t feel like giving any fucks when it came to food.

The only reason Monday and Tuesday have real things is because the menu gets written on Wednesdays after grocery shopping.
We have food in the house.
Frozen veggies and meats. Pantry staples. Some fresh produce.
Enough to last nearly two full weeks.
I just didn’t have any real interest in planning meals.
Gonna be flying by the seat of my pants.
While that would normally freak me right out, I’m embracing it this week…

More than anything, I amused myself.
It was worth it.

  1. I have a menu board too. Love it. It stops at least twenty questions a day

  2. Hahaha !!

    I love this. 😄

  3. Double yes. 🙄

  4. Love the idea of a whiteboard. That could have saved me a lot of useless back-and-forth when my kids were little! 🙂

    • Same!
      I can tell you it saves that useless back and forth now when husbands walk into the kitchen and can read without asking questions. 😂
