For anyone reading the comments, I highly encourage each of you to set aside some time alone to answer these for yourself. It was such an eye-opening and helpful exercise for me. I have felt utterly depleted and overwhelmed, so with the new year upon us, I decided to take some time to evaluate where I've been and where I want to be in the future. I often turn to your blog Sarah for encouragement, a reality check and a reminder of just how valuable home, children and simplicity is. I was so happy to see this post and the questions you came up with--it was just what I needed. Your work on this blog is so meaningful to me. Thank you and I hope 2021 is filled with every good thing your heart desires:).Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12009557249769038469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2331752969086770281.post-41531205111228195762021-01-15T13:24:20.725-05:002021-01-15T13:24:20.725-05:00So true!

I have binders of tried and true recipes. I remove ones that I don't use so these are all go to's. Then I print recipes to try or bookmark them in instagram/FB but if I really plan to make it, I print it out. After I make it, if it was a hit it goes in a binder, if it's a flop the print goes in the recycle bin and I remove any bookmarks. The biggest thing that helped me years ago is to remember every meal doesn't have to be complex. Tacos, meatball grinders using frozen meatballs, Philly cheesesteaks using shaved steak all are meals! If I rotate those into more time consuming meals like chicken pot pie, enchilada bakes, etc, it makes feeding my family much more doable. Looking at the schedule and planning ahead means I can still feed everyone even if I am working all day and have an evening commitment because I will either assemble something the night before or plan a slow cooker meal so its hands free that evening.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16059542061229594857noreply@blogger.com
