Cleaning up the holiday's ~ Week 2, day 6 & 7 - Planning and putting it all together.

Now that your kitchen is in order you can start planning a routine that keeps your house running smoothly even if you are not at home.

Meal planning weekly or monthly is a great way to use up what you have in your pantry and fridge, while stopping the dreaded "what's for dinner?" By meal planning you know what you have and what needs to be bought in the future not right that second. Need a few quick ideas for dinner? Stock your freezer with some prepared meals you made in advance. Stock your pantry with meals to go, create a basket with everything you need and a list of items that are frozen or refrigerated so you can grab and cook with no hunting.

Create a calendar center. Set up your routines where you can see them daily. Place your meal plan, your shopping list, school calendars, and phone notes here. One stop for the whole family to see.

Week 3 of the Cleaning series is short with just the dining room so I will be adding posts of meal planning and make ahead meals for my readers to use. Now take a bow and enjoy your smooth running kitchen.
