A number of my dedicated blog readers have been requesting meal planning ideas. Since meal planning is actually one of my own dreaded weekly chores, I completely understand the demand for family meal plans. I hope to add at least one week of planned out dinners (and a dessert!) each month. Also, a free printable grocery shopping list is available to my e-mail subscribers (see below!).

Congratulations! Chances are if you are looking at this blog post then you are on your way to becoming a parent. I hope you feel excited and are bubbling up with happiness. Nerves and a little stress about your upcoming big life change are normal, but I hope my complete baby registry guide and checklist help ease your worries about what to register for.

I’ve definitely been reading some interesting books lately. Even though I haven’t loved all of them, I’ve enjoyed the variety and selecting books I wouldn’t normally have picked for myself. It’s always good to branch out and try new things. Maybe in my September recommendations below you’ll find one to try out of your typical reading comfort zone.

Gift giving stresses me out. I just want to know what would make the person I am shopping for the happiest and get that. The trouble is, not everyone always gives you ideas and would prefer to be “surprised”. That’s when I scour Pinterest for gift guides. I hope my gift guide for two-year-olds helps some of you feel less stress when buying presents.
