Friends, I’ll be brief because, oh my word, I am absolutely exhausted!

Allow me to introduce Ginger, our newest family member. She’s been with us for just over a week, and we are all utterly smitten. She’s a mini golden doodle, and much like my other kids, she’s sweet, blonde, and has a particular fondness for crying all night long. 😂 So, formulating coherent sentences might be a challenge this week!

With a clear plan in place, you’ll be less likely to reach for unhealthy takeout or processed foods when hunger strikes. This weekly meal plan is designed to empower you to take control of your nutrition, one delicious meal at a time.
