Intentions for the Week:

Looking to get your head in the game? Tracy from Shutterbean makes a weekly TO DO LIST called her Intentions for the Week. Here's what this week looks like:

Intentions for the Week- Week 18 of 2020

Happy Monday, friends!

We’re starting a new week. Cooper’s got school. Husband and I both working from home and managing it all together. We’ve been sheltering in place for 47 days.  I’m starting to figure out a schedule somewhat. It was really hard for me to figure out how to shop and cook with all the restrictions we have. I’m used to going to the grocery store more often so it’s been interesting trying to buy enough food for over a week and have it not cost too much because our budget is tight right now. Also, how do I keep up my blog/sharing new recipes when things are kind of hard to come by and they probably will be for a while…and maybe it will get worse?  The trickiest part has been fresh produce…so I am thinking about doing some type of CSA pickup. Researching that right now. How’s everything where you are? WHEW.

I did some meal prep yesterday. THANK HEAVENS FOR A CLEAN FRIDGE. Casey cleaned the kitchen yesterday morning and it freed up the mental space for me to do the fridge. One of my intentions this week is to keep it more organized. Wish me luck. Let’s sit down and make a list to get out our Intentions this Week, shall we?

    Dear Tracy,
    congrats on cleaning and organizing kitchen and fridge! 🙂
    I find it crucial these days to have the kitchen as clean and organized as possible since we have all our meals at home and spent a lot of time there. I went to buy fresh produce today (which I do once a week now at a local farmers market) and, once back at home, it made me so happy to organize all the fresh greens and fruit for us to use up during the week.

    Things are slowly changing over here (Germany): Schools are still closed mostly, only kids having exams coming up are allowed to go. Some stores and shops are allowed to open again now, and masks are mandatory now during shopping and using public transportation. We’re still social distancing, week 7 as of today… It’s tough, especially for the kids. They miss hanging out with their friends so much!

    Be safe and have a good week!

    You are a great inspiration to me every day. I love your photos and they brighten my days.
    I’m always telling my daughters some of the things you’re doing.
    They love your kitties, we have 3 cats also.

    Ditto that I look forward to your beautiful photography and relatable posts each week. I am in Southern California and signed up for a CSA which has been great. It has supported a local organic family farm and my family of five generally has most of our veggie needs met for the week. It also is a fun creative challenge to come up with things to do with the random veggie we get – veggie roulette! Who knew that radish greens pesto was so delicious?
