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 7 of 2021

Happy Monday, friends!

This weekend I planted a lime tree and a Meyer lemon tree in our yard. Feels good to have that done. I am excited to see how they do in the next few years. Spent time with my valentines and didn’t do meal prep because cuddles and family time was more important. I’m sneaking time right now to write this out. Let’s figure out what’s happening by writing down our Intentions for the Week. Here are mine:

Granola Bark

Granola Bark - Shutterbean

We take our granola pretty seriously here in California. So much so that you can get a 3-inch chunk of granola bark down at a good coffee place for over $5 with your $6 coffee.

 I’ll make my own breakfast and coffee at home for less than $11, thank you.

But then I wonder if it’s one of those things where what you are paying for is better portion control. Having a whole tray of granola bark in my presence could make me eat well over $50 of granola bark.

I packaged some up for my Dad & a neighbor friend so I don’t end up eating $200 worth of granola bark.

This is for all of you who also love finding clusters & chunks in your favorite granola.
