A Little Bit of Planning...
It's Sunday evening and, for a variety of reasons, this is the first time that we've had a chance to blog this week. We know, we know, we skipped a couple of weeks ago. Guess what? We almost skipped this week too! We were going to save up for something really good next Friday but then as the afternoon was dragging into the evening this thought came around: What if this little tip actually makes someone's life easier THIS WEEK. So, here it is, short and sweet. A little bit of time and planning on Sunday night will make your life so much easier during the week.
You see, I (Becky) HATE to pack my lunch for work. I HATE it. I would probably pay someone else to do it for me if that were an option, or if I wasn't so ... frugal. I can't speak for Sally, she might enjoy fixing lunch in the morning - in which case, she can fix my lunch anytime! So, I've gotten into the habit of doing all of the prep work on Sunday evening. I'm into a salad kick lately (something about you can't always eat french fries at lunch). So, on Sunday afternoon, I wash and cut up a head of lettuce and put it into a container for the week. The same goes with the carrots that I shred (the Salad Shooter is my friend), and the ranch dressing I make from scratch. I turn on the iPod, crank up the music, and in 20 minutes, all my lunch prep is done! Then, in the morning, bleary eyed and wishing I had gone to bed earlier, all I have to do is layer my ingredients into a reusable container. So, our tip for the week ... a little bit of planning on Sunday night will make Monday morning, and Tuesday morning, and all of your other mornings a lot easier.
Off to the kitchen. And, up Friday, something fantastic and wonderful and chock full of pictures. Thanks for understanding that sometimes your to-do list doesn't get to-done.
Have a great week!
