October Meal Plan + Meal Planning Tips

October Meal Plan + Meal Planning Tips

Who has their October meal plan ready to go? Don’t worry, I got you boo! (I’m all in on Halloween starting tomorrow, can you tell?)

I’m a freak that loves meal planning. I feel like I’ve got it down to a science. Here are my tips (or you can copy my meal plans, it’s cool):

  • Step 1. Don’t overthink this.

  • Step 2. Don’t overthink this.

  • I meal plan monthly. I spend about 30 minutes once a month. I used to do weekly but I would often fail to make the time to do it. It was also taking me about 20-30 minutes to do it weekly (yes, about the same as monthly) because I’d get sucked into the Pinterest rabbit hole of meal planning. Don’t do that.

Fall Home Decor Finds

I’ve been hesitant to put out any Fall decor because it’s still Summer here in Iowa. Curling up in a pumpkin colored Sherpa throw sounds like a form of torture even for this always cold young lady. (Hey, it’s my blog. I can throw around adjectives like “young” all I want.)

Iowa weather is finicky. Cold weather will be here sooner than I like. Until then I’ll be in my backyard pool (kiddie version) sipping pumpkin spice margaritas. (Is that a thing? Should it be a thing?)

I have been stalking Target’s home decor section. I’m currently 25 days into a shopping ban. Once that calendar flips our house will reek of pumpkin spice and be covered in goldenrod!

Are you a seasonal decorator? Are you a team Fall decorating, Halloween or both?
