Happy Sunday!  How is your Sunday going?  I love Sundays!

I don't know about you – but Sunday is a critical day in preparing for my school week.  Here is my Sunday essentials:

WEEK OF MEALS:  I plan, shop, and cook my entire week of breakfast and lunches!  This week I am making pumpkin spice protein pancakes for breakfast and butternut squash soup for my lunches.  This saves me the stress of preparing breakfast or lunch as I get ready for my work day.   It gives me the space to be creative and cook up some yummy food!  I am working on taking off about 10 pounds.  The next 8 weeks are my biggest challenge with holiday treat abounding.   Typically I gain 5 to 10 pounds – yikes!  I am going to work on maintaining my weight this season.

WEEK OF OUTFITS:  This is a must because I am a night owl.  When I get up in the morning – I will be honest – I do not have a lot of mindfulness.  I have been known to wear a shirt inside out and not know it.  What can I say?  I love staying up late and it has its consequences!  My remedy?  On Sunday – I put together my weekly outfits.  I am currently having an issue of not enough clothes!  The sweet pain of weight loss!  🙂

WEEKLY PLANS:  Every Sunday I write my lesson plans, plan my blog entries, shop for any materials I might need for the school week.  AND of course – this week I am planning my big blogiversary!  I am even writing my next year of blogging goals, visions, and dreams.

Check back tomorrow!  The celebration begins!

Hugs!
