I am a full time working mother of three and wife to an amazing man. I started this blog because I was helping some friends with menu planning around their weekly grocery sales ad. They encouraged me to share this with others. So here I am...blogging. Each week my friends from around the country will challenge me to plan a week's menu from their local ad. I will post that challenge here for all to see. I hope you are inspired to try something new each week.
