Meal Plan Monday (1/23/17-1/29/17)

 

Happy Monday, everyone! This week is starting off to another sunny, and finally, chilly start here in Dixie. Well friends, what a weekend our nation has had! While my opinions on the matter are obviously not needed in a Meal Plan Monday post, it’s still worth noting that no matter what changes our nation will face in the days to come, there are still things that we can all do as families to help offset these changes, including meal planning and easy, simple shopping and recipe creation. I’m a firm believer that when things change I cling to consistency, especially my weekly meal plans! 

This week’s menu again reflects our need to eat down our food stockpile. As we are having to consume everything we have on-hand first, we did not purchase anything new this week with the exception of fresh salad greens, cilantro, coconut oil, and organic nut milk. So in lieu of making individual meals, we are again using up pre-made freezer meals and frozen blanched veggies this week, which is enough to feed a family of three. I mean if it ain’t broke, right? 

So here is what we will be having this week, friends!

How to save this January on Pampers

This post was made possible by iConnect and Pampers. I was compensated for my participation in this campaign, but all opinions are 100% mine.


Did you know that for more than 50 years, parents have trusted Pampers to care for their babies? It’s true! They’re the #1-selling diaper worldwide. Did you also know that each day, more than 25 million babies in over 100 countries around the world wear them? They do and not only that, Pampers offers families a complete range of diapers, wipes, and training pants designed to provide great protection and comfort for every stage of baby’s development. 

Pampers also includes a wide range of products to fit every baby’s need including Swaddlers which lock away 2X more waste for up to 12 hours of dryness. They’re the only diapers with 3 absorbent layers compared to 2 layers in other leading national brands. Another awesome diaper to check out, Pampers Cruisers, the best-fitting diaper available, which will fit better around baby’s legs to help stop leaks!

I’m also happy to share with you all that you can get great savings on Pampers Swaddlers, the diaper brand that’s the #1 choice of moms! You can use this coupon to help you save $1.50 off of your next package of Pampers this January! Use this coupon to help you stock up on mom’s most loved diaper with these great savings too!

Also be sure to visit Pampers online to learn more about their range of products, join their Rewards program, and find ideas to help your baby get the most out of love, sleep and play!

 

So, everyone, what diapers do you use for your little ones? Will you take advantage of coupons and sales for diaper buying? I’d love to hear about it below!

Meal Plan Monday (1/23/17-1/29/17)
