There is something almost relaxing about Mondays in my little stay-home-mom life. Our weekends tend to be full of activities, projects and general life living with all four of us at home. On Mondays, I wake up and get the girl ready for kindergarten, feed both munchkins breakfast, send off the husband, drop off the girl, and then the boy and I come home and all is quiet. I drink my tea. I clean up the kitchen from the morning frenzy. My boy seems to enjoy the quiet too. He is currently curled up under a blanket. Granted, in about 4.3 seconds he’ll be leaping from couch to couch, but, for now, he is quiet.
What are your Monday’s like?
<insert witty transition here….>
This week’s dinner menu:
Monday – Pancakes and Fruit (I use this Whole Wheat Buttermilk Pancake Recipe from cooking light)
Tuesday – Black Bean Soup with Caramelized Onions, kids will have a little soup and some cheese quesadillas
Wednesday – Oven Baked Lentils and Rice with bread machine bread
Thursday – Buddha Bowls
Friday – Vegetable Pot Pie or Pizza

I am with you on quiet Monday mornings. As much as I love the weekends, the peacefulness of Mondays are sort of necessary to enter the rest of the busy week. I hope yours is a great one!
my weeks are the opposite! week days are a flurry of grad school work, my husband’s long work hours, fitting in iin modules, blog stuff, and general busy-ness. weekends are when we relax and pick one or two things to do.
i joined this link party today too after seeing you do it!
My Mondays were quite different when working (both with and without kids). Funny how life patterns changes so much in different seasons of life. Enjoy the relaxing weekends with your guy and ups!
I saw your post – love it!
I would love eating at your house. I salivate everytime you mention those Buddha bowls!
