Busy. So. stinkin. busy. We all feel it, don’t we? As homeschool moms, so much rests on our shoulders. The baby care. The kid care. Running the household. Loving our husbands. Planning all the birthdays, holidays, field trips, meals, appointments, checkups, and everything else, it seems. Yes, we love our families. We want to do our best! (By crackie, we ARE doing our best!) But good gravy, it would be nice to off-load a few things every now and then, wouldn’t it?
True story: Last month I purchased Menu Planning Central. I’ve been a fan of theirs for many years, and when I saw the opportunity to buy it, I knew I wanted to because it is a perfect service to offer to busy homeschool moms.
What is it? Done-for-you menu planning, with printable recipes and organized shopping lists! Now, instead of trying to figure out what you’ll be eating week after week, and then making out your grocery list, you can simply print and head to the store. You’ll come home with everything you need to make delicious meals that your family will enjoy, leaving you time and energy to enjoy dinner as well!
Right now we’ve got a big sale going on at Menu Planning Central. You can get 50% off the Lifetime Memberships, so basically you can cross menu planning and shopping-list-making off your To Do list forever!
You may have had to play the recorder when you were a kid. Â Mary Had a Little Lamb and such, right? Â Well, this guy totally made me smile with his mad skills that combine beatboxing and the recorder. Â Check it out! Â Your kids will love this.

Isn’t it just really exciting to see good stuff happening in education everywhere, regardless of location? I think so!  Somebody in Louisville is doing something right, because this percussion group rocks!  I’m absolutely inspired by the engagement and skill that these kids have.

Welcome to the Enrichment Lifestyle Blog! I'm so glad you're here. :) I'm Erica Johns, and I love to encourage homeschool moms and help them enjoy more of the beauty of the arts in everyday life.
About me: I started my homeschooling journey in 1997 and graduated the last of my six children in 2021. Amidst all the hard work, crazy days, uncertainty, and lost pencils, what I think we really gained was the gift of a lifetime: TIME TOGETHER. So awesome! Click my pic to learn more.
