This includes your family’s favorite meals and a Template menu.  Here you assign to each day of the week one or more general meal groups. For example, “Meat” and “Sides” on Monday, “Pasta” and “Salads” on Tuesday, etc. 👩🏻‍🍳

When the time comes for meal planning, you start populating your template menu with the meal ideas in the master meals list. 💁🏻‍♀️

About Valentina

hello darling!

Share my journey to discover how to live a fulfilling and balanced life as a working parent. I will share the best ways I have found to manage the family weekly menu, the emotional labour, travelling with kids, self-esteem, etc.

Becoming a working parent was overwhelming. Between the lack of time for myself, the demands of the job and career, and the high expectations I had for me as a parent and a partner, I was exhausted and not enjoying much of anything. In an effort to fight the continuous overwhelm, I researched topics, read books, and attended many courses. But all the books and courses were centered on “how to raise happy kids’, while no one focused on “how to become happy parents”.

This blog represents my effort in researching a system that allows working parents to be efficient at the things they have to do, so that they have more time for the things they love to do.

“But all the books and courses were centered on “how to raise happy kids’, while no one focused on “how to become happy parents”.

There are several compact options to choose from i There are several compact options to choose from if your child likes watercolor painting. Favorites include a 1) compact kit set that include colors, brush with water enclosed in the brush for a mess-free experience, and pad to dry the brush tip or 2) color sheets that can be used with a brush and water. This second option is the most compact but can get messier as you have your water to hold, while the first option offers a bit more control as the water is enclosed in the brush. ⁣
