For my family, meal planning is a necessity in order to not have chick fil A 3 times each week. When I don't meal plan, I feel lost when it comes to lunch and dinner.  When I get home from work, I literally scramble to try and get something on the table.  As a working mom of 2 little ones, getting a quick, semi-healthy, easy meal on the table is crucial in my house.

MEAL PLANNING ALSO HELPS WITH YOUR BUDGET BECAUSE IT ENABLES YOU TO BUY IN BULK AND PLAN YOUR MEALS AROUND WHATS ON SALE.

Looking for ways to add more time to your day?  As a full-time working mom to a preschooler and a toddler, time if often my worst enemy.  Time management is an ESSENTIAL part to getting everything done.

UTILIZE YOUR LUNCH BREAK

That hour can be used to do all sorts of things.  For me, I mostly use it to manage my Youtube page and this blog. I will also do some online shopping, monthly meal planning,budgeting, etc! Over the course of a week, that's an extra 5 hours in your week!
