Always make the bed after you wake up. Start your day with quiet time in the morning. Always have turkey for Thanksgiving. We all have rules that we follow for one reason or another.

The idea of meal planning used to make me roll my eyes. It felt like I was spending so much time just trying to figure out what to eat. So I would just fly by the seat of my pants and buy whatever felt right. But here's the secret as spilled by Ann Kent herself, even if you don't meal plan.... you still have to figure out what to eat! And I'd bet that there will be several more unscheduled trips to the grocery store so we end up spending MORE time meal planning when we... don't... meal plan....
