The morning was nice and relaxing, as I networked with other moms. For the afternoon, I had a long list of what I wanted to accomplish, so I set right out to shop for groceries. After hitting both the Club store and the grocery store, I came home to prep freezer meals. I packed 4 freezer meals, plus got dinner ready, but that is about when my husband came home.
Overall, I guess it was a successful day. I got a weeks worth of meals prepped, but I did not make much of a dent in the rest of my list.
It also made me wonder, is my time best served by meal prep? Or should I pay for a service and use my time more productively?
I have tried pre-made meals, like Super Suppers or Dream Dinners before, but they still take time to cook. Plus they are not always as healthy as the food I would cook from scratch.
For now, I plan to follow a mix of approaches. I will but some pre-made meals and take time every month to do my own frozen meal prep.
5/5/14 A month later, I tried taking a day off again.
This time, I got the house vacuumed, 4 loads of laundry and the dishes done. At first thought, it seems like a waste to use a day off to clean the house, but since I want to spend time with my family on the weekends, it might be a good way to balance the house work.

What would you do with a day off?
