We are counting down until baby number five changes our lives forever. I feel myself winding down and at the same time feeling the need to nest. Part of nesting for me is pruning trees and bushes and planting bare roots, as well as preparing lesson plans ahead of time, stocking the freezer with meals, teaching the kids some new foods to prepare on their own, and, of course, cleaningcleaningcleaning. Something's gotta give, you know? So these meal plans will become more and more simple over the next five weeks, and then they'll probably disappear for a couple months as we eat up all the frozen meals and bond with the babe.
