Meal plans are one thing; real life is another. Join Meagan and Sarah as we look back at a recent week in our lives, detailing the dinners we planned, the ones that came together as expected, and the curve balls that led to pizza ordered in. We also share cooking tips, modifications for picky eaters, recipes, and more. Enjoy!

Shoutout to Kelsey in WV! I’m also a WV mom but have been living in Oxford, UK for going on 5yrs now. I have a 1yo girl and no car, so meal planning is absolutely essential. We walk 1.5mi each way once a week to either Aldi or Lidl to get the bulk of our groceries and then rely on the farmer’s market and local groceries for the rest. Life here is so different but listening to The Mom Hour makes me feel a little closer to home and also reassured as I parent in a different culture and an ocean away from my friends and family. Thank you!
