Is it too early to put in a request for a weekend from my weekend?
As some of you might have seen on Instagram, Remy is starting daycare next week!! Which is obviously terrifying all on its own, but to top it off we had to let our nanny go yesterday and she took it probably a thousand times worse than I thought she would. Some not so nice things were said and it was overall just an emotionally exhausting experience. I feel terrible that we couldn’t keep her around forever because Remy really loves her, but we will save a lot of much needed money going the daycare route and I honestly believe that Remy will thrive from being around other kids so much. It just sucks that it had to end on such a sour note. I was really hoping it wouldn’t.
ANYWAYS. They say that food heals all wounds, so here’s this week’s meal plan!!

Great ideas and meal plans! Thanks for sharing them! The more info and ideas the merrier! Speaking of which…do you mind if I link you!?
Yikes. I’m sorry things with the nanny didn’t go well.
What a bummer letting the nanny go was rough. That’s not easy for either side but in reality, you both know it happens sometimes, so it is too bad it had to be strained. I’m a lover of my toddler’s daycare so I wish her a wonderful time!
