Hey, I’m Blaga. A Mama of 4, wife, and a meal planning strategist obsessed with creating systems to make it as easy as possible for us mamas to answer the ‘what’s for dinner?’ dilemma without chaos!
For many years, I was doing it all wrong- thinking about dinner by the seat of my pants, not planning, and resorting to takeout and mad dashes to the grocery store wasting my precious time and money.
I finally realized if I was going to reduce the chaos, the overwhelm and pressure around the dinner time rush and meal planning, I needed a simple, effective and easy plan I could stick to no matter what was happening in our ever changing, busy lives.
So I created a system that fit our family’s busy schedule. One that slipped seamlessly into my already jam-packed life, but I could actually stick with. An easy, simple, and sustainable plan for delicious meals that nourished my family!. And I’m ready to share it with you!
If you are ready to find a simple meal planning system that is built for busy moms….
So you can create meals that are quick, healthy, and delicious
