Free Thanksgiving Printable

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and its the perfect time for celebrating and giving thanks with the people that mean the most- whether that be family or friends. Personally, I am anticipating staying at home with Zander, the hubster, and my fur babies because Zander will barely be a couple of weeks old. But, I have made this particular Thanksgiving printable in anticipation of Thanksgivings to come.

For those of you that are planning on hosting a grand Thanksgiving this printable is for you! I know that there are so many people that suffer from food allergies these days; so, I made these labels. Or you can use them as place settings to add the perfect flair to your holiday table this year!

Thanksgiving Printable Activity

Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for family, friends, what we have, and pretty much everything else in our lives. During most of the year, we often forget to give thanks for the little, amazing things in our lives- I know that I do (too much).

Here is a great activity to do with your family and friends on Thanksgiving. Simply, print it out, give a copy to everyone before or after dinner, and fill them out. You can pass the time by reading out your answers to each other and find out what everyone is truly thankful for!

Free Hospital Bag Printable

Hello everyone!

I can't believe that its almost time for me to welcome my little guy into the world. I can't be more happy. I just can't wait to hold him in my arms and cuddle with him. When I started this blog, around this time last year, I would never have thought that I would be anticipating welcoming the most perfect, beautiful little guy in the world to me.

How the hospital bag checklist was born...

As a lot of you know, I'm a planner. I love lists and having a plan. And let me just say this, I get a little on edge when my plan doesn't play out. But, I am trying to remember that giving birth is not something that goes according to plan. However, I can make sure that I have everything I need packed away and waiting by the door for when I need it.

When I started packing my hospital bag, I was kind of lost at what to pack. My OBGYN had provided a small list of things to bring to the hospital, but I knew that I needed more to be fully prepared. So, I decided to sit down and really brainstorm about what I need to bring along for this joyous adventure. That's how this printable was born.

Here's what I included in my checklist:

For Mom:

-Night gown

-Slippers

-Robe

-Comfortable bra and underwear

-Nursing Bra

-Nipple cream

-Nursing Pads

-Photo ID

-Insurance Card

-Hospital Paperwork

-Marriage Liscense

-Birth Plan

-Going Home Clothes

-Snacks

-Pillow

-Foldable bag

For Dad:

-Clothes

-Wallet

-Snacks

-Comfortable clothes

-Pillow

-Photo ID

Electronics:

-Cellphones and chargers

-Laptop or tablet

-Playlist and speakers

-MP3 Player

-Camera/video camera

-Extra batteries

Toiletries for the Parents:

-Soap

-Shampoo and conditioner

-Hair Brush

-Hair ties

-Straightener

-Lotion

-Chapstick

-Make up

-Pads

-Glasses, contacts, and solution

-Tylenol

For Baby:

-3-4 outfits

-Socks

-Mittens

-Hat

-Blankets

-Daipers

-Wipes

-Baby Powder

-Car Seat (installed)

-Nursing Pillow

-Baby Book

Free Printable: Happy Halloween Treat Bag Topper

I made this cute Halloween treat bag topper just in time to fill your bags full of goodies for all of the tricker treaters that you will encounter. I never gave too much thought to handing out candy or anything for that matter on Halloween because I never get any visitors. Yeah, not even a knock. I guess, living on a main road away from any neighborhoods of any kind have sort of isolated me from candy seekers.

Now that I'm about to become a mom I have put a lot more thought into the holidays because I want my little Zander to have a great time and really enjoy himself. I want his experiences to be one of a kind and unique so I plan on making a plethora of different printables, bag toppers, and anything else that you can imagine for the different holidays.

How to Use These Halloween Bag Toppers

Tools:

• Craft paper
• snack bags
• staples or tape
• printer

How to Use the Halloween Treat Toppers:

1. Print out the printable below and cut them out.
2. Fill up your snack bags with goodies.
3. Secure the toppers with tape or staples.

How to Fit Exercise Into Your Busy Schedule With Free Printable

Fit Exercise into Your Busy Schedule
Good morning everyone! For this post, I wanted to share my experience in fitting exercise into my busy schedule. Honestly, after working on this blog, organizing my house, being pregnant, and doing everything else I can hardly talk myself into getting exercise.


Exercising is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. I've heard so many doctors and articles claim that a great remedy to pretty much anything is exercise. There are so many aliments and disorders that can be improved by exercise; for instance, obesity, diabetes, and sleep apnea.


Once I found out that I was pregnant, I tried to fit in more exercise into my busy schedule. Honestly, I did pretty good for the second semester and part of the third semester. Now that I've gained too much weight to mention and started getting tired again I've been slacking.


Plus, at my OBGYN appointment this week, I decided that it would be a good idea to jump wildly off of the exam table and fell. My ankle did this popping noise and I completely wounded my pride. Good thing that I have had massive amounts of practice in being gracefully clumsy (if that's a thing). Luckily, little Zander is unscathed and I am fine. The only real problem is that my whole leg was swollen. Its finally going down after my hubby took great care of me. So, I'm using my poor, swollen leg as an excuse not to exercise much.


After I get over this ankle thing I plan on getting back into my exercise routine. So, I decided to make up this printable to fit exercise back into my busy schedule. I tried to include everything in this printable. With this printable you'll be able to keep track of your busy schedule, calls, appointments, and how much exercise you fit in that day.

Free Printable Recipe Cards

have so many recipes that are on odd and end paper bits. When I find a recipe that I think my family will like, I get too excited, and I end up jotting down that delicious recipe on a shopping receipt. Then, I'll promptly lose that receipt at a moment's notice in the epicness that is my purse. Or I'll get especially unlucky and it will be washed in a load of laundry.


Being slightly obsessive about organizing, this plethora of random mismatched papers gets on my nerves. Actually, it does a lot more than that. I believe that I've had nightmare of a random assortment of paper bits attacking me while I try to cook dinner. Its a serious problem .


Certainly, I'm not the only one who feels as strongly about this issue. So, I have decided to change all of this and make my own recipe cards. I have transferred a lot of my recipes over to these homemade cards and I have printed out a ton of blanks just to be ready for when inspiration (or the latest issue of Clean Eating) strikes.

Download these recipe cards here.

Directions to download the free printable recipe card:

1. Either save the image above or download the image from the link above.
2. Open recipe card picture in a Word Document.
3. Print out.
4. Fill it out!

I used paper stock to print mine out on. The paper is a little bit thicker than standard printer paper and can (hopefully) withstand getting thrown around in my kitchen drawers!

Free Printable: Weekly Menu Planner

There's that one little question that I know is on my husband's mind the moment he walks through the door after a hard day at work: "What's for dinner?"

That one little question makes me want to cringe about three hours before the words even leave his lips. 

I always have a tough time coming up with ideas for dinner. Sometimes I just panic and find myself staring blindly at the contents of my pantry, freezer, and fridge. Usually, I can get creative and whip something up, but there are those times that I just can't make anything work. And then I feel like a failure because I'm suppose to be able to do this. No matter how many times my husband says its okay and that we'll just go out (because he's awesome like that).

So, I've taken almost all of the panic out of dinner time with my new handy-dandy weekly menu planner. I just have to take a few minutes one day a week to come up with ideas and get a solid plan in the works.

If you're like me, then you may need to use my handy-dandy weekly menu planner. Keep reading for instructions on how to get it for free below take all of the hassle out of dinner time!

Normally, you can just print out the printables I supply here at Methodical Living, but for some reason this particular printable is being stubborn. So, to make sure that everything goes smoothly I encourage everyone to check the size before printing!

Printing Instructions:

1. Download the picture from the link above.
2. Open a Word document and inset the picture.
3. Size it to fit a standard sheet of paper.
4. Print it out.
5. Fill it in with everything you need for the week!
