Back to School Breakfast Plan

I was really hoping to be mostly done with this, or at least have a PLAN by last week. The last week has been crazy for us sports wise, and I haven’t had more than 10 seconds to work on anything. 

It might sound silly but having a plan for breakfast makes it a little easier. 

My breakfast game plan for this school year. 

-Have a loose routine for weekdays

      That eliminates the “what’s for breakfast             

        issue”  

-Pack the freezer! 

       Things that can be made ahead and frozen. 

         Burritos

         Breakfast sandwiches 

         Frozen biscuits 

         Breakfast cookies 

         French toast sticks

         Smoothie packs 

-Keep on hand

      Checking these before every grocery trip!      

      Staples for breakfast and sanity! 

         Yogurt (or option to make it)

          Eggs

          Oats (I prefer steel cut) 

-Special items 

     We have late start every other Wednesday.   

     On those days I like to make something a 

     little out of the usual. Some are made ahead

     and some require some planning ahead. 

       French toast bake (I can make ahead)

       Cinnamon Rolls 

       Apple Nachos 

       Love Puffs 

Now I’ve got links to lots of those things, but I am currently at the dentist and I can feel my oral sedation working and I’m scared to link randomness.  I’ll be back with a clearer head 😆

I would LOVE to see how you all do this, how do you make mornings a little smoother?

We have just 3 full weeks of Summer left 😬

I’ve been off my game the last year or 2.  I’ve been thinking about the things that bring me stress during the school year. I’m sure I am not alone, RIGHT? Things like laundry, breakfast and that kind of stuff. Well I tried to think about my whole week from Monday morning to Sunday night and how MUCH their really is, every week.  I’ve already purged all the clothes, but I need to find an easy way to make sure clothes are not a fight in the morning! Feeding these kids, both breakfast and lunch have to be figured out before 7AM every day! Laundry from start to finish and housekeeping  🤭

🏈⚽️🏐🎀 Sports! So many practices and games and uniforms. I’ve got to have it all where it needs to be. And finally at the end of the day, there’s Dinner and homework    I could easily feel overwhelmed if I decide to wing it, which is pretty much what we have been doing. I don’t want another school year of that, I’ve definitely got way more gray going on since last year 🥴 

So I am working on getting something in place for all of those!

What’s your biggest stress during the school year?

July Wrap Up

July is winding down 😬😭 I’m not ready! I say I’m not ready for just about every month to end though, so nothing new there. August is just so much!  Back to school, end of summer, trying to shove all the fun stuff in those last 4 weeks, sports starting, dreaming of things to be less busy in September when the kids go back to school. 

That’s a total lie, September is never less busy, it’s just different busy.  I want to love every minute of August and not be overwhelmed about school supplies or housework or dinner or SCHOOL CLOTHES 🥴. All those things have to be done but I don’t have to stress about them.

Here is my plan to *try to* balance, using that word lightly, all the things we want to do. 

My planner will hopefully be a good compass and roadmap for us! Adding in 

Must do’s

 Like kids physicals, appointments, my team practices and kids practices. 

 Then it’s WANT to do’s

Lake swimming, parade, outdoor movie nights, camping, beach trips etc. 

Then the should do’s can have a place. School clothes shopping, making that a date instead of dreading it, cleaning out the shop and garage, those kind of things. 

How are you prepping to make August super?

January 2018 Goals

I am a little nervous with how 2018 is starting. I'm just now getting to my detailed goals for the month 😐 hopefully it's just a fluke and I won't be behind ALL year!

January is a good time for me to just start fresh and get back to basics. The things that are my base, the most important. 

So here they are, short and sweet. 

Personal-read a book. That shouldn't be THAT hard right? This is what I am ready :)

Relationships-schedule and do a kid date with each of them. 

Household-Keep up on cleaning schedule AND finish caulking in kitchen 😜

Financial-stay in the grocery budget and pay off 2 debts. 

Also, focus on my One Little Word, same as last year. WILD. I love it and I love the idea that we don't need intervention from other people.  

I will get to details on HOW I hope to reach these goals on the next couple days :) 

You set resolutions or monthly goals?
