Get Ready for Back To School
I refer to August as the “Mom’s New Year”. August usually ushers in the new school year and with it the return to order from summer chaos. Now some of you are dreading the start of the school year, while others of you have a secret countdown calendar stowed away where you are marking off the days. Yes, I KNOW you do, don’t even try to pretend you don’t!
As order returns to our world and kids have to get to school in a timely manner, moms everywhere begin looking to make a fresh start. New school clothes, new schedules, new school supplies. New, new, new. See what I mean the “Mom New Year”. I think that is what “Back To School” actually means if you look it up on wikipedia. :)
Well around here, getting life in order means restoring order in the kitchen. All of a sudden once a month cooking kicks into high gear. We also start getting question after question about kids lunch ideas and what to do about lunch for those still at home. We will be helping you with some great resources over the next few weeks as we will be talking about some quick things you can have on hand for your family during this busy season.
