Organize lunch and snacks

As school has started or about to start it's time to get back into the swing of things and get on some kind of routine.

Who hates making lunches in the morning for kids to take to school?How about after school when your kids are hungry and you seem to always have to make them a snack?

Here are some helpful ideas to make your mornings flow without feeling stressed or after school you can actually enjoy spending time with your kiddos instead of catering to them when they want snacks.
Whether you shop for your groceries on Saturday or Sunday. Sunday evening is the best time to get ready for the week. Make as much as you can for the lunches for the week. Prepare fruit in bags, cheese and meat in containers, make sandwiches, get everything organized so during the week all you have to do is put it in the lunch box. You can also put kids stuff on the bottom on the fridge so they can make their own lunches. Just have everything lined up for each day and they can be independent and do it them selves and if they complain that they didn't like their lunch you can say will packed it. You can give them options for each food category. For after school snacks I saw a great way to let kids pick what they want. Go out and by a shoe holder that you put on the back of a door. Fill it will different kinds of snacks and juice boxes and kids can get it them selves or you can use a chips and dip plate for your kitchen table with different snacks in it for when kids get home. They can fix there own snacks.  

So many different ways to make you life less crazy in the morning and more time for you to enjoy your kiddos before they are off to school. Same for after school. Sometimes it feels like your the maid and not the mom. Kids are very capable to do things on there own. I tend to help my 5 year do everything and I then feel exhausted. Once they are able to do most big kid stuff they can do more then you think and I need to stop helping him and let him figure it out.

This year let's all try to enjoy the year and not be so stressed about everything and love those kiddos.

We are on vacation before school starts back for us. Enjoying some Florida weather with family and friends.

What to buy when you are ready to ORGANIZE

I hear from my future clients that they have no idea what kind of things to buy before I visit to help them clear out the clutter.  I have put together a cheat sheet for my clients so when I meet them to talk about what needs to be done they can see what to buy before I visit. Today I visited two different Goodwill's in my area, I was amazed on what I found for less then $15.  I got baskets, containers, and much more to help with my organizing jobs.  My clients have the option to purchase before I visit or use what I have for a small fee.  I will post a few pictures I got today.  So its best to visit those thrift stores ever so often to find some treasures.  I am excited because I have a bunch of people interested in my organize services.  Here are my finds today.

Let's get organized for the new school year.

So I am having mixed emotions about the school year. I have a different feeling this year and it's sometimes a sad feeling because my baby boy starts kindergarten soon and sometimes I feel excited because we need to get on a routine and be more organized. Summer is great but we don't stay on a good routine and I feel disorganized. Here are some things I am going to try to work on and try to stick with, because it's important to have the same routine for everyone. I will confess I am really good at starting things with good intentions but then life happens and it falls through. My goal is to stick with it for all of us to have a stress-free school year. One of our big stuggles is getting ready in the morning. First of all he sleeps in. Then he takes for ever picking out his outfits. So I decided that every Sunday evening we are picking out 6 outfits and I got a organize hanging thing for closet where he can put his 6 things he can wear during the week. He will not be abl...
