Why you need thermoses for your kids lunches!

We love using the thermos for my kids lunches. First of all my kids love leftovers. So for us it’s a win win... we use up food and my kids get a delicious healthy lunch that they’ll actually eat! A thermos is not for just soups, it’s really for any food you want to keep warm. Just follow this simple method!

The key is a high quality lunch box friendly thermos. Amazon. Amazon. Target.We have one Thermos brand and one Sub Zero. I like both equally. If you can find one that is top rack dishwasher friendly, that’s a big mom win!

Step 1: Boil water on the stove top
Step 2: Once the water is to a roaring boil. Pour into thermos and seal.
Step 3: Heat up food to put in Thermos
Step 4: once food is hot, pour boiling water out.
Step 5: put hot food in hot thermos (if you are adding some non-liquid, you might dry it out with a paper towel)
Step 6: tight and seal up the thermos





Some things that we put in our thermos; soups, of course. Spaghetti or any pasta, Mac & cheese, chicken nuggets, rice & quinoa blend, scrambled eggs & sausage, leftover cheeseburger patty (no bun). Left over veggie stir fry.  This is just the tip of the iceberg. Really the sky is the limit.

My oldest isn’t a big sandwich person. So thermos days are her favorite. Truthfully they are my favorite too. I feel great about sending her a lunch she’ll love and not waste.

    I didn’t find the subzero brand lunch thermos’ to be especially good at keeping food hot for very long. I bought A set of two. The large one does a better job, but if i want my coffee hot all day i have to rubber-band a towel around it. The smaller one hardly kept the coffee warm til lunch. Still looking for the ideal thermos.

Monday Must Have - - - Closet Clothing Dividers for Kids

Mom's Take back your morning!!!! If you are like me and have multiple school age children, mornings can be stressful and time consuming.  The fight about clothes and hurrying to get dressed in the morning can be endless and infuriating.  I envy those of you whose children wear uniforms to school.  But regardless of if they wear everyday clothes or uniforms this method is priceless. This also allows momma to see if everything they need for the week is clean and ready.  I also hang practice clothes or jersey's with the day of the week of the game etc. I started this when my oldest was in preschool.  It allows us organization and frees our mornings up.  When I started doing this, I used a hanging sweater organizer.  This was a good fit for the closet at the time and it worked for our space.  Now, my oldest two children share a room and closet, so this method works better for us. I ordered colorful set of clothing organizers from Amazon . ...

Boundaries - - - Time for Childhood

Boundaries is a tricky subject matter. I think some people have a natural propensity for strong boundaries in their lives and some people have to work harder to establish them. When I say boundaries, I am specifically talking about ones ability to establish specific limits and guidelines for certain relationships and activities. I have a natural ability for well established boundaries. Many times friends and acquaintances have come to me seeking advice & recommendation on improving this area. I definitely don't say this to toot my own horn, but to share with you what I know about my successes and areas I still need to work on. One of the reasons boundary discussion can be complicated is that there are so many facets; emotional boundaries, physical boundaries, relationships boundaries & time boundaries... just to name a few. I could write an entire blog post on each facet of boundaries. And maybe I will get to all the points eventually. When you are a momma you ...

Cheeseburger Bowls

New Recipe! Trying to get back on track with eating. I’ve been like a 12 year old in the gas station market since school has been out! I’m attempting to be more carb conscious again. So I thought I’d work up a new summer recipe. What says summer more than burgers?!? You can certainly go the more traditional route and just 86 the bun or wrap it in lettuce. I wanted something even easier and more time friendly. I notice in summer it becomes a buffet at dinner... eating between sports, activities etc. So being able to make a plate as you need is ideal. Ingredients: Ground beef (I used a pound...easy to adjust for more or less) Season beef with: garlic salt, pepper, onion powder and a couple of splashes of Worcestershire sauce Chopped Iceberg Lettuce Chopped Pickles Chopped Tomatoes Shredded Cheese (Chopped Onions would also be great... but my crew isn’t a big fan) Sesame Seeds *Really any toppings you love on top of a burger would be absolutely great! That is why ...
