Oh hi Tuesday! Here we go. It's another crazy week at our house. To be honest, I'm not even sure any of this food is actually going to be eaten. I'm out of town for work, we have Grandparents coming in and out, it's Valentines Day. Because of that I've made the plan for Sunday for us to just eat food.

A Couple of Things on a Friday
Oh you guys. It's Friday. I'm excited for sometime to be at home with family and friends. Bobby and I had a huge week. We took on a lot of new roles and traveled for work. By the end of today, I'm going to be exhausted.
I've been thinking about a couple of things this week.
1. Do you watch Bluey? It's on Disney+. It's about a family of dogs from Autralia. It's honestly one of my favorite shows to watch with the kids. It's clever and funny. Bo dies laughing every time. It's also pretty short for situations when you need something smaller. We just watched the episode called "Takeaway". I'm pretty sure there isn't a better representation of parenting than that episode. It's definitely a must watch.
2. We just discovered that we get a large quantity of books through Amazon Prime that we can read for free through the Kindle app. You don't have to have a Kindle, just a Prime Account. We've found lots of books that Bo enjoys, but I'm happy that I don't have to actually invest money in- Blaze and the Monster Machines, Bubble Gubbles, etc. There are also worthwhile books like The Bad Seed and Pete the Cat. There are also TONS of adult reads as well. I definitely recommend checking this out.
All you have to do is Download the App, Click Store, and then Prime Reading at the Top.
3. I picked out all of my clothes for the entire week on Sunday and it was a life changer. Does anyone else do this?
4. Let me be really embarrassed for a second. I can't drink water. I always realize at the end of the day that I only drank water. My kids have been really obsessed with Peaches lately and they come in a three jars to a pack. It feels wasteful to throw away the jars. They're big and good quality. They are also equal 64 ounces. So I've been filling those bad boys up each morning so I can be better about drinking water.
5. I'm obsessed with this soup right now- Italian Sausage Orzo Soup. It's like Grown Up Spaghetti-Os. I froze it in single servings so I can eat soup when that craving for processed food hits. (Is this something that only effects me?)
What are you loving this week? What's helping you be your very best self? Have a great Friday!

Classroom Valentines Day Gift Ideas
Valentine's Day is next week. When I was a kid, we threw candy in a lunch bag and called it a day. It's now important for us to think about the type of candy we're giving kids (for beyond good reasons). Because of this, I'd rather be safe than sorry! We're giving out Masks to Bo's classmates. I found a beyond good deal on Amazon and what 4 year old doesn't want a superhero mask?
Here are a couple of other great ideas for Valentines Day. Also, if you would like free Gift Tags for these gifts, find them here.

Meal Planning: February 3rd
It's all the things happening this week. Bobby is traveling for work. I'm stepping back into the classroom for a little bit. Our nanny is back. It's going to snow. There is a birthday party.
I'm tired just writing that list! It's all so many good things, but by the time 6:00 rolls around. I. AM. DONE. I've chosen dinners that are easy for me to make and kids to eat.
It's only three days late, but maybe this will help inspire you for next week.

Meal Planning: January 13
It's a Super Monday right now. I'm just posting our meal planning at 4:30 and I planned honestly the easiest dinner for tonight because I'm exhausted. We had such a great weekend that I just didn't want it to end. We're getting into the groove of this Winter Life. My pants zipper is feeling it too. What is it about low temperatures that make you never want to eat a salad?
A lot of the recipes from this week are the same as last week because we had so many leftovers on Thursday that it made no sense to make more food. We also had a Student of the Week that we had to celebrate so Saturday's dinner got bumped. That's why I plan something on the weekend that is able to be moved easily, you don't want to have to turn down dinner invitations or waste food because plans change. It also made going to the grocery store really nice today because it was a low bill and less to prep for the week!
Hope you have a good week! Happy Eating!
