Hey loves. Happy Monday. How was your weekend? We are over here in back to school prep mode. My kids got back to school Thursday, with open house and school supply drop off on Tuesday. We are counting down the days. For the most part they are all excited for a new school year and to see their friends. I am sad for summer to be ending but also excited for what the new school year holds and getting back into healthy routines.
Meal Planning Monday
Hey loves. It is officially back to school week. Summer has flown by. I never got into a good routine, life was hectic, and now we are back to reality. School starts back up on Thursday. We are starting off the week strong after spending the end of last week and weekend prepping for the week ahead including meal planning, grocery shopping, and baking freezer snacks. There is no better time than back to school to get meal planning and getting organized.
This week's meal plan is trying to keep it simple with the chaos of open houses, back to school Brinner, and routines.

Friday Favorites 8.14.2026
Hey loves. It's Friday. Where the heck has our summer gone? My kids start back to school next Thursday. We had Freshman orientation this past week, I am still in denial I have a Freshman. I am in denial that summer is about over. It also didn't help that this past week's weather sucked with lots of rain and storms not much sun or time to be outside. I am in no way ready for back to school. We did finally go school supply shopping last week but everything is in one pile on my table. i have a mile long to do list to prep for back to school still too. Anyone else feel like this summer went by super duper quick?
Things I Wish I Knew Before We Cruised on Norwegian Bliss
Hey loves. Have you been on a cruise? Our family took our first cruise together a few months ago. Brian along with our neighbor husband sat down and did all the research, compared prices, destinations, cruises lines etc. They narrowed dates and itineraries based on price, availability, and room selection. We ended up booking a 7 night Mexican Riviera cruise out of Los Angeles California on the Norwegian Bliss.
