Mom Life with Adrienne

 Hey loves. Today was my kids first day back to school. It was a rough morning. We had been practicing all week but today didn't go as planned. One child ended up having to run to the bus stop but it all worked out. Prayers they all have a wonderful first day and the hiccup of the morning doesn't effect the rest of their day. 

It's time for new beginnings and fresh starts. There can also be a quiet sense of dread. The return of schedules, expectations, full calendars. It is a shift, whether we are ready or not. They are off to school.

 Hey loves. We took our last trip to Brian's sisters farm in Kentucky right after school let out in June. Brian's sister and brother in law sold the farm and moved cross country to California to be near their children and grandkids. Our family loved visiting the farm a few times a year and wish we could have gone more times. I

 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. 

 I am linking up with Sarah and Holly for Hello 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.

 Hey loves. It is officially the week of back to school. Earlier bedtimes and early wakes ups start tomorrow morning to get ready for school starting on Thursday. I am sharing a few helpful things I am doing today and tomorrow to prepare for the week ahead.
