Here are last week’s school lunches!!
We had a short week due to a day home sick and more food than usual was sent back home because Brooke wasn’t feeling well.

School Lunches – Week of September 21-25
School lunches can be overwhelming for parents. Finding a balance between sending a lunch to school that is healthy, cost effective, environmentally conscious and even more importantly, actually being eaten is can be a task.
On the same hand, I feel that sometimes the whole thing gets overcomplicated. So I’ve started documenting and sharing the school lunches I make for Brooke. They aren’t fancy or bento-blog worthy but most days they meet most of the above criteria. I like to call them “REAL” school lunches.
If you’d like to see these weekly snapshots of school lunches (and how well they go over with my 7 year old!), please subscribe to my YouTube channel.

Weekly Goals & Meal Plan – Solo Parenting Wrecked My Goals
Last week was not a good week for accomplishing my goals. I honestly couldn’t tell you why. The whole week was just a blur. We had a snow/ice/cold day on Thursday and Keith left for the SEC Women’s Tournament Thursday afternoon and didn’t get back until late last night. It was not my finest performance as a solo parent. I was lucky to get us all fed most of the time.
Oh well…no use dwelling on the past. Let’s see what’s up for this coming week.
