Whew! This week has been CRAZY. Two of us have kids that just started school this week. The first couple of weeks is always chaotic as our schedules transition.
This week on Family Fun Friday, we are sharing some tips to ease the start of the school year. We have some advice for moms on keeping centered, ways to document and preserve school work, and some tips to make parenting easier. We also have some easy to make, quick to finish, meal ideas. Being organized can definitely help reduce back to school stress so we have a few features and advice on that too!
2 FREE Meals!
Plus, right now you can get 2 FREE meals from Blue Apron! That’s right, they reached out to HappyandBlessedHome.com and offered 2 FREE Meals for each and every reader of HappyandBlessedHome.com so that you can try out their delicious recipes and easy meal plans! You can pick what types of meats you like and even let them know if there are certain foods you can’t eat and they’ll customize your delivery. Click here for –> 2 FREE Meals. *This is not an affiliate link – Blue Apron is just tracking “interest”. If readers show an interest they may work with this community again in the future! Wahoo! If you’d like to see my experience with Blue Apron, check out my post “We tried Blue Apron and here’s what happened…” I even created a one minute video for each of the recipes I made for our family. Enjoy!
