I’m wrapping up a wonderful family vacation at the lake tomorrow. But even as I sit here watching the sunset over the water and sipping my Chocovine (dutch chocolate + fine red wine, who knew?!), even I can’t deny that the new school year is just around the corner. I know folks back in the south who have been in school for a week or two already!
In an effort to start the year off on the right foot, I’m doing a little meal planning prep – aka compiling all our healthy breakfast, lunch, after school snack, and simple gotta-get-to-soccer practice dinner ideas.
Why? Because I like having good resources but I LOVE having them all in one easy-to-access spot.
And, while I was at it, I thought I’d go ahead and share the list with you so you guys can have it as a resource to use all year long (share it with your mom friends too, they’ll thank you!).
