Hands in the air if you\u2019re equally excited to be back in a routine, but also lamenting the end of summer. We are officially back in school, back to the dance-horses-homework extravaganza, and while I thrive on a schedule, things are busy, as I\u2019m sure many of you can relate.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m here trying to make the week as streamlined as possible, and here are some of the things that have helped:<\/p>\n

– Doing anything I can the night before.<\/strong> This means packing lunches, setting out uniforms (including hair accessories and shoes), packing snacks, and setting out water bottles to be filled. I also make a mental note of what the kids are having for breakfast, so I can make anything in advance.<\/p>\n

– Start dinner in the afternoon.<\/strong> Many nights, Liv is finished with dance late, so I have dinner waiting for the crew when they\u2019re done with their activities for the day. I\u2019ve found that late afternoon, before school pickup, is the best chance to get some veggies chopped, and make anything I can before pickup.<\/p>\n

– Snack prep!<\/strong> I try to make snack staples at the beginning of the week, so that the kids have lots of options.<\/p>\n

Here are two favorites that they\u2019re loving lately!<\/p>\n

Lemon Blueberry Muffins and Chocolate Coconut Energy Bites<\/h2>\n

Lemon Blueberry Muffins<\/h3>\n

These lemon blueberry muffins have a bright and zesty flavor. P says they taste like pancake muffins! I also like that they\u2019re not too sweet. You can absolutely increase the sweetness by adding more coconut sugar or maple syrup. Make a batch and freeze to have on hand for the week. I\u2019ll heat them up and serve with pre-boiled eggs for a quick school morning breakfast.<\/p>\n
