Prep and Prep to be Prepared😥🤘

Hi there, happy Sunday! This is a day of prep for the kiddos and me in the house! We get everything or as much as we can prepped for the week ahead of us! Do you prep for the start of the week, what do you do to help the week go smoothly?

Here in our house it is filled with lots of prep however, this is to help the week go more smoothly! As a mom of 4 and the youngest almost a month old, plans and routines might not go as I would like!
One of the ways that I prep for the coming week is to prep snacks and lunch items  for the kid’s! These items are kept on a cookie sheet in the fridge, then the kiddos just need to repack some into containers and make their sandwiches. This makes lunches quick and easy, even less hectic and stressful!
Let me know if this is a topic that you find interesting, I can share more weekly prep ideas that we do around the house!
Of coarse go ahead and hit that subsribe or follow me button to join the fun.
Till next Sunday Prep Day have a great, prepared week!😁

Can You Feel The LOVE!❤

Hi there, and welcome to It’s A Mom Life!
Valentine’s day is always a busy time here in my house, as my oldest kid was born on Valentine’s day and being my only daughter out of 4 kids, that is a very special thing! So, I have always tried to amp things up a bit, however it’s not like things are always a good deal for this materialistic day!
So with all that I try to find new ideas and diy projects that we can do together in the house. Crafts can go a long way for quality time, and the can be displayed as decorations around the house.
I also try to do something that they will find special for them. This year I had seen a lot of buzz about hearts on the door stating what the parent finds special about the child! I figured I would give it a try, and the outcome as been awesome!
My daughter is a little more in it, then my son, as I am only writhing for the two older children that can read!
I have pre cut out hearts so all I need to do is the writting! With this every night or morning I tape a heart saying what is unique and/or special about each child, and they look forward to reading the new heart to feel that “love”.
This is how it is going and what the out come looks like! They share a bedroom right now so, I have each kid’s heart on different sides of the door! I will continue to add a heart each day of February!
What do you do for your kids on Valentine’s day, do you get them something for that day or do special stuff through out the month? Let me know how you roll and what fun things you do!

Make it and love it!

The fact of it all is that as a mom of 4, I get busy! Even being a stay at home mom, it gets crazy here! Does this sound familiar? So lets make what we can easier!
For this I want to say and show you a very easy homemade cleaner, that can be used for any surface. This is good for counters, mirrors, cupboards, floors, you need to wipe it down you can go to this!
What is it you might be wondering? It is the good old vinegar and water, that’s right that’s all it is. I add some essential oils to it just to add some nice smells to the house air! This makes it easy to change smells as the season’s change also!
So… for this all you need is:
A spray bottle
Vinegar
Water
Essential oil
To make it’s just as easy, fill spray bottle about 1/4 full of vinegar, fill rest of way with water then simply add essential oil about 10-20 drops or to desired strenth!
That is it, an awesome inexpensive all purpose cleaner, to help save time and money!
Give it a try what scent’s do you enjoy, do you change with the seasons.
I am currently using lemon for the surfaces, and peppermint for my floors!
Let me know yours in the comments down below!
Until next time have a great clean, fun smelling day!

Week 2 fill up challenge😁

Hello, how did our first week go? Did you get your inventory done,or just organize your food items?
This week’s challenge is called fill in because, just as it sounds you will get your main meal plan figured out, then use as little fill ins as you can example, use rice and frozen veggies for a big stir fry vs say meat and veggies. Try to use any left overs for as big of batch’s as you can, this is a great way to get meals in the freezer. Aim for more comfort basic foods, I find you can make stretch farther.
This should cut down the grocery bill by more the you would think. Here is a 2 week meal plan I did up for us, also some lunches are not filled in because the older kid’s are in school, so there is less required for the younger one! 🤗
Hope you have fun with this and be open minded when it comes to your meals!
Till next week for the third challenge have a great money saving week, with this challenge😁❤

Love What You Have

Well as February rolls in let’s think about loving what we have, Yes! This month it is going to be all about that… Loving and using what we have. This means less shopping and more saving. To kick it off as the first challenge it is going to be organize and priorarize your stuff… Stuff like food items/ meal plannin and bill organizing. Sounds easy enough.. Right?
So first thing first, figure out if you are going to use good old pen and paper or a spread sheet on your computer? Got your Stuff? Now let’s start.
Let’s start with bills, figure out what needs to be paid and when with how much, this way you will know what you have to work with and what you have left.
Next, we are going to organize our food and what we have on hand. With this you can make an inventory list, this will come in handy when you are getting ready to meal plan. With the inventory it can be written or typed or with a dry erase marker written right on the side or side of the freezer!
With this step as what I find one of the biggest steps done you can gather a meal plan for the week! Only the week and buy only essentials if any! This is because of next week’s challenge which will…. Meal plan and fill ins!!
So come, try the first challenge of February of organize and priorarize😁 and have fun with it and be creative!!
Come back through the week for other fun ideas!❤ Make sure to share any ideas or questions in the comments below!!

Just trying!

The world keeps changing, and people keep moving, and everything happens to fast it seems these days! A couple years ago I had debated starting a blog, not knowing anything about it. I still know nothing about it,  but with just having my last baby (as I always said I wanted four, and getting that dream) I thought I would give it a try! I am excited about this new chapter and hoping for the best! I know in a world of support dreams can come true!
I would like to thank everyone for the support and motivation to do it, advice and knowledge is always appreciate!
