classyclassicsbykandisLeave a comment

Good morning!

I wanted to hope on here and say sorry life as been crazy here and I do have a blog coming but…… it’s late! Story of my life!

This morning my kids well the 2 little decided to get super early, like earlier than what they really should of. For some reason my to littles decide to always go into their brother’s room in the middle of the night!

I don’t know what to do about this they won’t come to my room but, they always go to his room! What do you recommend I tried doing how about this?

This is something that doesn’t happen all the time but, more and more lately!

One thing that I am trying to take the positive from this and have a little more time to get my day going and try to get my todo list done! ✔

With fall officially here there is tons of chores to be done outside before the snow starts or the heavy frost at least!

We are busy getting all the garden tools taken out of the garden, toys being sorted and put away, etc!

What do you do before winter comes?

I am full boogy here as I try to get as much done outside to get inside to try to get my basic routines done at least before bed time!

Thats another problem I am dealing with! Well it’s only a little problem but, I am falling asleep before I am ready too! lol

Mamma needs her time to at night before I fall asleep..

I think I need to re-look my evening routine for that one!

Routines are changing, tons of organizing, and garden look over is all coming this fall and winter!!!

I hope you enjoyed the mom talk! I love being able to connect with such an amazing community!

Until next blog!

Stay motivated!

Cross that todo list off!

Until next week have a great day, a wonderful weekend and a productive week!

Bye for now!

classyclassicsbykandis6 Comments

Summer time!

We tend to what seems like eat way more in the summer months!
Maybe it seems like it, maybe because I don’t want to cook, when it’s so nice out.
Who want to do the same thing everyday like cook supper when you can be out playing in the sun.
This is a reason why I love freezer meals, but if freezer meals is not your jive, or you don’t have any on hand.
Have no fear mama Kandis is here lol.
Hi I’m Kandis a stay at home mom and wife. I have 4 children ages from 12 down to 2 years! I tell you food can go fast here, I’m always thinking on what’s the next thing to make! What to do for supper again tonight Lol!🤣
So let’s talk burgers, easy, fast and will save you money!
Sounds magical to me lol, so let’s start!
There is always those go to summer meals. Those foods that seem ok to constantly eat over and over in the summer.
In this house one of our staple go to foods is good old burgers!
What is your staple summer foods, something that no matter what the family will eat and usually enjoy!
With burgers it’s just easy right!
Make a salad, or some fries or just have the burgers! Grill them, bake them fry them it does not matter!
Have them at home, bbq at a friend’s house or camping!
You can have them anywhere!
So here is how I make my burgers that take only minutes to get ready.
Pre cook some pop them into the freezer, or leave them uncooked and freeze them.
It does
Either way that works or just eat them all and save none because, well they are yummy haha.
I have been making my burgers this way for years, and I will not stop making my homemade burgers. Actually would you believe me when I say I have not had a premade burger in at least 8 years. 🤤
That is really how quick and easy and of coarse delicious they are!😉
If your ready then let’s go, and talk burger making!
This is a recipe that can be make small or big you will see how easy it is to make lots at once.

You will need for a batch is:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 egg
  • Diced onion
  • Spices what ever spices you want I use parsley,garlic powder, onion powder and paprika

In a bowl mix all together
I use a measuring cup usually at least 1/4 cup
Scoop meat mix and flatten into a patty, place on cookie sheet and repeat!
Yap it’s that easy!

Grill, bake or fry about 10 min per side or until cooked all way through depending on the size of burgers you have made!

Then sit back and enjoy!

What are you waiting for you can be eating burgers any day of the week, with this easy go to yummy burger recipe!

I hope this helps get you through some of the summer days of the cooking cleaning, and repeat.
Go ahead and make a batch or 2 or 3 lol it will come in handy as the days get hot and the nights get long!

FINDING BALANCE!

classyclassicsbykandis3 Comments

Good morning happy Monday! Welcome to another week!

How is your week last week?

Have we been getting through spring cleaning and getting ready to bust outside, we had a fire ban on here in Saskatchewan and then it snowed overnight!

I’m not sure if spring is here yet! Well calendar wise yes, weather sometimes lol!

The last couple weeks I’ve been finding myself a little disappointed in myself!

I am a stay-at-home mom of 4 kids, 2 that go to school and 2 that still stay at home. I have been married for 15 years!

I have been struggling the last couple weeks to find balance in all of my stuff.

Let me explain this to you, it’s does not have to do with how my house chores and/or role that I play in this house, I have been trying to focus on getting back onto my meal planning and fitness!

Oh, have you noticed that prices of groceries are going up? I have noticed that it’s hard to get everything that you need, and be able to afford it the same time.

This is one thing that I’ve been trying to get better with again is being a much more frugal home-based mom. I had really thrived with this before for my third pregnancy and some into my fourth pregnancy!

After the move that we did, things got a little hard and I tended to pull from a box a lot more, this is a hard habit to get back into this planning and not pull from that box or just make macaroni!

Another thing that I feel that I am lacking in is health of myself! I struggled with my weight for many years this is not something that has been traumatizing to me but I am very proud that I had never been in as good shape as I am now and I’ve had four kids and being out of school for over 10 years, I had found a lot of excitement of working out and eating better when my second child was younger!

And, now I’m sitting here I can hardly get myself to drink water, I had done some workouts the other month, trying to get into it again and the only time that I kind of have motivation and time to be able to do it at night!

This is fine except for summer is coming and it’s really hard to do that when you have little kids and an entire family with summer coming!

So I’ve been kind of hard on myself not knowing how to achieve my stuff blah blah blah.

I then decided,you know what my third kid is going to start play school soon my last kid still takes naps, and so I feel then I should not be trying to push myself to the point where I feel so bad that I can’t do it not because I’m just too lazy but I am busy right up till like 9:30 at night.

So instead of being angry with myself I’m trying to take a different spin on it.

I thought I would focus little more on basic health!

With this set of trying to force myself to workout until the time is right I really that sounds like an excuse but…

I thought I would try to focus on my water intake and simply just work on some stretching, and to try to really focus on what I am eating!

To eat healthy is something that I’m trying to work on. I am a fairly active mom obviously chasing 4 kids. However remember the kicker is that abs are actually made in the kitchen!

It is really hard for me to try to start something and not go full in, I’m trying to focus on the little things to make my way to the big things!

It’s just the time of the season for the kids and myself and I have to keep in mind with in a couple years it’s all going to be different again! They will not always be here and my babies!

With new goals for a bit, as summer is rolling in, I am excited about trying to take a step back on everything, fold a couple towels to put down for now and take it slower!

What are some clean eating foods you like?

I think it’s fun trying new easy foods, to get the ball rolling!

Hope you liked the blog! Want some healthy motivation?

Make sure to follow my social media pages I will have links below!

Until next week

Have a great day, a wonderful weekend and a productive week!

Bye for now

AFTERNOON ROUTINE.. DON’T FORGET THE COFFEE!

classyclassicsbykandis4 Comments

Hello and good morning!

Welcome back to Classy Classics By Kandis!

How did your morning go?

This week has been just crazy in my house! The kids are all home, and we are trucking along on the remote learning! My house is still standing, I have not pulled out all my hair, plus my dishes are done!

Well at least for now they are haha.

Its funny how the afternoon was used for before whether it is when the older kids were smaller, or when they at school. I don’t know what the year will entail, all I know is that I still need a solid afternoon routine!

I have always been a routine girl, well since I became a full time at home mom, and my routines deffinlty got stronger as we had more kids. There is something about the afternoon that makes the day just go bye fast! I find that the afternoon is a very mixed time, between either getting the other chores done when the littles are napping, or maybe trying to put my feet up.

The afternoon is a time where if I blink my day is done and now im struggling. It is strange to know and see the effects of routines when I had slowed down on them.

I have been redoing my routines, these past weeks! I started with my morning routine, then afternoon, evening then the block system!

Did you catch the morning routine blog?

I will leave a link here if you did not catch it!

A GOOD DAY STARTS WITH A GOOD MORNING ROUTINE!

I find a morning routine is where I needed to start in trying to get my chaos under control! There was a big gap of summer break and the uncertanty of what was happening that made a lot of stress here!

Let me tell you a little bit about my house and why I am on board fully with routines, and why I love them and rely on them!

I am a stay at home mom of 4 kids! 11,9,3 1/2 and 1 1/2 year old! We have decided to keep the older kids home, to do schooling here.

There is just always someone needing something, telling on someone, crumbs EVERYWHERE, and just so much happening. I decided to go full force on routines a couple years ago, it was before we were expecting the 3rd, and now…. I love my routines and I tend to get a little ancy, little stressed and a little stretched when I don’t have my routines happening!

MY AFTERNOON ROUTINE

I try not to have as much on my list for the afternoon!

Well not as many but maybe bigger tasks. My afternoon runs me roughly from 12 to 5 lets say. There isn’t really to much of a time on this because naps are in the afternoon. I LOVE NAP TIME! Thought I should point that out lol.

My routine will be more of:

-lunch

-clean up

-wipe the kitchen

-dishes

-sweep

-kids down for nap

-zone cleaning or to finish a task (there is some stuff that is easier at nap)

-finish schooling

-kids have a afternoon (after school) routine

-prep supper

Then that will kinda be wrapping up the afternoon!

Like I said my afternoon does not include any new tasks. If I am looking to clean the van, or work downstairs ect. Thses are the tasks that can be easier at nap.

Just like in the morning routine, your routine might not look like anything of mine. You may not even have a afternoon routine. Maybe its just a afterschool routine, the routines are there if it is what YOUR house needs.

Do you have a afternoon routine?

What is your afternoon set for?

There is so many versions of a routine the sky is the limit! With a strong morning routine, I find that my afternoon is not as fast paste! With how the house is going with the schooling here I am finding it more important then ever to try to schedual my days to the fullest.

HOW TO CREATE THE ROUTINE

When I start sketching out my afternoon routine it can fall into place easier then the other routines I find as it is almost just the filler time.

I had made my morning routine, then when I did the afternoon, just as the others for about a week I do what I am doing and make a list of what was done in the afternoon. Then I would get a feel for what could or should be done.

With knowing what fits best into my afternoon routine then I could crop one out on paper! I find that a week is a good time frame for it, as a lot of stuff can come up in a week.

So if there is going to be a task that would work better another time, you will see it.

Make your schedual work with you, but be flexable enough to work with the schedual! Make sure you have your time frame out so you know what you are working with.

Don’t worry if your routine is not like other.

OTHERS ARE NOT YOU!

YOU ARE YOU!

YOUR ROUTINE IS YOURS!

Maybe your afternoon routine is to tidy up, nap, shower and get ready to go! Just make sure when you are making the routine you know the time frame to be working in, this is so you don’t over book yourself but, you still are getting what you need done!

More on that statement coming with the block system!

Go ahead and make sure you are following the blog! Follow with your email and get notifications on new blogs! I aim to upload a new one Mondays!

No matter on the type of routine that you are creating, it is set for what you will need to keep what you need done! does, whether its one of five of them.

Make sure you give the blog a thumbs up if you liked it! There is more coming out soon! Don’t forget to follow the blog, and go ahead and sign up with an email!

This will give you notices on when I upload new ones!

I aim for a new blog every week!
