School is already back in session here, and parents everywhere have been busy adjusting to new schedules, figuring out how to fit in those extracurricular activities, and relearning how to balance the busyness of home and school life while keeping it all together simultaneously. I’ve always loved the back to school season, but it can certainly make you feel like you’re living in a whirlwind during that first month.

When a new schedule is thrown my way, I always find that it helps to have a few go-to recipes in my super-mom arsenal that are balanced, kid friendly, easy to throw together, and can be eaten on the go (in case we’re running behind for something…which we usually are!)

The Halloween season is just a scare away, and I’ve already been plundering through the seasonal aisle at the big box stores checking out all of the new trends that will be frighteningly fun and fabulous this year! I recently made a post about Fall Farmhouse Pillows on a Budget – and in that post I talked about how decorating with cushion covers is one of my favorite ways to spiffy up a room because it’s so effortless. All you have to do is keep the insert and change out the cover each time the season rolls around and BOOm! No hocus pocus or magic spells required to make your home decor look festive!

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cooked Perfect® Meatballs for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

I love back-to-school season. I absolutely adore watching my social media feeds fill up with adorable photos of kids attending their first day of class, the sales in retail and grocery stores are always out of this world, and I get so excited to fill out my calendar with exciting events that are happening at the local school here in my community.

Because it’s typically a busier time than usual, a lot of parents are scrambling to find the time to attend all of the extracurricular activities their kids are involved in while also finding the time to make sure the family is fed a decent meal during those busy weeknights. The weeknight dinner struggle can be real sometimes, you guys!

Does it seem like 2017 is flying by crazy fast to anyone else? I’m still in shock that school is about to start in just a few days. Even though it’s going to be hot and humid here in south Alabama for at least 2 1/2 more months, my mind is already starting to switch gears and get into Fall-frenzy mode!

The Cutest “1st Day of School” Outfits for Girls on Amazon!

Will you be doing a little back to school shopping for a little girl this school year? If so, Amazon has some stinkin’ adorable school outfits at killer prices! I’ve always been about big bows, ruffle pants and applique shirts…so if that fits your style, you’re in the right place! Most of these are listed under $25, but often the pricing depends on the size you’re purchasing. Most of these boutique style outfits retail for much more than that in stores, so these are some great deals in my opinion!
