When I make lunches in the mornings… these two are always waiting for me to drop something 😂🤣

Hi all!!! Sorry I dropped off the radar! I took some time off from social media and some time for family time… I’m going to try this all again, but bear with me as I tip toe into it! Let me know if there’s something you want to see from me!
We are starting to get ready for school to start around here!! I’m taking the time to get myself back into the school rhythm of things! Yesterday I made a batch of pumpkin chocolate chip bread for breakfast this week, and this morning I got up early (need to “coach” one of my girls to get up earlier this year to get the bus) and I made lunches for all the kids!

Today I’ll be prepping:
