Tis the busy season at our household. The kids are on four softball teams, one theater program, and we just got braces. It’s been a wildw ride so far, and we’re just 2 weeks in to the 2 month gig.

Started out strong with a super mom move (this will NOT last BTW, but im trying to avoid eating out $$$) – tailgating dinner.

It was one of those nights we had to go straight to softball after school, plus another kid had to be picked up in the middle of the game. So basically after bringing the kids to school in the morning, we wouldnt be getting home until 8pm. Rinse, wash, repeat tomorrow.

Also there 1. Isn’t much time to grab dinner. And 2. I’m making a mindful effort this year to reserve eating out for special occasions – not crunch time moments. It will be better for our health, less snacking, and hopefully save un poco dinero.

This may never happen again… so i snagged a few photos of the taco rice bowl dinner – and how I piled it up in the back of our minivan.

But seriously, parents should start organizing potluck dinners to survive this season.

I think the only reason I had time/motivation was because I was at home with my 8 year old for the day. She was on concussion protocol rest – no screens, no hard school work, no big physical activity. So she and I also baked PB M&M cookies – and there was enough to share with the team at the end of the game.
