It’s that time again—back to school. 😅 Lunchboxes are flying, fees are due, practice schedules are in full swing, to-do lists are piling up, and the dreaded “What’s for dinner?” question starts creeping in around 3:00 p.m.

Here’s the weekly system that works for my family, plus grocery hacks and how I keep our kitchen organized with a simple prep zone that saves my sanity.

Summer travel — we love it, we dread it, we overpack for it every single time. Between the frantic packing, last-minute Target runs, and the inevitable 'Did I leave the stove on?' moment halfway to the airport, it’s no wonder a vacation sometimes needs… a vacation.

Lucky for you, we’ve got our tried-and-true tricks (and favorite links) to make the whole adventure a lot smoother…spiders in the luggage not included. So grab your packing list, your favorite snacks, and that random thing you swear you’ll need but never actually do (we see you, travel yoga mat). Let’s get you packed, prepped, and ready to roll — stress-free(ish)!
