Monthly Musings

 

Linking up with Holly and Patty.

1. Do you meal plan? Any family favourite recipes to share?

Yes, I get back into meal planning during the school year. You can check out my link to recipes I've shared here.  There is a random assortment of things we like to make. 

2. What are your back to school traditions?

We take a photo on the front steps, we walk to school with the boys, and make this meal. 

3. Where do you do your best shopping for kids clothes and supplies?

Usually The Gap, H&M or Old Navy for regular clothes. The Last Hunt for outerwear, and Sport Chek for shoes.  We get our school supplies at Staples. 

4. How do you transition your wardrobe to fall?

There is no formal transition other than adding a sweater or sweatshirt.  Usually around mid-October, early November, I will get the sweaters out of storage and put away the lighter dresses and tank tops. 

5. Any end of summer trips planned?

No, but we are looking forward to a possible fall trip.

6. Do schools in your area start before or after Labour Day?

After Labour Day, first day of school is Tuesday. 

7. What are your Labour Day plans?

No major plans, will probably go swimming, maybe golfing, maybe a bike ride.  Will try to take advantage of our last summer weekend by spending as much as we can outside. 

8. White after Labour Day? Yes or No?

I will wear white any time of the year.

9. Pumpkin Spice...as soon as it comes out or wait until real fall?

I usually only have one pumpkin spice latte and I will wait until the weather cools down, usually around mid-October.

10. Best life hacks for back to school.

I really don't have any.   The first week of school is always a bit hectic, it sort of sneaks up on me and I'm scrambling to get groceries.  This year we will not be travelling this weekend, so that will help and I can use the Saturday and Sunday to get ready.
