Space Saving Ideas for Kids Room When baby boy ar Space Saving Ideas for Kids Room

When baby boy arrived I knew bunk beds would be a great option. When he’s a little older, both boys will share the room. I’ve simplified their room and found ways to save space so it doesn’t look cluttered. I use under bed storage bins for toys and extra blankets. The 6 tier rolling cart is perfect for papers and art supplies. We limit toys in this house so this medium size basket is perfect. Also love adding these bins on the self for small toys.

We’re soaking up the last bits of summer break. Our summer was filled with pool days, water parks, popsicles and riding our bikes outside in the sun. We made so many memories this summer. I’ll miss the relaxing days and staying up late. Our school year starts on Monday and I’m excited to get back into our routine. 

Cheers to all the memories we made this summer!

Here’s a simple summer treat recipe and activity inspired by @motherscookiesus Sparkling Strawberry Mythical Creatures Cookies. These strawberry parfaits were delicious and topped with our favorite strawberry-flavored red and lavender frosted cookies! Then we took our strawberry treats outside and the kids painted strawberries on their new clay pots. 🍓☀️

I love the flexibility of being able to homeschool in different places. Usually 2-3 times per week we are homeschooling at the library, museums, and with a co-op! So that’s means I need the school supplies packed and ready to go. I’ve had Lands End backpacks and lunch bags for my kids for several years. The quality is 10/10! Also excited for my son to use the his new Blue Sky academic planner that’s specifically for elementary age kids.

Meatless Meal Ideas for Kids with Plantivore™

This post is sponsored by Plantivore™. All thoughts and opinions are my own

I’m a mom of two that loves quick and easy meals for my kids. My daughter is in virtual school from home and my son goes to a preschool, so my days are very busy. I’m always on the search for meal options that are healthy yet also quick and easy to prepare. My kids are both very picky eaters so it can be a little difficult to find new meals that they enjoy. I have been implementing plant-focused meals for myself for several years now and I love it. Recently, I decided I wanted to start making more plant-focused meals for my kids. My kids love burritos and wraps so I felt like they would love the new Plantivore burrito wraps available at Publix. After their first bite, they loved it! I was happy that I finally found a meat-free option for my kids that they love. I paired the burritos with chips and carrots on the side. Below I’ll share some more meal ideas with the Plantivore burritos. 

Plantivore at Publix

Plantivore is available at Publix in the frozen food aisle. There are two different options: Plant-Based Chick’n Rice & Monterey Jack Cheese and Plant-Based Stea’k Rice & Cheese Burrito. Plantivore burritos wrap up REAL Monterey Jack cheese, fire-roasted tomatillos, and a hint of lime juice with their signature plant-based meat These burritos are a quick and easy meal option. You can microwave the frozen burritos for about 1 minute and 40 seconds or you can heat them in the oven for about 15 minutes. Typically, on the weekends I’ll give my kids these Plantivore burritos for lunch or a quick snack. The burritos are a good size, so I’ll cut the burrito in half and give one piece to my daughter and one to my son. These Plantivore burritos seem to fill my kids up and they’re not asking for more food after. My daughter does virtual school from home, so I love that I can put these burritos in the microwave and she can have a hot meal ready in less than 2 minutes. It’s been really convenient to finally find a vegetarian meal that I love as well as my kids.

Reasons Why I Love Plantivore

  1. Plantivore products are vegetarian
  2. My kids love Plantivore
  3. 100% Tasty. 0% Meat
  4. 12g of protein per serving
  5. Quick and easy meal option for kids 
  6. Can heat in the microwave or the oven
  7. Two different flavor options
  8. Plant-based meat alternatives
  9. Available at Publix 

As I mentioned above, my kids are very picky eaters and they tend to stick to eating the same foods. So, I typically like to create a menu of different meal options that I know they will love. If you have kids that are also picky eaters, I suggest you create a list of similar food variations that they love and you can rotate the meals weekly. Then you can gradually start introducing new side dishes into their meals. Here are 3 different meal options to pair with the Plantivore burritos. 

Plantivore Meal Ideas

Option 1:

Plant-Based Chick’n Rice & Monterey Jack Cheese

Chips

Chopped Carrots and Celery

Ranch Dressing

Option 2: 

Plant-Based Stea’k Rice & Cheese

Black Beans

Chips and salsa

Option 3:

Plant-Based Chick’n Rice & Monterey Jack Cheese

Corn

Chips and Guacamole


In conclusion, the next time you’re at Publix be sure to pick up some of the Plantivore burritos for yourself and/or your kids! Also, be sure to check out my blog post on Back to School Cleaning
