Monthy Musings August 2024: Summer's End/Back to School



 


Hey there Besties! August is winding down and so is summer. For Monthly Musings, Holly and I wanted to celebrate the end of summer and share the Best tips for back to school. Join us and the talented group of writers who link up with us every month for Monthly Musings. 

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

I have always meal planned. I am not one of those people who can walk in the door after commuting from downtown (every day!) and figure out what to make for dinner. Even though it is just two of us in the house, I am still meal planning. I also think it helps with grocery shopping and cuts down on food waste. 

My taco meatballs can literally be on the table in less than 30 minutes and are something I have been making at least twice per month for years!

The parmesan chicken tenders are also super easy to make and give a healthier twist on a chicken nugget. Maybe I will make these next week!

Wow August! What a month. So much happened this month and so much has changed in the Good Better Best household since August 1st. To recap the month, I am linking up with Shay and Shaeffer for What's Up Wednesday. Are you ready? Let's do this!

What We're Eating This Week

Friday-Some type of take-out after his and hers acupuncture

What I'm Reminiscing About

With Hockey Guy leaving for college, I am reminiscing about all of the back-to-school years. Here he is on his first day of kindergarten.




I have also been thinking about this time last year when he was starting senior year and we had no idea what the year would hold for him. Where he is currently going to school wasn't even on the radar screen this time last year and it is looking like the perfect fit.

I have never been a "time slow down" person. I want him to move through his life exactly like he should.

Hello Monday-August 26, 2024: August Monthly Musings Topics

 








Wow Besties, we are at the last Monday of August. I am linking up with Holly and Sarah today for Hello Monday to share our topics for Monthly Musings coming up on Thursday. 


This week is basically the last unofficial week of summer. There is definitely a change in the air weather-wise this week. The humidity is lower, the days are warm, the evenings are cool and a few evenings have been so delightful that we have even slept with the window open a few nights.  With the change in the air and schools going back into session, Holly and I are focusing on Summer's End/Back to School for August Monthly Musings.


If you want to join us for Monthly Musings, grab our graphic above, link back to Holly and me and share your thoughts about Summer's End/Back to School. I love reading all of the posts of the talented group of writers who join us every month. 


I'll be back on Wednesday for What's Up Wednesday and then again on Thursday for Monthly Musings. See you then!
