The Weekly Recap:
Hello Fresh
We decided to try the Hello Fresh meal delivery service for the first time ever. I’m back to working full-time in my classroom again, and with all the demands on my time and energy that is taking, plus keeping my blog running, I am hoping Hello Fresh will lend a temporary helping hand.
We’ve only tried two meals so far, and we liked them both. Once we’ve tried a few more, I’m hoping to do a review for you. But if you’re also needing a little help in the kitchen right now, I’d love to share a code with you that will get you $40 off! Just follow this link to check it out. ❤️
Here are the first two meals we’ve tried. Both were delcious, and simple to put together, with little mess to clean up.
Firecracker Meatballs Crispy Cheddar Chicken
Sweet Husband Award:
My husband has been extra sweet this week, knowing the stress that getting back to school is causing. The anxiety is intense. There’s all the normal things that need to be done for back-to-school prep, plus so much energy and thought is going into figuring out how to keep everyone (students, staff, families, and myself) safe. I’ve never been put in a more impossible stuation in my life. 😞
Thank goodness for a sweet husband who does whatever he can to ease the burden. From “just because” flowers, to an incredible surprise dinner that he prepared himself… the man is a keeper.

Faux Tartan Plaid Ball Mason Jar Thermos
Fresh Vintage by Lisa S shared this adorable mason jar that she painted to look like a vintage camping thermos! I love all things vintage, so this caught my eye right away.

Thanks for hosting! So glad that I found your blog/party! Have a good week–I’m a nurse and I worked in the public schools for a few years–I can imagine how stressful this is for teachers, admin, staff, kids, and families!

“Just because” flowers ~ so sweet! I’m sharing #12, Frugal Fall Mantel. Hope you have a great week!
The man can cook! The dinner he made for you, Niky, looks very impressive. Thanks for hosting and I hope this next week back in the classroom goes well.
Yes, he can cook! He made dinner for me on our 4th date, and it was impressive. He still comes up with some pretty great meals! I’m truly blessed!
Thanks for the well-wishes for this first week back with students.
