Now that it’s fall again, and the days of shorts and sandals are over, it’s time to get my sons back into their usual beloved sportier styles, and they love jeans. They are stylish and durable and amazingly comfortable, particularly the new knit jeans for kidsids that feel like your favorite pair of sweat pants. […]
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Campbell’s Soup Company . All opinions are 100% mine. Dad’s in charge, and the best times around here are when the boys and daddy get to have a fun evening alone together. The rules are different, it’s more fun and relaxed, and it gives […]
That soup looks and sounds amazing! I’ll have to check it out sometime!
What an awesome date night idea too! This looks soo yummy and hearty!
Great options for those busy weeknights where you don’t have time to cook that’s for sure. I am happy to say that my Dad was a great cook, some men can do more than boil water! 🙂
I just love hearty soups like this. Campbell’s is the only brand I ever buy!
Perfect choice for dad when mom has a school meeting to run too. This would be a hearty meal any night though!
That’s a winner if I ever saw one. I don’t think I’ve tried this flavor before, but that will most definitely change.
My kids used to really like Campbell’s Chunky soup. We always had some around in case I didn’t feel like cooking.
I love Cambells Chunky soup. I think Dad has the perfect guys night plan.
This sounds like a fun night! We love Campbells chunky soup.
I can eat soup all year round. I especially like the chunky soups, the best for the boys on dad’s night.
This looks and sounds like a very hearty meal. I know that my husband would love this after a hard day at work.
Love making the beef stew and mashed potatoes. So yummy.
What a great idea to put it over rice! A easy but hearty dinner for dad and the kids.
Wonderful presentation! Great dish and easy enough for any Dad to make!
Thanks to Ocean Spray for sponsoring this conversation to inspire parents to Master the Lunchbox So what’s in your kids’ lunchboxes? My sons started school last week and part of the back to school routine for parents is preparing a delicious, nutritious and fun lunch for kids every morning. Mornings are busy enough, so we […]
For my kids, variety is key. I need to constantly change it up for them.
You did such a great job on that lunch! I think it looks adorable.
This year we’ve been sending the kids in with a Bento-box style lunch. I find that they’ll eat a lot of little bits of food, rather than a lot of just one food type. It gives them a little bit of variety!
That is the cutest! I’ve got to do something like this for the kids.
I love those little cookie cutters! I need to get some for my girls!
My kids loved Craisins too. I still like using them in recipes and they’re great as snacks.
A good lunch is great. A fun lunch is even better.
This is such a cute little lunch! My kids always seemed to eat more when I got creative with it.
These ideas could not be cuter! My kids are a bit older but you’ve motivated me to do some cuter stuff with their lunches!
These are great ideas to add to our lunchbox packings! I love adding dried fruit options in there for snacking
Lunch boxes should always be fun! You want children to enjoy their food and look forward to what could be in the lunch box/bag for them.
So cute! I love making my kiddos lunches and making different things to put in there. I usually try to add more homemade than store bought. I love the cookie cutters. I NEED to go get new ones asap!
The markers are such a great tool! I try to make fun pictures, like your butterfly but the markers allow for the details. Super cute lunches!
Little cute smiley face. Craisins make me happy. 🙂
These are great lunchbox tips. This is the first year i do not have to make lunches. Both of my kids are in College this year and have meal plans. I used to love making fun lunches for them.
This year my husband and I really focused on being healthier while on the go, and part of that was healthy snacking that keeps us on track while tasting delicious and keeping us full. We stay in “the zone” on our busy days with ZonePerfect Perfectly Simple nutrition bars. They let us snack good, and […]
Oh those look so delicious! Especially the Almond Toffee Crunch ones!!
These look perfect when you want something a little sweet but don’t want to ruin your diet!
Oh my. I would go for any one of them, but surely the first I’d reach for is the roasted cashew and dark chocolate. Oh yum
I know I would enjoy the Bing Cherry & Almond flavor bars. They all look delicious!
The almond toffee crunch looks really really good. Toffee is my favorite candy, I’ll go looking for these.
Oatmeal chocolate chunk please!!!
I think my favorite flavor of ZonePerfect Perfectly Simple Bars would be the Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk.
The Bing Cherry and Almond looks wonderful! I love a healthy snack option:)
My favorite would be oatmeal chocolate chunk!
Roast cashews and dark chocolate looks yummy and no one would know that they were my “emergency chocolate” !
Oh I am so excited to see these are gluten free! I was diagnosed with Celiac about 9 years ago now. They are coming out with such great foods this past year! I cannot wait to try these! I would love to try the Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk first! Although…they all look so yummy!
Wow – they all look too good to be healthy!
The Bing Cherry and Almond bars looks SO good! I think I’ll definitely be trying them.
Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk sounds perfect to me 🙂 Especially on a day like today when I didn’t want to cook anything for breakfast :_
I would like to try the oatmeal chocolate chunk. THey look tasty!
Almond Toffee Crunch … would it not go well with hazelnut flavored coffee with vanilla almond milk?
You are making me hungry.I have to go and buy some thanks for sharing.
The Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk looks best but they all look wonderful!
Back to school time! The days are crazy busy, starting at 5 am every day and ending with us all finally, happily collapsing into our beds late every night. Somewhere along the way I drive a carpool for about 24 miles daily, create three yummy meals for three hungry men, make it on time to […]
We have spaghetti and meatballs at least once a week. It’s an easy dinner and everyone loves it in our house.
OOH, that meatball hero looks so delish. That would be a perfect quick weeknight meal for my family.
This is a great dinner idea. My kids would love it too so I will have to give it a try next week (the subs particularly).
All three of these look yummy. I am all about quick and easy meals especially on work nights.
That looks so good! I love cooking up frozen foods like this. It saves so much time.
The best part about those meatballs is what you just showcased. You can use them for all kinds of recipes.
Those Meatball kababs look so good and easy to make! I love quick, hearty meals!
These are all excellent ideas. A hearty meatball sub sounds fantastic and now that football is back, they would be perfect for game day too!
My daughter has been wanting meatball subs all week! These meatballs would make prep a lot easier.
What easy meals! I like to make sweet and sour meatballs in the crockpot.
These look amazing! Would be perfect for meatball subs! I’ll have to keep my eye out for these at the store.
I love meatballs. They are so versatile with the recipes you can do with them!
This looks so delicious. I love meatballs in menus.
Each idea looks fabulous. Great ideas and I am always in a hurry so these will be quick and easy.
I’m loving the kabob idea. That would be a really fun, quick meal in a pinch.
All of these recipes look SO yummy! And now I want a meatball sub!
Yum these look so amazing! My kids love meatball and subs so this would be so perfect to make!
My husband was just talking about meatball sandwiches. I’ve never tried this brand before. Might be worth testing. YUM!
I forget how versatile meatballs are for meals! I need to grab a bag for my family
I love all the cool looks Levi offers. They are a huge part of our wardrobe in this house!
I just bought myself some Levi’s jeans. They look great on me
These look so great on your kid! I’ll have to try these for mine- they go for comfort above all things.
I have always loved Levis. I wish my kiddos didn’t need to wear uniforms this year I’d have stocked up for sure.
Those jeans are sweet. Levis always has some great styles, even for kids!
What handsome little men you have! I am loving the cooling weather, and the promise that fall is around the corner. We will all be wearing our Levis.
These are the cutest! My kids always grew out of their Levis long before they wore out. Love that they are still around and have kids styles too.
I have two daughters that will ONLY wear jeans… and thankfully Levi’s fit them because I like the style. Plus they really hold up well.
He looks so stylish in his Levis! Levis does make such fabulous, high quality jeans, we always buy some in our back to school shopping.
