BUSY DAY IN THE LIFE // MEAL + GROCERY PLAN WITH ME // BACK TO SCHOOL ORGANIZATION // NEW RECIPE!

[@candykane2videos]

As a retired teacher and the mom of three grown sons, have breakfast , supplies, and clothing ready EVERY night before bed. Take phones up at bedtime and put them in a charging station in your room. Check and double check every morning to make sure they have everything they need. Also, have them make their beds before leaving. They will already have successfully completed a task they can take pride in before they are at school.

[@MomNTraining]

I do most of this but I’ve never worried about their beds being made. I am 100% going to start making that a part of our morning now. I love that. It will also be a more relaxing room for them when they get home!

[@ElizabethClary1]

SO fun! I love back to school time and I LOVE school supplies. Anyone else?

[@theresawilloughby9884]

Lauren it is amazing all the stuff you do with 4 Kids, a Husband and a Job and after school Activities for your Children Etc... Etc... no wonder your so nice and trim. I hope your Family appreciates all that you do.

[@sennalisnet7681]

As a teacher I want to give you a huge thank you! You are one of those super moms that gets everything we ask and some more and believe me we really appreciate everything you do and the work you put in to those bags. Believe me so now and then we feel very guilty because it is a lot but this way we make sure we can give your kids the best education thank you so much!!!!

[@ksl2634]

I genuinely like when you share your meal plans and recipes (including mini video clips). As an RN it's easier for me to lay everything out ahead too. But I'm terrible at trying new things. You sharing recipes has helped me branch out on trying new things here-there. 😊

[@galabeals3587]

Me too, I am much better trying spices from watching Lauren’s videos. Love her.💖

[@LaurenNicholsen]

Thank you so much!!!

[@kathytappero7179]

As a retired elementary teacher I say YAY🎉 to mom’s like you!

[@madmomma5331]

I love how you just can't resist talking to your pets anytime you see or hear them!

[@galabeals3587]

I think from being a Mom and an educator the best thing I learned to do is have extra. Poster boards, pencils, pens, colors, scissors, notebooks, binders, etc. definitely lessons the late night Walmart runs or early morning stops. Love you Lauren.

[@annelifranzen3943]

Wow..when my kids were small, now they 're adults, all they needed for school was clothes for sport and a backpack 😊

[@cdani9972]

The chickens are doing their job!!! Loving the new fridge situation. Totally doing the chicken gyros. YUMMY!!!

[@MomJeansReads]

I love our school gets supplies with our tuition. 🎉

[@joannemaher8061]

Yet again…another great video!!☺️💕👏🙏

[@tehere86]

Your meal prepping and fridge organization is sooooo inspiring 😍

[@NasSolo]

It's great chicken with salad with out butter also Yammy👍👍👏👏👏👏

[@debbiemccann3711]

Always enjoy when you share your recipes.

[@maddyyberr]

I’m obsessed with you! Thank you for sharing your home with us

[@louisechartrand5672]

Great video. Love watching all your back to school videos. A quick tip for cutting cherry tomatoes use 2 deli lids place tomatoes on one & cover with the other. Then slice through the two with a serrated knife. All cut at once

[@veronicasanchez7173]

Thanks for being unique and sharing the way you do things in your home. It’s inspiring.

[@janemccowan2655]

As a former teacher, I always liked when kids had their names on all items and had glue sticks and things out of their packages. It made it faster to put things away in the classroom. As a mom I always bought extra school supplies, and gave them as Christmas presents because they are on sale now. They start to run out of things at school around the first of the year.

[@lauralinton3362]

We are so blessed ,a school bag and a pencil case that's its ,school provides the rest

[@patriciacaughey5122]

Lauren, you are so organized and you give such great tips. It was fun seeing you sort your children's school supplies and watching you meal prep and cook. Thank you.

[@victoriamack4792]

Tried the recipe and Lauren you are a great cook. Could not believe the flavor with all those spices, genius.way to go. Recipe book needed

[@jacquelines7071]

your parents were are the mot wonderful people the way you take care of your home and family itbshows throughout cuz i love to let your vids run i like your voice too! keep going!

[@jacquelines7071]

a kind hello to your folks!

[@genniejefferson6588]

I love your refrigerator organization. One of my favorite is your meals you cook. Very lovely home, love your videos. You’re very organized.

[@TheChickwithguns]

I appreciate your respect for teachers. I taught Latin for a decade before I homeschooled my kids and stayed home for them. Teaching is a difficult job, if you’re doing it right. I wish all parents cared about what teachers have to do. We did the haul recently and bought the literature list for each kid. We live in a small town, so we had to travel an hour to a worthwhile store for supplies.😄 I am renovating our kitchen and preparing for my youngest daughter’s birthday party. When the dust clears, I am going to hunt down fridge organizing bins. I like your idea putting basics for meals together in a bin.

[@chelseawigton4115]

Naans!! Love love love i make a warm cheesy spinach and artichoke dip, I use the naan Flatbread with olive oil garlic pepper and shredded parm on my pizza stone in oven to serve with it. And then the little mini naan circles I make the kids mini pizzas with they're a staple in my house! Never tried wheat Flatbreads.. I need to start attempting healthier options for my family, luckily wr don't struggle with weight but with winter coming we won't be taking walks after dinner anymore

[@juliekalivoda484]

Amazing video and amazing you! Chicken gyros sound delicious! Love ya🤗😘❤️

[@stephanieschwartz3045]

I really like the little small bins you put the garlic in can you link that please and thank you I really enjoy your video so much I find them encouraging and uplifting.

[@devkanyarck]

i love it when you show these life situations and how you deal with them. Can i just say your new year goal setting organizer has been an absolute life saver. I followed that and put the goals down in my bullet journal while adding some measures to be taken each month, and it has given me so much motivation and clarity in my life. And i have read many goal setting books but this finally worked for me. I can use the method life long.Thank you so much. 🙏🏼

[@LaurenNicholsen]

That is amazing!!! I am so happy you are enjoying it!! 💕💕💕💕

[@laurenclark5734]

Your recipes looks so delicious. All of them! I think I will downsize them and make them for myself. Great video

[@christinerush950]

Hi Lauren! I love seeing your new meal planning/refrigerator plan in action. Would you be willing to show us at the end of the week how much of the prepped food you used and how much is leftover?? Thank you so much for all of your inspiration!!!

[@sznnsmthjj]

Love you Lauren! Your videos are so unique. I just love your home and your style! I’m so excited for your Fall videos!

[@jenniferbaker3678]

Was so excited to see you uploaded today. I needed it. You make me smile 🤍

[@maliayah8630]

Nana bread is so delicious 🤤

[@rachelkivarkis1801]

Sweetheart Lauren, what a beautiful and caring mom, you r. U took me back in time, to when my kids were little, and how fun it was, to go shopping for school supplies. Now, I am a grandmother, and my kids have to get ready, with supplies, for their own kids. Thanks for sharing. I can’t tell u, how I can smell the aroma of ur cooking, for the spices u use. The chicken, gyro sandwich, absolutely delicious, and next time, I will try the naans bread. U prepared it so deliciously. Thanks again. 🙏🥰👍💤🌟❤️⭐️✝️🌺🌹

[@marigoldsky3799]

The baby chicks are growing so fast!! Love your content and recipe ideas 🌞🌞

[@savannaskiles6203]

I am so glad you are back! You inspire me!

[@dadua15]

I tried this recipe and it was amazing!!!! Will try it again for sure

[@martivasiliades8407]

You truly are the “Queen of Organization” !! Love it 🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@LuckyLJ26]

I just found your channel and it’s so refreshing and fun loving 🥰 lots of good ideas. My new fav 🥰🥰🥰subscribed

[@solangeriley3782]

OMG! you are a superwomen, I love watching you, you make everything so easy.

[@DominiqueKStrom]

In your BTS video, I'd love a revisit of your planning system and how you do it with sports, activities, etc. As our kids get older we're definitely feeling the effects of time commitments and love any inspiration from other working parents! My oldest is going into 1st grade, so not a lot in way of traditions yet - but we do schedule a manicure the night before school and always do haircuts.

[@Yellowlouise87]

I’m loving all of these uploads! I’m sure you’re super busy so i appreciate you sharing so much with us!!💗

[@chrissysvideos]

Love your back to school bags, and the meal looks so yummy! Also like how your organize the kids schools supplies 👍🏻🤗

[@carriem4719]

You inspired me to organize my fridge. It’s so much better. You always inspire 🤩

[@chelseareviews300]

For me the thing that makes me feel the most prepared and grounded is to fill out my calendar for the first couple of months as well as organize and re-stock their homework station. One tradition I have is buying special “fall” (Halloween) Jammie’s that I give my kids the last weekend in august when we decorate our home for fall. My boys are in pre-school and 2nd grade. They love it.

[@becomingelliekathryn6000]

Omg I love the fall jammies idea!!

[@taradc6037]

I’m totally with you on the kitchen needing to be clean first before cooking! Mentally I just cannot function if the kitchen is cluttered.. starting off with a clean kitchen plus some music playing is how I need to start the cooking process.. there’s no other way 😂❤️

[@louisechartrand5672]

Great video once again. I love back to school prep. As a mom of 4 boys I am a huge fan of Mabel's Labels for labeling all their clothes, supplies, shoes & bags 🎒 even water bottles & lunch box. I too love a good bento box. My favorite are the easylunchboxes. I love adding lunch notes 📝 & I keep lunch a surprise. They never know what they are getting. Obviously I choose according to their likes but that's easy cause they eat almost everything 😅 Thanks for the inspiration! I love your longer videos

[@lisawaddington9880]

Those gyros! I think adding some crumbled feta would be amazing! 😋

[@jpalms7163]

Love this recipe is different but no fuss, all items in my grocery pick up list For dinner tomorrow!!!! 💥

[@lydiahernandez4254]

I just love the way that you meal prep!👍

[@franceskloos1297]

Love this video!!! Love the back to school bags and the meal planning and the cooking, you are very inspiring, I just love your videos!!!

[@preetypatel3152]

Loved your video, perfect 👍🏻

[@anissaapolinario]

I have been watching your back to school organization from last year occasionally so this video is a treat! Really enjoy looking at school supply hauls. Thanks, Lauren!

[@ananadine354]

Best channel on KZbin! Thanks for your hard work!

[@Alicia-K]

My husband saw your video over my shoulder and he said, “She has thousands of followers for cooking and cleaning?” LOl I think he wants me to start recording 😂 I feel totally content and happy and inspired watching you do it! I love how inspirational you are!

[@sylwiataskar8551]

Thanks for sharing another wonderful video. ❤️

How nice that you have in your kitchen a poster from the Ramos Pinto vineyards here in Portugal 😍 great wines! Love your refrigerator organizing method, I will follow some of your tips 👍

[@kimlybinkerd4255]

Yha!! So excited for this!! Absolutely love your Chanel

[@cyndilu61]

,looks really good thanks for sharing have a great day

[@bonecrusher9745]

You are so amazing. Do you stock up on water? Can you possibly do some in store grocery shopping videos? I think it would be awesome if you could show how you do your full shopping trip

[@joanndelise7292]

Its so helpful to be organized with the kids and meals. I keep saying I will plan meals for the week and don't do it but it makes life easier. That recipe looks so good and delicious, I've never had that dish. I'm enjoying the summer because where I live its cold for months. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed week.

[@mshockey73]

LOVE the way you've organized the new refrigerators!! The recipe at the end looks so good. I have to give that one a try:))

[@ClaudiaGilmanMais]

Hi! I'm new here and absolutely LOVE your channel!!!!! I've been going back to watch your older vlogs. Have a great weekend!!

[@elenasoto5026]

Hello love your videos and also your chickens 😉🤗

[@debbielenoir5472]

I absolutely love your new refrigerator and the way you organized it! I believe my refrigerator is the same size with the exception of the height. I cannot use that many organizers in mine (Samsung).

[@judydahl8297]

Great job of organizing. You are right, as the children get older they need less school supplies. Today I helped my sister move some boxes and things to her new apartment. She and her husband sold their big home. It is sad to see the house go but it is time for a change. It is hard to believe it is almost back to school time. This summer moved by so fast!

[@Iamhome365]

Love seeing grocery hauls and seeing the delicious meals you'll make !

[@wendymyers1925]

I enjoy all your video's. I think I've been watching for 2 years. So, I'm an old Mom. My daughter is almost 25 yrs. I was not brave enough for more than 1 child. But I always watched for sales and at the office supply stores and bought extra of what she needed. When she was in Jr High, she could get whatever she needed. I just kept everything in a cabinet, and she could just help herself. When she was younger, I would help her get whatever she needed. If I didn't have what she would need we would go and get it. That's my only tip. Your awesome keep making your video's, please.

[@dianeemerson2649]

You are Queen of Organization! I clicked on your chicken gyros recipe and saved it to my Pinterest board. And while I was there I saved all your other recipes on Pinterest. I couldn’t believe I hadn’t subscribed to your blog - but I am now!

[@loramiller5356]

Building the meal in the plastic containers in the frig is perfect. Love the kids school supply bags. The Chicken Gyros look really good. Thank you for putting the recipe on your website. Have a great day.

[@Demon_slayer255]

Can you do a video on how you organized fridge looks great 👍

[@annagerblick6097]

Loved all of the video I'm getting bags for the school supply! Also never thought of Naan bread substitute for pita perfect!

[@cecilia_cherieblossom]

It looks so good !

[@tamiperkins-trickett2794]

Perfect timing! Ready for this!!!

[@lorislater1450]

I love your positive attitude and the way you show your support for teachers. Many children hear only negative things from parents about school- too expensive, teachers expect too much, etc. It’s hard to expect students to be respectful when they only see and hear disrespect at home.

[@susanbarnard4098]

Love how you do the supplies. I would have loved to do it like that when my kids were young but I didn’t have that much money

[@conniesanelli8816]

That looks delicious will be making it thank you for sharing 👍🙂♥️

[@aliciamitchell2927]

I make vegetarian gyros all the time! Toss chickpeas with olive oil and spices and pop 'em in oven. Assemble the same way. Soooooo good!

[@debbiemelendez3300]

Hi Lauren, Just watched your video and I already got my daughters school supplies. I took my daughter to her school this week and the seniors were taking their graduation pictures in their cap and gown, I had a few tears seeing her in her cap and gown! Thankyou for the very helpful videos!!

[@debbiemelendez3300]

My daughter is a senior this year also . It's going to be a very busy year! I love how Lauren shows getting organized for a new school year. Last week the seniors had their graduation pictures taken. Hope all goes well for you this year!

Hi Laura Hey thank you for sharing your recipes and your organized ideas I really appreciate it that is so good To know all the great ideas and the info you gave us

[@a2clanderos]

Hi Lauren, I just saw your meal prep & fridge organization and it's looks so nice and great, I'd love to keep my fridge like that. However, I don't see any space where to put any meal leftovers or other liquid bottles and containers?... Do you have a separate fridge where all that is kept? But gotta say, do like your organization process. Thanks for sharing 🙂

[@krystel_fitness]

Thanks for the organization inspo! P.S. can you please link the clear bin that has the divider? I didn't see this linked in your description box...😧

[@kdeleon401]

Do you use a separate planner for food/school? I have a regular planner and what I have for the day but don't incorporate meal planner there (tend to have a mental game plan). Work this year due to a merger will be CRAZIER so looking for planning ahead ideas !

[@marys.4588]

A bit of advice…I used to stock up on school supplies when the great sales were on before school started, that way when we ran out mid year, we could just go to the supply cabinet and grab what we needed instead of going out and paying full price mid year.

[@cakes2785]

Lovely video!
