GOING BACK TO WORK: TIPS FOR WORKING MOMS TO SAVE TIME

[@inspiteofbecauseof4745]

Simplicity equals Sanity! I too, am a teacher with a son and 2 daughters close in age. Streamlining EVERYTHING is key. From meals, laundry, getting ready, cleaning, work etc.

[@robertj.fuller8597]

Your School District is lucky to have you and your husband as teachers.

[@augustusgregory1748]

You probably dont give a shit but if you're bored like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all the new series on InstaFlixxer. Been watching with my brother these days =)

[@dustindario4569]

@Augustus Gregory definitely, been using instaflixxer for months myself =)

[@priscillabohn4621]

I applaud you for being a working mom of 3 little ones. I didn't start teaching until I was 33 when my youngest was 8 yrs old I am now 60 and this is my last full year of Teaching. I started 3 weeks ago on line only, but we have to go to an empty school. I love your idea of simplicity. It's hard when you are older and go to work and come home Thank You for your channel even I am learning new tricks this is even great for us empty nesters

[@agonza4381]

After homeschooling my 2nd grader last spring, I just want to tell you how completely appreciative I am for you guys in the education field!! Thanks Abby, as a working mom I too find it sometimes hard to balance it all.

[@thesimplifiedsaver]

Thank you! I love the job! The kids are the best part 😉

[@bethanymartin16]

Fellow teacher & Mom here! Your videos and meals have been a help recently! Your teriyaki meatball meal prep is a new favorite for my husband 😂 I’d love to see some a day in the life type of video as a working mom specifically as a teacher. We have VERY early mornings and long tiring days. Thank you for your great videos!!!

[@HazelHammond1505]

Yep I'm one that watches everything. I love seeing the kido's and You . you are amazing lady.keep up the good work and stay safe

[@shawnetterobinson6859]

I really like this channel. Thanks for the updates. This is basically my soap opera twice a week. I watch while working. 🙂

[@WilletteB]

I just ordered the hair dryer because I'm so tired of having frizzy hair. I hope the purchase helps you in some way. That salad looks amazing. With a serving of rice, sour cream, fiesta cheese and salsa, you have Burrito Bowls. That's one of our favorite meals. Hope your school year is happy and productive. Blessings! 💕

[@laurab1953]

My husband and I both work in the schools too. Love your positive KZbin channel. Can always look forward to great content from you.

[@Zenbia42]

Girl you never boring! Love your videos. Also your insta stories. Your family is so precious.

[@thesimplifiedsaver]

Thank you ❤️

[@bonniepwtf]

It was very interesting. Bravo to you, I don't know how you do it all. You should be very proud of yourself.

[@Berries_xo]

I agree I have a 5 year old and a 3 week old and I’m struggling 🥴

[@bonniepwtf]

@@Berries_xo Hoping it will get better for you soon. It's hard, just try to take it one day at a time.

[@Kimberley_Black_White_TV]

I honestly don't know how you do it all! Godspeed! You are a wonderful mom, homemaker, wife, teacher, etc! xo 💜☮

[@chophappy]

Loved watching this video! These are such great tips for anyone who is going back to work!

[@9001012]

Abby, I applaud you for all of your enthusiasm and efforts. I have followed from the beginning of your channel and think you are AMAZING and UNIQUE (not too much editing which is great). I have not commented (don't think ..) QUICHE was my go to many times for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner (not in one day of course), so yummy, easy, versatile and my kids loved it with a salad or soup. Thanks for turning on to ALDI !!

[@jessicaallen7176]

LOVE your videos. Starting a 3-11 shift this week, and cooking is not exactly my strong spot, so I'm gonna have to go back and watch ALL your crockpot meals and make me an "Abby Crockpot" cookbook. :)

[@Jessalyn032]

Hi!! I started back this week... in-person, no students yet. I'm exhausted. Thanks for this video!!

[@kkcm53]

Y'all are Amazing! So glad you are teachers!❤❤❤❤❤

[@laciehickman]

My husband is a teacher and I stay home with our toddler... I’m literally terrified for him to go back to work this week 😅😂 I’ve been spoiled by him being home for like 6 months too lol

[@jackiesmith1542]

I would love to see some Weight Watcher friendly crock pot meals!

[@thevikmanstorpkitchen.403]

Im a teacher assistent/ pupil assistent here in sweden and we get free lunches if we eat together with the kids. We have a thing here called fritids. Its for kids with parents who starts working really early to very late. They gets breakfast in our schools around 7.30 schools starts at 8.15 and ends around 13-14 in 0-3 grade.6-9 year olds. And a extra meal at 14.30. Its often a sandwish fruit and milk or water. The fritids is open for 6-8.15 aand then 13.00-18.00. Do you have that in the US? Love Lisa♥️

[@CandleTusk]

That's very nice that some teachers/staff eat with the kids! I'm from Florida, and we have breakfast as well. A few schools where I'm from offer the later meal (supper) for children whose parents work late/need it.

[@lsnider59]

I am also headed back to full time in the office of the University I work at on Monday. thank you for wearing a mask! I do the meal prepping on Sunday also, the first two weeks I am doing lunchables because they were $1 each and a crockpot meal to have leftovers on Monday. I am the caregiver to dad, so I need to make sure he has supper to eat before I get off and I have been doing a breakfast for dinner at least once a week.

[@bookwyrmn]

Hi! Your videos have been helping me get ready to student teach this fall. There are likely to be a lot of changes and having to be flexible, but getting my toddler and dog and I in simple routines so we are out the door on time, so we have good food (and not blow the budget), etc I've realized has already put me at ease to face the rest. Thanks for your help with that!

[@wearethereeves8685]

Can you do a video about teaching? Like tips, grade you teach, teacher hacks, organization etc.?

[@kaylataylor6954]

We are both teachers too! I’m also due the first week of school 🤦🏼‍♀️. Thank you for all the ideas, to say we are stressed is an understatement!

[@thesimplifiedsaver]

Hang in there girl❤️congrats!

[@rudiannwildgoose-laing4629]

Thanks for sharing. May God continue to bless you and your family.😊

[@PenelopePeppers]

That's Cool you are a Teacher and your Husband is too :) Thank You for taking the time to put out these videos.....I really enjoy them !!

[@thesimplifiedsaver]

You are so welcome!

[@glboo1]

Thanks to all of the teachers and thanks for your channel Abby!! Be safe

[@marthachamness9033]

Good luck this year, Abby!

[@Travelbug71]

Target has super cute masks. I am a teacher in California. We are distance learning until at least January. I am happy that I have that extra time to fit into my clothes. Quarantine did nothing positive for my waistline.

[@laurengreen9279]

I loved this video! Being intentional about meal planning has been something that’s really helped my mind the last few weeks. I have a notepad on our fridge with our meals for the week and we cross them off as we make them! I’ve always wanted to try one of the hair dryer brush things but it’s been so hot I haven’t wanted to use anyyyy heat on my hair. Wishing you well as you and your hubby go back to school!

[@michelleanguiano4970]

I loved this video Abby! Honestly I love all of your videos. Bless your heart for being a teacher. Doing home school for the last part of the school year was a nightmare lol! You teachers definitely do not get enough credit or gifts for that matter. Thank you for the time you take to help. Sending Anguiano love ♥️ always!!!!!

[@thesimplifiedsaver]

Thank you❤️❤️

[@reginab6011]

Thank You for keeping things positive and not bringing up politics! We all need a break from it sometimes.

[@thesimplifiedsaver]

I agree! That’s not why I get on social media so I figured most people were the same!

[@lacymoore8809]

I'm going back to school next week too. But we are starting virtually with students in a few weeks. I am so sad to not have students until at least the second nine weeks. I have been meal planning and keto baking to stock the freezer. I have also been out since early March. I am looking forward to being back on a normal schedule. Any good low carb crockpot or instant pot recipes would be great!

[@kkaylajo2012]

Thank you for this 💛 I watched while I did my hair & make up today. Could you share some learning activities for little ones or at home activities? Love all your videos, tips, & tricks. I think another important tip is making time for yourself to reset as well so you can be a better mother, spouse, friend 💗

[@keelymckelphin7632]

I work in the school system.. We go back Aug 31..💞 Thanks for the Meal Planning tips 💗God Bless from Louisiana

[@adoredheather]

I love that you don’t go in depth about politics etc... KZbin is my escape from the world for a short few minutes each day and it’s refreshing to see positivity. I started following around 14k subscribers; happy to see so many new ones!!

[@thesimplifiedsaver]

I agree with you!!! Thank you for sticking around!

[@buynsell365]

Love your videos. Can't wait to see more home improvement videos.

[@SaltyBuzzard]

When I was working, I did the meal prep for my lunch and breakfast for the week also... I did the egg “muffins” in a muffin tin ..

[@thesimplifiedsaver]

those are some of my favorites!!!

[@sherreepeterson3496]

Great ideas in this video. I too am getting ready to go back to work when school starts Sept 8th. I’ve been looking at that hair dryer straightener on Amazon and after your review I’m going to order it. I hope you have a great year!

[@EllieLove1]

That blower is awesome, I like how it left your hair. 😉

[@monicadevine8385]

I loved this video.It was so helpful.Just wondering where do your children go during the day while you are at work?

[@aprilinalabama9074]

Love your channel ❤️ Love your chockpot meals 😀👍

[@trizzybizzy1665]

Hi Abby!! Try old navy for masks, too because they sell a 5 pack for $12 and they got some pretty cute prints.

[@veronicacanisalez9519]

Your channel is interesting and fun. I too just went back to work and am coming back home exhausted so cooking in the kitchen isn't something I want to do everyday then having to wash dishes with that being said I cant wait to copycat your crockpot meals. Thanks Abby😁

[@evetfernandez2716]

You’re great thanks!

[@Amanda-nc5sy]

I love your channel 💗

[@glboo1]

Also love the recipes.. keep up the great work :)

[@terrywallace4483]

I have one of those brush/dryers and it’s a godsend !

[@stellalee2218]

I haven't used the brush before, but it looks perfect.

[@seleneevan3492]

The hairdryer is good for long-hair girl. I just ordered one for my sis, her hair is really hard to be dry.

[@bonnyroggenbauer6518]

I really like your fitbit? Step tracker. That's my favorite color! I have been looking for one like that. Can you please tell me where you got it? Btw, I love your channel. 💗

[@elainecarrillo5434]

I get my masks at target also they have really cute ones. Love ur channel ❤️

[@lynningram9171]

[@bf309]

🌷stay healthy 👍 crockpot meals 👍👍

[@yolondasmith6415]

Hi great find for the masks at Target.

[@Amanda-nc5sy]

Also, you remind me of Casey Holmes and that is a compliment! ☺️

[@jasminesegarra4346]

Hello I love your videos by the way. I wanted to ask where you got your produce basket thing?

[@thesimplifiedsaver]

IKEA!

[@thesimplifiedsaver]

Sams!

[@jasminesegarra4346]

TheSimplifiedSaver thank you

[@ayah316]

I tried to use the code for the hair dryer and it says it does not work :(

[@lorinicholson9345]

Why aren’t you taking the full year off?! Not hating at all, I love your channel, just genuinely curious!!

[@thesimplifiedsaver]

I love being a teacher!

[@trizzybizzy1665]

Check your dollar tree for masks too! Check out Prettynflawned’s KZbin she just posted a shop with me and it’s one of the first things in her video!

[@thatboyandgirlmama]

What grade do you teach??

[@melissakoenke1188]

What grade/class do you teach?

[@thesimplifiedsaver]

5th math/sci

[@WCBergable]

Where are your 3 kids when your doing all of this?

[@thesimplifiedsaver]

Small in home childcare. We love it! Only like 5 kids!

[@ItsLauraBoss]

Meal/grocery planning tip: TRY ANYLIST!!! It’s accessible as a desktop app, web app, and phone app. My fiancé and I share a grocery list on there that also syncs with Alexa, so as we remember things and run out of things we put it on the list. I never forget anything anymore!!! You can import recipes directly from websites using their extensions on most browsers and even your phone. It syncs all the steps and ingredients. Meal planning-wise you can add recipes to certain days and then add ingredients from recipes directly to your groceries (and scale recipes up and down). We have the family plan, which is $15 a year TOTAL (so worth it) but you honestly could just not pay and get a lot out of the basic version.

[@thesimplifiedsaver]

Wow thank you for sharing!!!
