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

[@ElizabethClary1]

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

[@madmomma5331]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@maddyyberr]

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

[@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!! 💕💕💕💕

[@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

[@kathytappero7179]

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

[@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.

[@Yellowlouise87]

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

[@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!!

[@savannaskiles6203]

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

[@lauralinton3362]

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

[@carriem4719]

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

[@martivasiliades8407]

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

[@jpalms7163]

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

[@lisawaddington9880]

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

[@tamiperkins-trickett2794]

Perfect timing! Ready for this!!!

[@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.

[@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!!

[@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!

[@annagerblick6097]

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

[@glendacecil49]

Good Evening Love your videos ,your meal looks amazing !!

[@rhondamckinley9051]

So glad you are back !! Hope you had a wonderful Summer with you family. ❤️ Can’t wait to decorate through the Holidays with you !! 🥰

[@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).

[@solangeriley3782]

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

[@conniesanelli8816]

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

[@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.

[@MillennialMamasLife]

New sub here and wow I’m impressed Like excited about the meal plans I printed from your blog and I’m actually meL planning this week woo hoo. Thank you for being genuine and real. I have already enjoyed the video and it’s part way through. Thanks again and btw you’re gorgeous. I love your hair. Okay fan girl over here. Off to the store for meals and I have to get some supplies this week with the kids and my Nana likes to help. It keeps her young and we enjoy spending as much time with nana as we can. Have a blessed day love.

[@MS43210]

You are such a good cook! Yum! Love love ❤️

[@espegoodbread3554]

Dear Lauren, greetings from Greece (loved you like Greek tzatziki)!!!!

Loved your video, perfect 👍🏻

[@karlatoledo2069]

New subscriber here loved your video.I think I have adhd because i have such a hard time organizing and cooking 😅 but I’m definitely inspired

[@sandracasillas745]

Yes! I can’t cook unless the kitchen is clean.

[@HDContractor]

Love this video!! Do you have a link for your fruit strainers?

[@evarobinson9791]

Wow 🤩 now this organize and prepared. I really love and enjoyed this today. I love the weekly meal plan. I need this in my life and a chef 🥰

[@heidilyszczarz329]

Do you put fresh ginger in your smoothies? I never seen that before.

[@Lisa-sp5if]

You are one amazing lady! I am obsessed with the fridge org! It is just my husband and myself now… I literally end up going to the store every day, I trick myself to thinking like I’m a European and I just go to the market every day ha ha ha, but, since we literally just do salads for the most part, I don’t know if it’s worth it to go this far to do all this. Maybe it just might be. 😘🥰Also, do you have any low-carb options? I’ve only seen your channel a few times,I don’t know what your angle for food is!

[@kikiob3628]

Do your herbs stay fresh and crisp that way? I find that my parsley and cilantro get limp after a couple days if I don’t store it in a jar of water.

[@brendahowell5946]

Thanks, teachers should be able to add $20 to each list. Teacher have to pay so much out of pocket for our kids to have awesome room to learn in

[@LaurenNicholsen]

totally agree!

First comments

[@barbaramackenthun7376]

When I first started watching you I thought Wow someone different! Now and with every new post you become more like every other over 30 act like 12! In dress, music choices, and using every product that every one else uses! Go back to your beginnings in KZbin.

[@deborahhuckaby4623]

RUDE!!!

[@lisawaddington9880]

You don't have to watch.

[@marigoldsky3799]

Wow……rude!

[@nataliesmith2458]

Wow how incredibly rude of you ! We’re you ever taught … “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all” ?

[@ksl2634]

If you're dissatisfied with her content currently, you can choose to stop watching. I've unsubscribed plenty of times to KZbinrs that I don't favor or vibe with anymore. And that's okay! Doesn't mean you have to share unsolicited comments that aren't helpful. The world sucks enough. No need to put more negativity out there.

[@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!!!

[@cdani9972]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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:))

[@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!

[@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!!!!

HEY LAUREN!!! This year my daughter is a senior and we have been looking into colleges.Infact next Monday ,we will be visiting one.As Im watching you organize the school supplies,Im thinking how its a great thing you are organized because there is ALOT to prep for before they go to college and you have four.

[@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!

[@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!!!

[@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 😂❤️

[@thefarfromperfectmum]

Hi, I'm from the UK and I'm really interested in your kids list for school. Do your children take them in for their own personal use only or does everything get collected together and all children in the class share?. We don't do anything like that here really. We only get a small list for secondary school for a few items they have to each have in their bags, so I'm genuinely interested.

[@nataliesmith2458]

I’m also from the UK 🇬🇧 and am blown away by all the stuff they have to get !

[@thefarfromperfectmum]

@@nataliesmith2458 me too, that's why I'm wondering wether it's for each personal child or wether it's to share as a group. I worry for the low income families, must be such a pressure on them as this amount of stuff cannot be cheap!

[@thefarfromperfectmum]

@Vicky Baumhardt thank you for letting us know. I think it's lovely how everyone chips in and that it helps out those that cannot afford. I know in some places in the UK where the schools have allocated less funding to classroom supplies, the teachers often buy things out of their own pocket. They never ask parents to buy supplies except for what their own children need, sometimes they suggest supplies for end of year gifts instead of personal gifts for the teachers. Secondary is different, very strict, they have a small amount of things they must carry around but must have everything or they get a detention!

[@chrissysvideos]

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

[@elenasoto5026]

Hello love your videos and also your chickens 😉🤗

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!!!

[@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.

[@NasSolo]

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

[@atlantapage1153]

You have a great system for school. It is just not right though that they have to get parents to buy so much especially toilet paper etc. We pay taxes and it is not small change and all the Homeschooling parents pay the taxes as well even though they are not benefiting. It seems like something is not adding up to me. You have a great attitude and that is very great for your kids and the teachers. I wonder what happened to cause this change. When I was in school and that was over 40 - yrs ago the schools had supplies and parents only had to clothe the kids and provide a notebook and backpack. Things have really changed a lot. Seems the more money school systems have the more they act like they need. Crazy! You have a lovely home and I was inspired by your refrigerator organization and meal planning. Just wonderful!

[@MomJeansReads]

I love our school gets supplies with our tuition. 🎉

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 🙂

[@klaudijaorevic3749]

👏👏👏❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰

[@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

[@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 !

Hi Lauren, just found your channel. New subscriber. Do you share your recipes? Your Chicken Gyros look absolutely delicious. ❤️

[@1jmass]

You mentioned earlier in the video that one of your kids does not care for one of the spices (cumin, maybe?), so you were making one with bbq sauce instead. Except for that and showing the pita bread, what the kids ate was not mentioned. I have noticed in several of your other videos that they had something different (probably due to the spice level). I am just curious about what they did have for dinner because I am sure many parents do the same thing and an extra kid friendly meal idea would be welcomed.

[@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...😧

[@Demon_slayer255]

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

[@laurap9884]

As a teacher in England I can’t believe you need to provide so much stuff for school! The children in England don’t have to bring anything when they are very little and when they get a little bit older they start to bring a pencil case but that’s it! Crazy that your schools don’t provide it all.

[@elizabethrobson-ward3678]

Is it just American schools that requires this much school equipment in England our schools supply everything the children need xx
