Feed-N-Wax Wood Polish and Conditioner is ideal for enhancing the depth of grain while providing added protection and luster to furniture, antiques, and cabinets. Feed-N-Wax helps introduce conditioning oils that ‘feed’ the wood while providing a protective coating of beeswax and carnauba wax. Feed-N-Wax can be used on finished or unfinished wood to help preserve and keep the wood from drying out, fading, or even cracking.

You might also be interested in a bottle of SunShield Outdoor Furniture Wax. I picked up this one for my outside furniture as it offers UV protection!

You can see my front door working on it today. The top is polished and the bottom is not. I shared in my Instagram stories today.

Download this 30 Day Gratitude Challenge PDF. Daily exercises to increase your gratefulness. By the end of this 30-day gratitude challenge calendar, you will have created a solid gratitude habit! Turn life’s lemons into lemonade.

30 Day Gratitude Challenge PDF

Have you taken the November Gratitude Challenge? Basically every day in the month of November you list one thing you are grateful for. I have tried to do this every November and it is great way to enter and approach the holidays? However, it isn’t enough. With the end of the school year, crazy schedules and the approach of summer, I admit, I need another gratitude challenge.

So I am taking the May 30 Day Gratitude Challenge. Honestly this can be done any month, but I am approaching it this May through the chaos of different season, a season other than November. There are many ways I have approached the gratitude challenge in the past. I have done it with no direction, just thinking of a reason to be thankful every day. I have done it alphabetically thinking of something I am thankful for that starts with an A, the next day B then all the way to Z. This Summer 30 Day Gratitude Challenge I am approaching with themes.

Gratitude Challenge Ideas

Let’s talk a themed gratitude challenge. Each day for 30 days, you focus on finding people or things, you’re grateful to have in your life, and then you express your gratitude for them. By the end of this 30-day gratitude challenge calendar, you will have created a solid gratitude habit!

Gratitude Challenge Ideas and Themes include:

Every single day in the month, write down the following areas of thanksgiving in a gratitude journal or even on your daily/weekly planner. They could even be discussed with your family member over dinner.

Day 1: Home
Day 2: Family
Day 3: Time
Day 4: Books
Day 5: Heritage
Day 6: Pet/Animals
Day 7: Life
Day 8: Memories
Day 9: Traditions
Day 10: Freedom
Day 11: Passion
Day 12: Work/Business
Day 13: Music
Day 14: Nature
Day 15: Health
Day 16: Travel
Day 17: Knowledge
Day 18: Kindness
Day 19: Love
Day 20: Faith
Day 21: Technology
Day 22: Art
Day 23: Laughter
Day 24: Self Care
Day 25: Creativity
Day 26: Comforts
Day 27: Opportunities
Day 28: Adventures
Day 29: Friends
Day 30: The Past

Every day for the next 30 days, celebrate something related to the theme of the day. Take a photo, journal about it, discuss it over dinner conversation with your family or share it on social media.

Turn life’s greatest lessons, aka lemons, into lemonade.

Thankful Mom Hack: When my kids (or I) cannot sleep, I tell them to go through the letters A to Z listing the things they are thankful for or want to pray over. This is similar to counting sheep only keeps them focused in gratitude or prayer before dozing off.

Do you find yourself in a school year rut? Have a great start to the back to school season with these lunch and snack prep essentials. Download a weekly school lunch planner, printable lunch notes, and a list of healthy lunchbox ideas for kids. Enjoy!

School Lunch Planner

If the end of last school year taught me anything, I taught me to plan our meals. Meats were out of stock, I was ordering groceries online and in order to not waste food or to have enough of what we like, I had to plan our meals. It is not that I didn’t plan before, but I was able to spread our food out and use it for the best purpose. I felt like a pioneer woman on a home school prairie.

I am taking that meal planning a step further as we head back to school with a weekly lunchbox planner. This will allow me to assign food to days before it goes bad, for me to pack non perishable food ahead and for me to use all the foods we have before opening something new.

School Meal Planning List

Included in our School Lunch Planner are…

Pantry Inventory List
Shopping List
Prepping List
Notes List

Each day is also listed Monday to Friday and includes what to pack for snacks and lunch.

Lunch Box Ideas for Kids

I wanted to supply you with a list of healthy lunch box kids idea. As the year goes on, creativity goes out the door. Below are ideas you can add inside your child’s lunch.

Drinks

Water
Milk
Juice
Sports Drink

Protein

Pepperoni
Turkey
Ham
Hard Boiled Egg
Tuna/Chicken Salad
Hummus
Nuts
Peanut Butter

Fruit

Banana
Strawberry
Berries
Orange
Avocados
Apple
Pear
Mango
Kiwi
Cheeries

Veggie

Cucumbers
Tomatoes
Carrots
Broccoli
Edamame

Dairy

Yogurt
Cheese Stick
Cottage Cheese
Drinkable Yougurt

Grain

Crackers
Bread
Pasta
Rice Cakes

Snacks

Graham Crackers
Vegetable Chips
Fruit Leather
Granola Bar
Goldfish
Trail Mix
Pretzels
Raisins

Note: Some schools only allow peanut free lunches. This would eliminate some weekly lunchbox ideas.

How to Store Lunch Box Notes

I have collected lunch box notes for years. With five kids, I hate reprinting new notes every year. To preserve these notes, I laminate my printables.

I have owned Scotch™ Thermal Laminator for ten years and it is still going strong.

I store both my lunch box notes and lunch box labels in a gallon sized Ziploc bag. This bag is stored by our lunchbox supplies including thermos, bento boxes and sandwich bags and more.

We know you are a busy mom. We get it, we are too. That is why we put together these —> Everyday Busy Mom Hacks and Tips.
