Easy-breezy, Eco-friendly Back to School

It’s that time of year again where kids are dreading going back to school, while parents are eagerly pushing them out the door. As parents we do what we can to help our children have a successful and valuable school life experience. Helping our kids make healthy life choices early on ensures they’ll take those important lessons with them into adulthood.

My son is starting high school and it’s bittersweet for me because soon we’ll be thinking about college applications. But I still try to teach him to make healthy habits that I hope he’ll carry into adulthood. I try to instill values of the importance of a healthy school life balance. That includes eating well, getting enough sleep, and doing things that limits stress. But admittedly, school has become extremely stressful for children over the years. Too much competition within schools, peers, and even homelife. When I’m too stressed, I harken back to my younger years living at home with my folks and remember the balance that my own mom tried to teach me.

I’m going to list some of my tried and true, and favorite back to school tips and hacks. I wish I had more time during the day to make lavish breakfasts and lunches for my teenager, but most days that just won’t work out. Being a parent is one of the toughest jobs in the Universe, and we can all pretty much agree that we want the best for our kids, no matter their ages.

SCHOOL VS. HOME:

  • To save time and money, try to reuse what you have. If their backpacks are still in great working order, doesn’t have ripped seams, and still have all the zippers and pockets in tack, then clean up the backpack and reuse it. Unless your child has really outgrown their backpack, reusing them from year to year is a great way to save money, time, and produce less waste in the landfill. If unable to reuse, you can always donate the backpack or do a trade with a friend.

  • To keep school work separate, give your kids their own work station. Create a box, crate, or cabinet just for their school work. This will help you and your child find things a lot easier. Rotate throughout the years with things you want to keep and toss.

  • Create a lunch station. This can easily be done in any household and will save you a lot of time in the morning. Depending on the ages of your children, gather snacks that are healthy, delicious, and easy to eat. See below for easy lunch station snacks and ideas.

  • Buy bulk when possible. Buying bulk helps reduce extra waste and saves time. But, buy only bulk items your family constantly uses. Separate the items into the lunch station and school work station.

  • Healthy school lunches is crucial for maintaining your child’s energy throughout the day. Depending on their ages, children’s lunches should include a balanced meal, especially if they don’t eat breakfast. Some schools throughout the US offers free lunch but not all of them offer a healthy lunch. See below for healthy and delicious lunch ideas.

  • Create a winding down time before bedtime. The first couple of weeks of school can be exciting and stressful so setting a bedtime routine early will help your child get back on track. Turn off electronics at least one hour before bedtime, try not to drink any beverages at least one hour before bedtime, and take a soothing shower or bath before going to bed.

  • Have some wholesome and delicious afterschool snack. Kids are tired, grumpy, and most likely hungry after school, so having some snacks at home ensures they’re eating healthy while relaxing. See below for yummy afterschool snack ideas.

EASY, HEALTHY, AND DELICIOUS LUNCH AND SNACKS FOR KIDS:

Lunch from home should be quick, delicious, and healthy. Most students don’t have a lot of time to eat during lunch and recess because of the limited time for eating and playing. While you might be tempted (or insisted by your child) to pack conveniently bagged snacks you’d find in the supermarkets, they’re not all that healthy. It’s okay to include them once in awhile or limit to just one item in their lunch bag.

  • Yogurt squeeze – these yogurt squeezers or tubes are convenient and pack some needed nutrition and energy. They might not always be easy to open, so younger kids would need help opening them at school. Try to purchase yogurt squeezes that are low in sugar and fat as some brands hide the true value of nutrition by adding tons of sugar and artificial flavors and colors.

  • Cut or sliced fruits – fruits are nature’s best sugar so pack easy to eat ones such as grapes, sliced apples, sliced oranges, and berries such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Kids love to hold things in their hands so berries and sliced fruit are fun, delicious, and healthy!

  • Crackers and cheese snacks – choose whole wheat crackers and low sodium cheese. Cut cheese into cubes or thin slices so kids can make them into finger sandwiches if they want.

  • Yogurt Parfaits – a delicious, fun, and cute way of serving yogurt with fruit. Make it extra fancy by layering the yogurt, fruit, and any other toppings you have at home. Try these as a delicious after school snack for your kids.

  • Hummus and vegetables – these are great for school lunches or afterschool snacks. You can make homemade hummus or buy them at stores. Sliced vegetables such as carrots, radishes, and cucumbers pair well with hummus. Add fancier vegetables such as Haricot Verts, red and white carrots, asparagus, and endive for a special treat.

  • Hard-boiled eggs – most kids enjoy eggs whether they’re scrambled, fried, or hard boiled. Plus, they’re fun to peel and easy to eat. If you’re adding them to a school lunch, make sure you peel them first if your kids are little. This will save them time and frustration if they’re not used to peeling eggshells.

Try to avoid overly sugared lunch food. Kids will get that “sugar high” which isn’t beneficial to them or their teachers. Pack lunches that don’t spoil or keep an ice pack with their lunch containers. Be sure to pack them a reusable water bottle as schools should have a water refill station. Reusable utensils, and a sturdy lunch bag are necessary to create a safe and friendly environment for your child and everyone around them.

Best of luck for your school-aged children!

Scandalized is a contemporary romance story by first time author, Ivy Owens. Set in the the present era, Scandalized takes us on a personal journey with main characters Georgia Ross and Alexander Kim. I was given an ARC for Ivy Owen’s debut novel and eager to dive into this new romance story.

What a story! This title should already give away some hints on the premise of this novel. We immediately see the fireworks between Gigi and Alec as a shared past ignites a dangerous spark between the two friends. Will their two-week stand be more than just that? Or will their secrets and past forge a newfound love that neither one has ever felt before? Read Scandalized by Ivy Owens and find out!

Scandalized is a steamy, contemporary adult romance novel. This books is best for ages 18 and above. You can purchase Scandalized on Amazon.

About the Book – from Gallery Books/Simon & Schuster:

A one-night stand between two old childhood friends turns into something more, but when a scandal threatens to tear them apart, they must decide how hard to fight for love—a steamy romance debut perfect for fans of Tessa Bailey and Kennedy Ryan​.

Exhausted and on deadline with a story that could make or break her career, investigative journalist Georgia Ross is on the verge of a meltdown when a cancelled flight leaves her stuck in the airport overnight. But when a familiar face appears—the older brother of her childhood friend—and offers help, Gigi seems to have caught a break.

Alec Kim is handsome, humble, and kind—exactly the sort of man that Gigi has forgotten existed after her own painful heartbreaks. An evening of reconnection followed by a night of no-strings-attached passion with Alec feels like a gift—that is, until Gigi finally realizes that their childhood connection isn’t the only reason he seems so familiar to her.

Alec is determined to prove to Gigi that he is truly the man she thinks he is, even if it means coming clean about his fame—and his family’s connection to the story Gigi’s been working so hard to break. But as their feelings for each other grow deeper, Gigi and Alec must navigate a new reality…one where both of their hard-won careers are put directly in the path of an international scandal.

Easy Ways for Kids to Start a Summer Garden

Summer is a great time to start a garden with children. With some free time before school starts, children can get a good harvest going before the fall and winter seasons. While temperatures are conflicting around the world, you can still find the right type of plants to grow in the summer and be ready for a hearty harvest in a couple of months.

My love for gardening and nature developed at a very young age. I thank both my parents for that because now I teach gardening to children at an elementary school and hope to instill in them a love of nature too. Whether you’re a beginner or an avid gardener, getting kids started at a young age gives them a chance to learn and grow at their own pace. Nature has no judgement and will in fact, bring you an abundance of joy and satisfaction for many, many years.

To get kids started in gardening, you must know the basics. The fundamentals of gardening helps develop good habits that leads to better understanding and less frustration. If you and your children already have a garden full of lovely plants, then that’s awesome. If not, or you’re just starting out, check out some easy tips to get you started on a lifetime of healthy living.

10 BASIC GARDENING TIPS:

1 – Decide on your garden space. Do you want a small patch of land in your yard? Do you want only planters?Or do you want a mixture of ground and raised? Once you decide on the type of garden you want, you can start planning!

2 – Decide on how much you want to invest in your garden. If you’re just starting out, it’s easier to start on a small budget. Any range between $50-$100 is a good starting point.

3 – Have your kids research on the type of plants they want to grow. Depending on their age, they can start with very basic and easy to take care of plants. I will list the type of plants below.

4 – Visit a garden center or big box stores like Home Depot and Lowe’s that has a garden center. Take some time to walk around and learn about the various types of plants. Touch the plants and smell them to see what you like.

5 – While at the garden center, pick up some easy to grow plants: mint (any type), tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage, radish, sweet snap peas, bell peppers, daisies, sunflowers, and hibiscus (seasonal).

6 – Have your kids pick out basic garden tools: small hand shovel/spade, small hand rake, gloves, bucket, watering can, and gardening soil. Many gardening tools are made for children but I recommend getting them medium sized tools so they can eventually grow into them. Check out this one-for-all tool set: https://amzn.to/43bxRJS (sponsored).

7 – Find the right spot in the garden. Most plants can take full sun up to 6 hours, depending on where you live. For easy to grow plants such as the ones mentioned above, try to grow them where there’s sun for most part of the day. If you plant in planters, they are easy to move around according to the position of the sun.

8 – Don’t over or under water your plants. How do you know if you’re over watering or under watering? Check the top soil. Place 2 fingers into the soil of where you plant is. If it’s moist, then you don’t need to water the plants yet. If it’s dry or not moist, then water them immediately. Over watering plants can kill them or cause plant diseases. Under watering plants can make it difficult for them to flourish again. An easy way to manage water is with an irrigation center: https://amzn.to/3NC6mUg (sponsored).

9 – Buy high quality planting soil. Once you’ve decided if you’re planting directly in ground or in planters, make sure you buy higher quality soil to give your new plants a chance to grow and flourish.

10 – Tag and monitor your plants. If you’re growing from seeds, it’s very simple to watch your seeds grow from seedlings to full plants. If planting seedlings that you got from the store, place markers in the soil with the name of the plant and the date it was planted.

A few other things to note as your child starts his/her journey into becoming a gardener. Besides doing the basics of gardening, invest in composting and upcycling. I use this Compost Bin at home and at school: https://amzn.to/44uL3dV (sponsored).

Being a gardener or just having a love for gardening is also being a steward of the planet. We garden because we appreciate nature and the love of living a healthy lifestyle. Gardening is therapeutic and resourceful. You can plant a bounty of delicious and healthy food to last you for many years or you can grow a garden just for show. All it takes are some simple steps to begin your garden and your kids will grow into a love for nature and making healthy choices.

Tips for an Eco-Budget Friendly Summer

Business and Pleasure Tommy Chair

It’s crazy hot in California and I just want to lounge in front of the air conditioner and take a nap. But with rising temperatures around the world, a growing inflation, and the threat of a climate crisis, just how do we have a relaxing and cool summer without breaking the bank?

At a very young age, my parents instilled a sense of reverence and mindfulness. I’d like to think that those important life lessons helped shaped me to be more mindful and careful about the environment and myself. If you’re on a tight budget, that would work out well. But regardless of how we want to spend our summer days, it’s important to find a balance between saving money, time, and being environmentally conscious.

I travel a great deal during the summer months so I do my best to keep a healthy perspective on what I spend, how I spend, and how my spending impacts the environment. Below I’ve listed some tips that I take with me while traveling or when we’re staying home.

10 Tips for an Eco-friendly Cool Summer:

Wishing you all a safe and healthy summer!

Embracing the Grown Up Child – How to Survive a Brand New Teenager

As I sit here writing this article about the pains of dealing with a growing child, I can just hear my son say, “uh, mom, I’m NOT a child”. Well, sorry to spoil it for you kid, but you are a child and you’ll forever be my child no matter how old you are.

Kids are notorious for telling you what to do. What you did wrong. What you didn’t do. All these facets come into play once you become a parent. But when your child grows steadily into the teenage years, all those declarations of self importance become even more apparent – that you have now entered the emotional, turbulence teenage voyage into adulthood. I say this with a lot of love and endearment, that there’s no one who can test your patience more than your own child. You don’t have to be a Saint to embrace the grown up child, but you should be warned to start diligently placing your patience and tolerance into a box for the times you have to put them to good use on your teenager.

Before I became a mom I was a loving and patient aunt to my nieces and nephews. I love them dearly but I could also easily give them back to their parents. I’d like to think though that watching my nieces and nephews grow up actually helped me as a mom. But I am probably kidding myself or wish it was so. When you’re a parent to your own children every facet of patience and tolerance as an aunt or uncle flew out the window.

As my son entered his early teenage years, I watched and listened to how he interacted with his friends and classmates. Was he kind? Does he get angry and impatient with his friends as I might with him at times? Is he a great friend and a great student? No matter how much I love him and discipline him, I always worry that my own impatience will wear on him. It’s not easy being a parent but I would assume it’s even harder being a child. And I oftentimes reflect to my own teenage years and how I had acted and treated my own parents.

I admit I wasn’t the most tolerable teenager. Some might say I was rebellious but those people didn’t understand I was just being independent. My parents raised my siblings and I to be independent thinkers and I strive to do that with my own child. And as most parents will come to realize – your child will most likely treat you the same way you treated your parents. Be it easy going and relaxed or a demon on Earth, the old adage of you becoming your parents reflect similarly to your own kids. Eventually they’ll become just like you, and that could either be a blessing or a curse.

But as parents, I think we can all pretty much agree that patience and fortitude are what keeps us from going crazy. We can love our kids to death one minute and the next their voices grate our ears like a 20,000 ton freight train. We can discipline them into perfect little A+ students or we can let them run free like the wayward wind. In the end, they will either appreciate what you did or tolerate your parenting skills until they leave the nest.

My son is currently a young teenager but he acts like a grumpy old man sometimes. And when my friends and siblings share stories, it’s incredibly funny how we have such similar instances. Are they ALL related to each other since their capricious moods are all alike? How did my sweet, kind, carefree toddler grow into an impatient, unpleasant, and grumpy teen? I can only cherish the times when he reverts back to the sweet, kind, and innocent child and hold onto those memories…

So I’ve developed some tolerance skills that I want to share with you. Sometimes I really pray they work. But eventually I hope my child has been listening to me all these years and take my lessons to him into adulthood. And if he has his own children some day, I hope he remembers his own grumpy teenage years.

How to survive a brand new teenager:

  • Try to resist yelling at them. If that doesn’t work, yell at them anyway and hope for the best.

  • Try to give them some independence. You’ll be glad that once they can drive they’ll leave you alone for a couple of hours.

  • Once they do have their license and can drive, make them pick up all the last minute stuff that you inadvertently “forgot”.

  • Make them do ten loads of laundry a day that you’ve been doing since they were born. It’ll teach them great hands, arms, and legs coordination.

  • Don’t let them make their own mistakes. Trust me – you’ll be the one fixing them. Instead, you make mistakes and let them fix yours.

  • Find a great therapist. Either you, your spouse, or your kids will eventually need them.

  • Let them be who they are but be watchful. The quickest path to a yelling match is to not allow them self worth.

  • It’s okay to punish them. Tell them you’re doing it “because you love them”.

  • Learn to be on your phone for hours on end just like them. You might even enjoy this new hobby!

  • Ask them a question, then ignore them. This reverse psychology method will surely work, right?

In the end, we all want what’s best for our kids. But it takes a lot of growing pains for the parents and children while your kids are still developing and learning. So be sure to take some time for yourself. Read a book. Write a story. Languish at the pool. Because tomorrow the (arguing, ignoring, late nights, and insert your own action) will once again commence.

Plastic-Free World – Is it possible?

As we enter another year of the plastic free movement in July, I am surprised that through grassroots initiatives and government policies, the world is slowly on the path of enlightenment and progress. Reading news about single-use plastic bans around the world brings a heartwarming and hopeful step towards the right future. For instance, Canada plans to ban single use plastics manufacturing and importing by end of this year, and by 2025 the entire single use ban prohibits the sale of and export of such products. These efforts alone estimates to eliminate more than 1.3 Million tons of plastic waste around the world. Other countries in Asia such as China, India, and Japan also promises to ban single-use plastics within the next 10 years. And California was one of the first states in the US to ban single-use plastic bags in retail stores and just last year, the ban on single-use plastic straws served in public places.

When you think about how other countries in Europe and Asia are moving away from the single-use plastics addiction, we can easily compare the standard of living to the US. Is it because we are too addicted to convenience and the ease of just picking up a bag of chips at the grocery store? We all fall victim to it. To the comfort of knowing that we can buy practically anything in grocery stores in the US. But is it right to be so easily seduced by this kind of convenience?

 

Whether or not we choose to buy things because of convenience or need or both, we must all take a look at why we are making such purchases. Sometimes when I’m at the supermarket picking out fresh fruits, I see packaged fruits sitting perfectly complacent next to freestanding fruits. Why are some of the same fruits packaged while others are not? They were the exact same organic apples albeit a different brand. Are we so accustomed to just picking up a prepackaged bag of fruit, tossing it into our carts instead of taking the time to pick out the ones we actually want? Wouldn’t it be both fun and beneficial to the environment to be able to pick out your own fruits rather than have the store decide that factor for us? While the world governs almost every aspect of our consumer lives, it has become a double edged sword. On one hand, we have become accustomed to the convenience of a Starbucks Iced Mocha served in a single-use plastic container instead of making the drink at home. On the other hand, because society has made convenience a lazy route to the standard of living, how do we branch away from buying things that are so inconveniently packaged? And you’ll know what I’m referring to when it takes more than the usual effort to open up a bag of chips or a plastic water bottle. Essentially, a waste of time and a waste of plastic.

Before I dive even further down the rabbit hole of single-use plastics, one thing we can think upon is how to reduce the use of them. Is it convenient to buy a bag of chips rather than make our own at home? Well, yes, of course. But is it necessarily healthier? Making our own potato snacks means less ingredients to ponder about and less waste for sure. So in the long run, reducing plastic use also enhances our own health and well being. And I’m not even talking about how those microplastics can end up inside our bodies each time we eat something that comes in a plastic container. But wait, you might think – I don’t know how to make potato chips! Well, neither do I but I could also skip a bag of chips when I’m grocery shopping and instead, eat something much healthier like fresh fruits or vegetables. If you can regularly correlate good health with convenience of food, then you can slowly get on the path of reducing the need to buy products in plastic containers.

So how do we reduce single-use plastics dependency? Let’s start with a few easy steps that you can make a conscious effort to change.

Steps to reduce single-use plastics:

  • Choose loose fruits and vegetables rather than prepackaged ones.

  • Choose healthier homemade snacks or buy bulk. Homemade snacks can include sliced seasonal fruits and vegetables, cookies, granola, and anything that you can set your skills to or improve upon.

  • Refuse takeout containers that are in Styrofoam and plastic. Even better, order food that you will only eat at the restaurant or bring your own containers. In certain parts of the world, people easily incorporate this habit when they’re eating out.

  • Store food in reusable containers. Glass and aluminum are the best materials as they last a long time and are easily recyclable and reusable.

  • Drink tea using loose tea leaves instead of tea bags. Most tea bags are not compostable as they might claim. Loose tea leaves are often packaged in elegant aluminum containers or whimsical cardboard boxes.

  • Make your own coffee and fancy coffee beverages at home. Better yet, most coffee places will allow you to bring your own cup. Or take some time to sit at the coffee shop and enjoy beverages with their own cups.

  • Skip the straw while you’re outside. At home, you can use your own glass or stainless steel straws. Unless there is a real need for plastic straws, try not to use them or request them.

  • Skip the use of plastic trash bags. I know it might sound yucky, but you really can use a paper bag to line your kitchen trash cans.

  • Choose plastic free beauty products. More and more companies are jumping on the plastic free bandwagon. Make sure these companies offer a take-back program of their containers where they can reuse the containers for future products. Check out Plaine Products and their goals to reduce single-use plastics: https://www.plaineproducts.com/ref/Suzan%20C./

  • Do a home and business audit on how much waste is accumulated. Check out Plastic Free July’s tips on how to do this: https://www.plasticfreejuly.org/get-involved/what-you-can-do/bin-audit/?mc_cid=f1fa6fff3d&mc_eid=594b2f4046

  • Choose food products in recyclable or reusable packaging. While not all packaging materials can be easily recycled, try to buy these products packaged in paper, aluminum, or glass.

  • When vacationing, try to apply these same techniques, especially if certain areas you’re visiting has completely banned the use of single-use plastics.

These may seem like easy and simple tasks, but it takes one step at a time, especially if you’re new or not too keen on reducing plastic use. Soon, you’ll be on the path to improving your health, mentality, and the planet. The point isn’t to feel guilty if you went on a plastic binge or if you never thought of reducing single-use plastics. The goal is to be more aware of your purchasing decisions and where and how you use single-use plastics.
