Back to School Week: Simplifying school lunches with a snack station + weekly prep

This blog post is part of a week-long series on getting our families and homes ready for the Back To School Season! You can start at the beginning by clicking here.

This week we’ve talked about preparing our hearts for the school year, simplifying all the papers that come home from school, and syncing our schedules using a calendar system that covers all your bases. It’s been a fun week!

But I think today might be my favorite day, because we get to talk about Snack Stations!!

I realize that MIGHT seem less exciting than it sounds, but just you wait. Once I explain how it will revolutionize the way you pack school lunches, you’re going to love it too!

Last year, after packing a zillion school lunches for kids who are totally capable of packing their OWN lunches, I decided that I just wasn’t really going to do it anymore.

Instead, I set up a system that the kids can manage all on their own.

Introducing The Snack Station!

We’ve got a rolling cart in our kitchen where I’ve set up a snack station in three levels.
