Dear Moms,

It seems this year with back to school, the golden rituals of prepping, planning & daily school routine just kick-started. However, as mothers, we always have to face endless problems. It could be even a tiny problem, such as finding a matching pair of socks in the wardrobe or a big problem such as forgetting to wrap the notebooks. Always, we could hear from the family, “you should have got it right before”. Trust me, “You are not the only one we all get to listen to this”.

So, returning to school after a couple of years of online schooling is a significant milestone. Now, we are ready to face the reality of the problems that existed even before the pandemic hit the world. To name a few, packing soothing and appealing lunch boxes, fancy & healthy snacks, organizing the books following the timetable, scheduling the school routine and post-school activities, and the list keeps expanding.

Be a working mom or a stay-at-home mom, you always have “n” tasks on your to-do list, and you complete only a few of them before winding up the day. So, how does a mom acquire the mastery to solve all these problems? Though it might be challenging yet moms can achieve it.

While speaking about mastery, I mean the highest ability to resolve issues and arrive at a possible solution, and this topic is a vast subject. Hence, I am sharing one of the many ideas and plenty to follow in the upcoming posts.

Problem 1: What is in my Box?

“What is in my box for lunch/Snacks?” is the most common query a mom can listen to from her children and spouse. Well, every day to pack something new and exciting is challenging for moms. When children open and find a fresh home-cooked meal in the lunch box, their joy is priceless. Every mom wants to give the best to their children. So, how do you make the lunch box so unique and special daily?

 Solution: Plan your weekly meal ahead

A weekly meal plan is an optimal way to approach your problem of “what is in my box?”. Besides, when you start to list the meals, you will know the ingredients you need. Thus, you will be drafting your grocery shopping list simultaneously. Once done with your grocery purchase, cleaning and storing them in the pantry and refrigerating is all you need to do. And in the morning, you can easily prepare breakfast and lunch and pack the boxes. All your worries about what to pack get sorted. Therefore, you are all set to start the new day with plenty of positive vibes.

Hence, keep up your mind and soul filled with positive vibes.
