The View of a 30-Something Mom of two

Easy Mac–The Good Kind



There are nights that the hubby gets home late for work, and by time he gets home I’m starving and there is something about eating really close to bedtime that I just don’t like. I also tend to need a go to lunch during the day, since I don’t generally eat leftovers…and if there are leftovers they go in Nics lunch. 





This summer when I was extremely pregnant, I would venture to Target daily to see what new things I could find. Too much money was spent there this summer, but it was cold inside and they had Starbucks and popcorn. One of my trips through the grocery aisle, I spotted Pirate’s Booty Mac n Cheese. I snatched them very quickly off the shelf…every single different “flavor”. I have had the popcorn before and it’s quite delicious, but wasn’t sure what to expect from the pasta. When I got home I made some, and quickly polished it off. Unlike Kraft, it actually tastes cheesy, not kinda just coloring it with cheese. I have always been taught thought meals should include a veggie and meat, so that’s how I end up with my Mac n Cheese creations!  It’s a super fast lunch or dinner that doesn’t have all the stuff the other Mac N Cheese have! 



Things you can throw in your Mac N Cheese: 

Ham
Leftover Chicken
Hot Dogs
Sausage
Any veggie
Avocado
…and don’t forget your favorite spice to spice it up. I love a couple drops of hot sauce in mine!

We visited @babyscene1 again yesterday and loved s We visited @babyscene1 again yesterday and loved seeing baby girl on the big screen! 💓This is our second time visiting them, and they love showing you every inch of your baby. This time my mom and father in law joined and were able to experience a sonogram with us. It’s amazing all the things you can see on a 3D/4D sonogram including her sucking on the umbilical cord, each little finger, her foot on top of her head, and so much more. I highly recommend visiting @babyscene1  with your family.

Homeschooling—it’s something I have truly fall Homeschooling—it’s something I have truly fallen in love with. It allows me the best of both worlds—teaching and being home with my kids. Homeschooling allows these two to become the best of friends. It allows me to really take what we’re learning and put it into our world of play. Imaginative play is so amazing at this young age and they learn so much by just playing. Yesterday, after learning about parallel, perpendicular, and intersecting lines—I took the boys outside to find lines outside. They ended up making a “fire” using sticks that they found, and creating lines out of them. 🔥 If you are hesitant on homeschooling please ask me! I’d love to answer any questions!
