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!

The sweetest mornings are spent with these three. The sweetest mornings are spent with these three.

He’s a sweet kid, who loves to be silly. He likes his alone time to play, but also loves when his brother plays with him. He surprises me daily with all the things he knows, and I’m so blessed we’re going on our third year of learning together. He loves his baby sister something big, and she puts up with his shenanigans. We all love to watch him play and grow in baseball, and watching his skills develop over the years has been fun! Happy birthday sweet Bennett! 🎂

I kept thinking about party favors, and after chatting with some friends about ideas—decided on this! I loved that I wouldn’t be handing out candy or other items that may end up just thrown away. Also, ice cream was always served with cake as a kid so what better way to get your ice cream later 😉

Also, any other moms out there that their kid missed their siblings more than you? 🤦🏼‍♀️ oh well, he enjoyed it and his teacher is literally the sweetest thing! How is your first week going? Any case of the kids say the craziest thing? I love the first day of school, and it’s such a special moment to watch and see how each child takes the day and runs with it. 💙
