Wild to think summer is coming to an end, it’s still 100 degrees in Charlotte and school started back!!! Sofia is in 5th grade but that’s middle school here – she has a bell schedule, locker, all the big kids things. There was a LOT of stress and anxiety leading up to the first day – she does take anxiety medicine as needed (so do I! please know you DO NOT need to suffer, I put off meds for YEARS and tried everything. The medicine changed my life, it’s a chemical imbalance not just mind over matter type of thing).
*if you want to chat all things anxiety I am always available – please please please do not suffer like I did!
After getting adjusted to the new routine and early wake-up’s we were all wiped out when Friday hit! And also just dealing with an anxious child emotionally drains the entire family. Mike grilled out with his friend, I ordered Mexican and binged Outlander (season 7 is out!!!) and Sofia had McD’s in bed watching Halloween movies. She’s been on quite the Halloween kick – pumpkin candles (on a candle warmer, not lit…like EVER!), Fall decor, pumpkin blankets, mini faux pumpkins on every surface, apple spice lotion, witches brew body spray haha this girl goes all out!
Saturday is our only day with zero plans each week, I let Sofia decide between seeing Barbie or baking a cake. She chose cake, off to Walmart we went! We grabbed food coloring, cake mix, icing, every Halloween sprinkle they had and got to baking. This was entirely her creation!
Sunday was cheer and getting prepped for the week ahead 🙂
Here’s what we’re cooking this week!
MONDAY: nuggets, Mac + cheese, broccoli
TUESDAY: sloppy joes, fries + corn
WEDNESDAY: ravioli + meatsauce w/ salad
THURSDAY: slow cooker crack chicken sandwiches

Hope you have a great week!
