Classy Classic's By Kandis

It comes only once a year! There is 364 days to prepare, there is only certain holidays that are the same day all across the world. This one gets people so ancy, happy, mad, sad, bitter, grateful and excited. This is a holiday that can do anything to a person, family and a community! IT'S CHRISTMAS! Every year I say I'm going to start early, I'm going to have a nice relaxed family loving year! It's a true magical moment too see the magic in the kids eyes! I love trying to make the holiday as special and magical as I can! The true magic of Christmas is the ability to gather so many people together and have a special vibe go through the air. True Christmas magic is the care and love and cookies lol. Over the years I have started to get the Christmas spirit back! For years it was just another day, a time of year I had to put a smile on and tell everyone life was fine! Now I'm gitty at Christmas time, filling hopes and dreams and stuffing stocking's. ...

Does it ever feel like the day just slows down? Time almost stops when your waiting for it to fly by? Evening just blurr together, especially on the nights mommy needs a shower haha. Hello and welcome to Classy Classic's By Kandis for another routine blog! This one is our evening one! This tends to be the busiest time of the day! I'm not sure if it's because everyone is home now, or if it is because mama is ready for her day to end lol! Either way evening can get long and I tend to need my routine to stay on track for this time of day! What does an evening look like in our house of 6! My evening routine is roughly from 6:00 pm to 11:00 pm. This is yes counting my relax time ideally from 9:30/10:00 - 11:00. I try to be tucked in bed around 11:00 pm, as 5:30 am comes oh so fast! With the evening we start it at say 6:00 pm at supper! Supper comes and goes, then comes dishes, clean the table off, get the kitchen wiped down and a quick sweep! This usually will ru...

Hi good morning and welcome to Classy Classic's By Kandis. It's another week, another start, another routine. There is always time for a strong routine. When placed in the right time zone can be extremely helpful, thrown together, and not thought about is just a waste. In my mind it is that is! I have routines to help set up my day! Between all the demands and different job tasks that are required as a stay at home mom, it can be difficult to remember, coordinate and accomplish it all. I will point out that it is not our job to do it all. Remember " you can do anything, but you can not to everything" this is a saying I'm trying to keep in my mind! It can be hard when there is always something that needs to be done, and always someone that needs some mom time. How to do it all. In my afternoon routine it is broken down to help me on track and focused. I get detracted really easy! With this I can keep my mind focused for a couple minutes as most tasks...

Good Morning! Birds are chirping, sun is coming up, and kids are waking up! Coffee is brewed and mamma is enjoying a cup! Mornings can be hard, whether you have kids in school, or little ones at home. In my case I have both, and I tell you my morning routine is proving to be very important here for a smoother morning! Hi I'm Kandis and welcome to Classy Classic's By Kandis. As I said I am a mother of 4 kids, a daughter who is 10, and 3 boys ages 8, 2 1/2 and 8 month old! Things can go from 0 to wow in no time! I have learned that we need a strong morning routine here. Do you have a morning routine? Let me know, how does it work for you? I hope whether you have a routine or not you enjoy this blog on our morning routine and how we try to get the older kid's ready and out the door for school, and mamma gets a couple things done. Let me know in the comments if you liked it, and I will be getting ready to post the afternoon blog here next! Here we go my morning c...

Bills, mortgage, insurance, grocery, coffee, kids it all adds up! What do you think you spend the most money on? I bet you have more money then you think! Good morning and welcome to Classy Classic's By Kandis! I am super excited to write this blog! It's an outline for....... budgeting! Do you have debt, live paycheck to paycheck? Trying to save for a vacation or a big purchase? There is so many ways to "budget", which way have you tried? I have designed a way that I found to work lovely! I say this as I did it and now we are out of debt! I find just as a morning routine or a cleaning routine, there are so many different ways out there how do you know what will work? Everyone has different jobs, different income, different bills, different dreams and goals! With this outline you pick how to roll with it. Just as habits it comes down to how bad do you want it? You are not going to get out of debt, if you keep doing what you want. Want to save put that $5.00...

Have you heard the expression "you can't have your cake, and it it too"! I have always been the type that says "watch me", I'll make it, bake it, and have it too! Lol I always say "can do anything, give me 24 hours". Anything can happen in 24 hours! There is a actual reason why my friends said the doctor was a smart man, not putting me a boot. I will keep going, always something to do. Little by little, task by task it will all get done. Here is a fun fact about me lol I have troubles focusing on one task. I have squirrel brain haha. I will be cleaning one spot, do the mistake of taking something to another room, to put away.p then see something and start tackling that. It can be hard to complete one task, and so it never feels like I got much done because I am so everywhere. These week's I have not be able to really do that. With not being able to just be on the go, bounce from here to there I had to be focused on the task at hand....
