Classy Classic's By Kandis

One week, 7 days, 168 hours, how did it go so fast! Did I blink, get caught up in life or just what? Good morning I'm Kandis and welcome to Its A Mom Life. My two oldest kids went for Easter break this year, they were gone for a whole week! So what did I do with my time? Well for the weekend we did Easter stuff, go ahead and read my blast from the past post, for the adventures. Now what about the next 5 days? I had a pretty big to do list happening, I feel I should of shortened it, however there were some stuff I just really needed done! I pushed myself this week to accomplish as much as I could in the end I'm pretty impressed. Lately I've been trying to feel proud of what I got done, instead of dwelling on what I didn't. I could do so much but if there is anything left, I feel I could of done more, which is silly as I can do a lot in a day! So, yes this is part of my summer goals is to slow down! So Monday, turned into a city run. Hubby had physio and it turned ...

Have you ever noticed how there is not a holiday where chocolate is not acceptable? Why is it that chocolate goes up in cost at the holidays? Hi good morning welcome to Its A Mom Life, I'm Kandis and I love chocolate. Well sweets for that matter, when it comes to will power I have none, when it comes to sweets! I love baking which does not always help. The only good thing is I can say it's healthier as I'm stuffing my mouth lol! I thought I would share how I made very easy, basic chocolates for Easter this year. This is how I melt all chocolate for baking also. I use a double boiling pot method! I do this way as chocolate burns easier then one thinks. This just makes it a little more fool proof as you melt the chocolate. For this method simply take 2 pots, one that will fit in the other. Add water to the bottom pot, place smaller pot in water. Heat on low to medium heat. Add your chocolate to the empty pot, stir while it melts. For these chocolates I used white ...

Ever wonder where the time goes? Think if I could go back to then? I had a blast from the past this weekend, and it was fun! Hi good morning and welcome to Its A Mom Life. This weekend was sure fun, the things that happened with only having the two little ones was a memory one. I say it like this because my last 2 kids are the same age difference as my 2 oldest ones. Saturday not only was everyone sleeping including me till 7:30 it was such a nice pace morning. Heading out around noon for a drive, we found ourselves an adventure! Meeting up with some friends and meeting new lead us to a drive in an army truck! Heading home at 5 with supper planned already from the morning it was not on schedule but with little ones it's ok! Heading into supper time, plans change yet again. For the better I think as we decide on left overs and just roll supper over to the next night. Since there is only little kids we got to kinda choose when to do Easter, so we will prep for it Sunday night i...

Hello and hoppy soon Easter! Welcome to this in the week life blog. I am excited to share my week, it was productive this round. Hopefully it will give you some motivation for some spring break cleaning! Make sure to follow for updates on more motivating cleaning coming as spring is here! After a great Sunday Prep Day, everything was set up for a great week, and it really was. Monday was filled with house work. Getting laundry done... yet again! House wiped down and floors cleaned, I was ready to move on. Monday is when I started tacking the van! With four kids it's always full of crumbs and grossness. I set out to at least get it vacuumed, and I did, it didn't get wiped out, but a good vacuum. That task that takes forever is a little easier with our van I can fold down all the seats, making it easier to vacuum. However it makes it longer as there is so much room under the seats when they are put up. So easier yes but more corners. But, it got done 👌💪I got it out of th...

Good morning everyone and welcome to Its A Mom Life. This is a funner blog, as it's about candy!! Well ok it's about the kids Easter baskets, but still candy lol. I had set out this year that they don't need much junk food 😂. Then like a kid in a candy store I went into bulk barn and got more candy then I thought. Do you have this problem that couple scoops really don't look like much in the bag? I also hit the dollar tree, for so much fun non candy stuff. This year is different as my 2 older kid's are not home this year for Easter. They are heading to their grandparents, so I still ended up getting stuff. I thought it would be a cute idea to have some Easter surprises on their pillows for when they got home. Of coarse I had to send something as I'm just that type of mom. So what to send what to keep at home. I found these adorable egg containers at the dollar tree and used them to put the candy in. This is what is being sent cause you send the candy an...

Hello and good morning welcome to Its A Mom Life. If your new go ahead and hit that follow button to join the fun and get notification of any new blogs. This month sure is just being a wonky one. With it being half over already all I think is where did my days go? I had set  out Monday with goals, and I was determined to do so. The last couple days I tried as much as I could to get some of the annoying tasks done. And you know what I actually got more done this week then I thought. Sitting back and looking at the lines threw my to do list, I'm happy. That's what counts right? The last three days were busy. I ended up getting: my floors handwashed,  laundry caught up once lol 🤷‍♀️  stuff out of the house and into storage,  my van partly cleaned out,  bedding washed  Clothes for the toddler sorted and put away And stayed up on my basic everyday cleaning.  With that was so much paper work that got filled out and faxed away! There is al...

Hello and good morning welcome to Its A Mom Life, if you're new make sure you go ahead and hit that follow button so you don't miss any fun here on the blog. Welcome back if you're a follower this was a busy week. Do you ever wonder sometimes just why you have your list's or routines? This week everything went wonky, as I had said in the last blog. The routines were not happening, I was doing the kids chores just to make sure it got done a little better, my list just kept growing, and not much was getting crossed off! All part of a busy mom schedule but still annoying. When Sunday was here and we were doing the prep for the week, I had decided I needed to prep me also, lol so I didn't over clean and I took a nap!😮 Now you see I sometimes will feel bad about this, as like I said my whole week was a flop. But, when mama isn't on her game lots of balls tend to drop! Happen to you? If your not on your game things just get hard, so yap I rested and when I got ...

Good morning everyone and welcome to Its A Mom Life. Today's is Tuesday and just such a busy one at that. Today in thought I would share my supper with you! It's a busy evening again here in the Blask house. With there being basketball practice and parent teacher conferences before supper, I thought why not run to the city also this morning to get a couple things for Easter, and do a quick grocery pickup! Have you tried grocery pickup? It truly is a game changer I think. With all this happening all before 5 pm, there isn't much time for much in between. So when in doubt bring the slow cooker out! I thought I would do up that red pork tenderloin that in had shared before, but we are going to try it in the slow cooker. This way I also have a supper plan for tomorrow also, they are going to have pull porked sandwiches.❤ With this recipe you need: pork tenderloin  1/4 cup soya sauce  2 tablespoons sugar  1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, cloves, ginger and garlic powder  ...

Hello everyone how are we today? My week sure has turned around! It's funny how little things can make or break it all or at least it seems like it. With being sick a couple days and things not working how it should of makes this mama a little out of it. I realize girls are emotional but add being sick and lack of sleep on top of stuff not working oh boy it gets crazy lol. So my week ended up being a little smoother, put on those big girl pants and got some stuff done. Also getting a little sleep, and a fixed washer life was looking up. 😁 My week ended up being productive on Wednesday I ended up getting all the clothes sorted and posted on line to be sold, got my kitchen sorta cleaned lol that is a everyday occurrence right! I also got more make up remover wipes made.I have a post on how to make these! Then I went to bed shortly after I finally got the baby to bed, what a fairly good night sleep will do! Thursday waking up feeling better was a great thing as I could breat...
