Classy Classic's By Kandis

Another year, another round of giving! Do you give out gifts for the kids extra people? This year is all about simple and thoughtful! Hi good morning and welcome to Classy Classic's By Kandis! Can you believe it's almost time for the jolly man to come? This year for the teachers we thought we would keep it clean, simple and cute. With the year coming to an end.... a very long emotional, stress testing year, I decided it's all about the giving, in a smaller way! My kids have 4 teacher gifts to give out this year. I am the mom that will put so much thought and extra into gifts that it almost become more then it should! So this year I went to the dollar tree and had it set out for about $5 a teacher. This may seem little but I really like how they are coming together! If the gifts seem "not done" that's because, well they are not! Hahaha. I wanted to get the blog set up tho to help with so e cute ideas for this holiday season when it com...

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...

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....

Might need to add silver! Good Morning everyone how are we today? Welcome to CLASSY CLASSIC'S BY KANDIS. I hope you had a great week! Fall is officially here. Leaves are changing, morning are frosty, birds are not singing happy warm songs! October is one of my favorite months! There is something about me for you! The air is crisp the scenery is so beautiful. My husband's birthday is the beginning of the month, thanksgiving and Halloween. There is so much fun in October! I love reasons to theme anything, to have a big gathering. Nothing beats a bbq and drinks with friends! So how is the foot you ask? September 25th I headed into the doctors bright and early. I got told I broke my foot! If you haven't had the chance to read it go have a boo. It's All I Wanted Was A Shower! So a week went by with mommy on the couch probably not as much as I should of but still lots.... especially for me! Healing food, and rest we set off for the healing week. What did the d...

I had my evening all planned out in my head! It was going to be great! Kids to bed, hang out with the hubby for a bit and shower followed by some planner time! Sounds like a amazing night.... Right? So what happened will blow your mind. I still can't get over it and it's making mommy a little ok a lot emotional! Hi good morning and welcome to Classy Classic's By Kandis. Oh the blog today is not what it was supposed to be! It was going to be that start to a beautiful 3 week layout of routines. Followed by a new updated block system. Now I'm sitting on the couch with a stupid cast on, waiting for October 2nd to come. We are heading out at 6:30 am to head to the hospital to get my cast changed or possibly off and into the boot! Yap mama fractured her foot!!! How you may ask? Well I'll tell you, you won't believe it, I still hardly believe it myself. Sitting on the bed about 9:30 all the kids are in bed, I always hang out for a bit before getting in...

It's funny how every year it can be the same! You know it's coming, you prep and prep, give yourself a self calm talk. Mark it down in the planner, but still get stressed thinking about doing it all. Hi I'm Kandis and welcome to Classy Classic's By Kandis! Every year in our town we get a "case lot sale". I stock pile what I can for the winter, this is also where and when I get my peaches! ❤ When I do peaches, the smallest batch that I purchase is 80lbs!😮 Yes, the lowest is 80lbs! Why so much, and what do I do with it all! Let's talk about stocking up on peaches! Well let's start at the beginning. The cases are 20lbs each, so get them loaded into the house, I then sort them, softener and still hard. These get sorted for time frames and what is being used for what. I do/ make with these: canned half peach jars, jam, peach leather, and of coarse some sliced for in the freezer for easy asses for mostly pies! Oh I love stocking up on pea...

When growing up the garden was always there. My mom always had a garden, if you had the room you grew a garden! That was how it was. We learnt never to say we were board, especially when mom was in the garden! You were not going to be board long, she made us help with the gross potato beatles! To this day I remember how gross they were and I am oh so thankful that I do not have them! I think it was the kind of potatoes that she grew. I remember getting into trouble for my best friend and me eating all her peas, or chewing up the green onions cause it made out spit green! Haha oh the memories in the garden. Those memories have changed a little as I am the one planning, planting, weeding and pulling, prepping and so on. With this said I could not imagine not having a garden. It's a lot of work, but the outcome can be so great. The years have changed and out weather is not the same.... by know means. It has almost been freezing here already and it's August. With t...

Good morning and welcome to Classy Classic's By Kandis! This past two weeks sure have been busy, with the not so nice August weather, trying to camp, while taking on a special secret mission it's gotten busier then normal. I have slipped on my meals and planning, while it really shows, I thought this would be the best time to eat down not only the fridge and pantry, but the freezers as well! This week as it will be full steam ahead I thought I would share our meals being pulled from the freezer and either combined to make a meal or used as a meal! With being on the go it is mostly going to be suppers. There will some other meals, however breakfast and lunch are usually something pulled from the fridge or panrty.  I am down the two oldest for a couple more days, so it's easy to feed the toddler. So if your ready I'm ready let's dive into this week's meals, and what I can do from the lost world of the freezers! 😂❤ So lets start with good old monday...
