Classy Classic's By Kandis

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...

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...

Hi good morning and welcome to Classy Classic's By Kandis! I am a mother of 4 wonderfully energetic children. Two of my children go to school. My oldest she is in grade 5 this year and my oldest boy is in grade 4! Can you believe its the middle of September! This is marking our second full well in school! I was sitting down the other day, finally getting to watch some of my YouTube videos, and a lady who I love to watch... Sam from Happily A Housewife had a video on about school, and routines and getting back into it. As I was watching this, I thought I would do a blog on back to school. Link for vidoe: https://youtu.be/cNXx0HPXJTE Now, I decided this before but my ideas had changed as she said at the end of hers the first week goes smooth. Everything is on time and routines are smooth, and life is great. It's when after when things are going back to normal, and it's not as new is when you can see if your routines work for you! Now I agree, however I am w...

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...

Oh back to school! Back to school! It's not even to prove that we are not fools! Haha good show... Oh boy anyways, hello and good morning welcome to Classy Classic's By Kandis. Can you believe it's August already! I sure cannot, where did the time go, all those summer plans, and hot day as laying around catching a tan, and late night fires. Now all of a sudden we are getting the kids to try on their clothes and out with the old and getting a list ready for the new. Looking over the supply list and mapping out the best way to get into the city for it all and then get out. How long do you wait till you start getting their stuff ready? We have filtered threw all the clothes and got a list started for supplies. I try to have some going already, however this has proven to be a different summer! I know I need to do the school supplies which we don't need much, as our school does a program where you can order some or all and it will be ready and waiting for them...

Growing up I always remember my mother telling me " there is not enough hours in the day!" Growing up I would always think there is too many hours in the day! Growing up I never understood why mothers said this! Now that I am a mother I get it! There is never enough hours in the day! When you get to your to do list, and start crossing things off, the time sure flies! Hi I'm Kandis and welcome to Classy Classic's By Kandis! This week's blog is all about not tackling that to do list, but to sit back and look at your done list. As a mother of 4 children ages 10 down to 6 months, there is always something needing to be done! As busy as the kids keep me, add a husband, garden and house work, there is very little time in between for the little things in life. There is always something and someone who needs me somewhere. There was a vlog from Kimmy on she's in her apron where she talked about this done list, and with summer already coming to the en...

Mom I'm hungry! Mom I'm thirsty! Mom they won't share! Mom they drank it all! Mom Mom Mom! It doesn't seem to matter where you are or what they are doing the name mom gets thrown around like a frisbee at a dog park always going in circles! Then to make everyone happy, but keep everything even and fair is almost as easy as trying to go to the bathroom by your self! Hahaha. Kids are always needing something, and trying to get fast food when your out and about gets pricey! We can drop $60.00 no problem to feed everyone doing fast food! That is crazy, you know what I could purchase and make from a grocery store more than a burger and fries that's for sure! Hi I'm  Kandis I am a stay at home mom for the last 10 years, with 4 children now and I am no stranger in snack attacks! With summer break here and we are on the road oh so much I thought I would share some tips and tricks I have picked up along the way to pack some food for in the car to sav...

Hi and good morning welcome to Classy Classic's By Kandis! I am excited to have you here today for this new blog! For those who don't know me I'm Kandis a stay at home mom and wife! I have been married for 11 years this summer and have 4 wonderful energetic children ranging from the ages of 10 to 6 months old! There is always something to do, something to pack or prep. With summer break on we tend to be the family that will at random times decide to go somewhere off to the lake, or a drive or take off the next day to I dunno some city for some appointment or meeting or task! This means packing all the time, or be prepared for that spir of the moment decision. With 4 kiddos there is lots that needs to be remembered. With the older ones they are capable of taking care of most of their stuff.... or you would think so haha. There is always something that is forgotten, or shoved somewhere that can not be located. There is diapers, wipes, food, drinks, stuff to do i...
