Classy Classic's By Kandis

Do you remember when you were a kid and summer was all you thought about? Comparing summer plans with with your friends, making plans, day dreaming of late nights and fun in the sun! When you came out of the day dream summer was over already and your mom was packing your school bag to head back already! Summers have always been a fun, busy time. I imagine kids these days feel the same, however now that I'm not the kid and the mom, I understand more of why my mom did certain things in the summer. Hi everyone and welcome back to another blog here on Classy Classic's By Kandis. I am a stay at home mom of 4 wonderful children full of more energy then the dang energizer bunny I tell ya. With all of this energy they sure get "board" a lot in the summer! Boy oh boy, I thought I heard mom I'm board a lot with them in school, get the  home for 24hrs a day, and you better have some stuff up the sleeve. With how quick summer flys by, and having appointments in th...

Can you believe the school year is done! It seems like they were getting their stuff ready and mama is following them around taking pictures of them in their new class room and at their desk. Outfits were being picked and lunches where being prepped! Now we are counting down the last hand full of school days, and getting end of year gifts done! Hi I'm Kandis and welcome to Classy Classic's By Kandis, this week's blog is for those gifts that get sent, that we tend to forget about till the last minute! I always think there is so much time to do end of year thank you gifts. 10 months, the kid's are in school! That's a long time to be with a teacher! I will show you what I have set up this year for the teachers! This is a fun way to personalize a gift on a budget at that. There is so many things that you can do, from gift cards to hand picked fun baskets. What do you do for  teahers? Do you give gifts? What is the price range you deal with? I have 3 teachers t...

Good morning and welcome back to Classy Classic's By Kandis. As a stay at home mom of 4 children of the ages of 10,8,2 and 5 months I have a kid in each stage right now,😥 and let me tell you something. As the babies were growing I look back on some days now and think I wish I would of been more patient about school days. When the first two were younger as there's a bit of a age gap in between the first two and the second 2, I remember I was excited to be getting that time when they were in school, to have that time to get stuff done, they would be great going to school and for some reason in my mind school days were going to be this great rainbow gummy bear feelings. Well..... As the 2 have been in school for a could years now as they will be heading into grades 4 and 5, I now think of how nice it was before we had this crazy school schedule. Way to want your cake and eat it to lol. School days get hard as once they start that is what it is then for many years to come. ...

Hi everyone and welcome to this weeks blog on Classy Classic's By Kandis!  This blog let me tell you is a little bit of a hot mess haha like me this week has been just go!  Don't think, don't over plan, just go! Sounds crazy right? I agree and I feel the effects of it I tell you. With the count down to last day of school on, schedules are winding down for activities and other priorities are arising, no wonder my coffee intake has increased haha. I made a decision to make a mind dump for the month. Yap the whole month! This will be helpful for the big tasks that will require short spirts over multiple days. I will of course be using my weekly planner, however with what feels like repeatedly rewriting the same tasks over and over, and feeling like I am accomplishing nothing....even tho as the basic chores still get done, to break the big tasks down into little ones over the week's, might be more motivating. That is where the June brain dump came into play, and I...

Good morning and welcome back to this weeks blog at Classy Classic's By Kandis! How has your week been? Sun is shining and birds are chirping, and don't forget the mosquitoes are biting! This week has been so busy, I realize I say this every week however this week has been more the busy. I have been pushing extra hard to get my May tasks completed! I am proud to say that I have completed them! What were these tasks, that has been following me all month? I got all my garden planted and tomatoe and pepper plant which are located out side my garden! I also have completely cleaned out our camper. I had moved everything and wiped top to bottom out. I also pulled all the dishes and washed them. Then I got everything put back in place. Let's start with the camper talk. I had used a vinegar and water solution for the outside of the cupboards and bleach water in the cupboards. I broke this up into stages throughout the month. The dishes were pulled out and put into a sled to ...

Have you ever looked at the clock and wonder what the heck happened? I sure have almost every day I think lol, I say this lots as my days swirl together. Days go blurry and time just flies out the door with my brain I think! Hi I'm Kandis and welcome to Classy Classic's By Kandis, as a stay at home  mom of 4 children and a wife to an amazing man for over 10 years, I am not sure why every year I am surprised when summer hours come into play and I'm thrown out of my routine! I have been sharing my routines this month as I try to revamp them for summer. As the kids are almost done school, things are getting ready to change fast for a couple months, so I don't get behind I like to do my routines up until school is done and my summer schedule comes I to play. I will be sharing that next month. However with this routine blog I will be focusing in my times from roughly 4:pm-8:00 pm. In reality it's usually 4pm or 5 pm and then to 8pm or 9pm. I say it this way because...

Hi and good morning welcome back, it's a great day here on Classy Classic's By Kandis.  This week's blog is for afternoon routine. This can be split up between many hours or a couple, it depends on how your afternoons works for you!  When it comes to the afternoon in my house I split it up, my first block is from 1:00 pm-4:00 pm then from 4pm-8pm.  So let's look at the first from 1:00-4:00 shall we!  My afternoon routine is set up this way because at 1pm is the latest that Masyn my toddler is up, by 1 it's nap time. If my stars line up then both little ones will nap at this time. So if both kids are napping at the same time I have a couple options here, depending on what season It is and what is on the to do list I will then try to do either my workout or specific cleaning that can only really be done with no children. Example for the month of May is a complete camper clean out.  So my workouts then tend to not happen as I try to work there instea...
