Classy Classic's By Kandis

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...

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...

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...

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...
