Revamping Brown Bag Lunches
The start of school is just around the corner and for many people that means chaos during which priorities can get neglected. Admitedly for those first few years of switching my children from homeschool to public school I felt completely lost, and during that time a lot of my healthy habits fell lower on my priority list. But, little by little and one by one I am starting to reclaim them. Now that I work outside the home half the week, healthy homemade meals are one of those things that I have really struggled with.
I'm not hungry at 5:00 a.m. when it's time to decide what I'll be having for two out of my three meals for the day, and I'm so tired by the time that 6:00 p.m. rolls around and I walk through my door again that I don't care what I eat, as long as I can eat it quickly and then go to bed, which is why I am more likely to give in to processed convenience foods at these times.
Processed foods contribute to a host of health problems and I would rather avoid them as much as possbile. The best way to combat the stress, fatigue, and indecision that can lead to junk food overload instead of nourishing homecooking is to have a plan and stick to it. Which is why, I thought it would be nice to share with you a week's worth of my easy to prepare lunches that are satisfying and healthy. *Unfortunately, I did not take beautiful, well-lit photos of my meals, just snapped a quick pic at my desk or kitchen counter before chowing down, so please forgive the quality of the photos. I also am not going to discuss my portion sizes or calorie content. These are the amounts at which I feel full, they may not work for everyone and that's ok. This is what works for me and has for over two decades. So, take the ideas if you wish and tailor them to your portion and calorie needs. No comments necessary.

Bernie, Babe
Bernie is back and putting out new prints all the time, but some of the old styles still have my heart. I've been on a Bernie Dexter kick for the past year or two buying up past favorites before they disappear forever, which is why I bought this red kitten print, a long time favorite and ISO, and have already worn it twice this summer. This zipper sleeveless shirt dress is probably one of my top two favorite Bernie styles.
