Lunch in a crunch

“Mom! Where’s my lunch?” The fight begins the minute the alarm clock goes off. Whether you’re a working mom or stay-at-home mom, your day is crowded at the starting gates and jets go as fast as a quart at the Kentucky Derby. As you run to get the kids to school, you toss some goodies packaged in a paper bag and call it lunch. You promise yourself that tomorrow you will pack a better one.

Starting today, say goodbye to the departure gates and hello weather! All you need is a little time over the weekend to plan your week strategically. First, you need to make all of your sandwiches ahead of time and freeze them. This will save you a lot of time each day! Start by making a whole bar of sandwiches and store them in the freezer. Every morning, all you have to do is pick up the treats and toss them in a lunch bag. For a well-balanced lunch, pack a sandwich, a washed apple, crackers with sliced ​​cheese, bottled water, and a napkin. Viola! You have created a healthy lunch in minutes!

Being on the go is part of a working mom’s life, but remember that you don’t need to feel like you’re waiting to walk through the exit doors every morning. With a little pre-planning, you can glide into your morning with the added comfort of knowing that one of your many daily tasks is now complete. Now is the time to plan dinner!
