Hellerskie!!!

Countdown to days for the kids to go back in School! I have check list that i always use before school starts. Its hard to organize school stuff especially when you are a working mom and or dad.

Here is my check list before school starts and it helps with our daily schedule.

1. Download your kids school calendar. All schools have school calendar that you can download the file and make sure you add those school days in your ical or google calendar. or whatever calendar app you use. Share this with your husband/wife/nanny/partner etc. Calendar invites are handy too, you can organize it and send them invites.

2. Print first day of school sign - i download mine from this site - https://www.iheartnaptime.net/updated-back-to-school-printables-k-12/

You will thank yourself for printing this sign and let your kid hold it while taking photos. Its fun to look back on how the kids grow with this first of day photos. Also you do the same print out for last day of school. (this was alyza's photo from last year's)

3. Reorganize your kids closet. go through their old clothes, summer/fall clothes. Donate or sell them. we usually give our kids clothes to family and friends. the winter stuff we donate/sell. I always reminisce how little they are when i sort their clothes.

4. Set your alarm clock 30 minutes in advance. we do this because we always snooze! and if you're clock is on time, and then you snooze, youre late! haha or just wake up on time which is so hard to do. My car clock is always 10 minutes in advance, so i know i have spare time if there was traffic or something.

5. Plan your kids snack, lunch and breakfast. you dont want a cranky kid sitting in your car on the way to school. our kids buy lunch at school so lunch is easier for us. Costco has great deals on bulk snack. just choose wisely. Dont forget to pack WATER!!! train your kids to drink lots

6. Plan your kids clothes, lay out what they will wear to school. since we live in colorado, weather is just crazy changing. I usually check the weather and then plan based if it is gonna be hot or cold day. bring an extra jacket/sweater in your car. and make sure your diaper bag/change of clothes bag in your car. just in case you need it! here is my post about whats in my diaper bag > http://www.marieblog.com/2015/01/whats-inside-my-diaper-bag.html

7. Set your kids backpack. Make sure you have the backpack all set before school starts.

8. Do you back to school shopping. here is my guide to do back to school shopping > http://www.marieblog.com/2017/07/online-back-to-school-shopping-cheers.html

9. Try to go to bed 30 minutes early everyday. This is our struggle every day. summer time, you go to bed late and wake up late. this year we will try to sleep early and wake up early. its hard to do this, i swear.

10. Print your summer photos. dont let them get store in your phone or in the cloud. make an album of all the summer activites/vacation you did. its a great way to end summer!

ps. these are my thoughts. all opinions are my own.

Hellerskie!!!

If you watch my previous YouTube videos (or not), you know that I am going to these weird tummy problems. It started after I gave birth to our son. I think my belly never go back the way it was before.

When I gave birth to our daughter, I was 157lbs then bounce to 107 like in a year after I gave birth to her. However, with our son, I was 154lbs and still struggling to maintain 126-130 weight. My weight goal is to be 110lbs again.

I seriously tried almost everything. I did juice cleanse. I did no meat diet. I did count my calories, until now I am counting calories. Ultra sounds, dieting, fasting etc. Anyway, these weird tummy problems are not going away. I did colonoscopy, endoscopy and many doctor visits. I feel so helpless and bloated all the time. It gets worst when I have my monthly period. I look like and feel like I am 3 months pregnant. I am just bloated!

I am writing this blog to remind myself I can do this diet. My doctor informed me to eliminate gluten and dairy. It has been 10 days now and I never felt so good! My belly is less bloated now.

I never knew no gluten no dairy diet will work for me. I am not going to lie, it is hard to eat with no dairy, no gluten. I know I am determined to keep up with this diet since I feel lot better within.

I am documenting this journey and filming videos. I will post it as soon as I hit my weight goal 110 lbs. I use an app called lose it, so far I am on the right track. The app says I will hit my goal before thanksgiving! I am excited for that.

For now, here is a picture. Me and my girlfriend Yvette sitting in the sand, enjoying the ocean breeze. I love this picture so much and I will look at this picture until I hit my goal, as a motivation picture that I can go back to be 110lbs.

Ps. Just writing my thoughts ;)

By the title of this blog, you know its almost that time of the year!!! Back to school!!!

The kids will be back in a few weeks, by this time, as a parent you should be thinking about back to school shopping. Or not. Depends on your schedule. I recommend shopping now before the stores get crazy or if you're like me, just doing online shopping.

The back to school online shopping works great for me. My husband and I have a bad experience shopping in stores. looking for specific brand, size and requirements that the teacher needed. When i was i kid, i remember i love back to school shopping since its all for me, new things that i'm excited about.

Anyway, i just want to share this website that works great for us. this was recommended by our kids school. not sponsored post, just being a mom sharing mom things!
