Full swing into our fall school routine with all three kids at three different school and we survived our second week! WOOHOO!
My youngest son started second grade in the new neighborhood school and he is really loving the tech-focused hands-on STEM curriculum.
But mostly, he loves riding his bike to school every day and the NO HOMEWORK policy.
I’m not sure who loves the “no homework” policy more: Liam or me. Seriously. I am so grateful for no more fighting and crying over homework and allowing him to play outside after school until dinner time.
Isn’t that how life should be for a seven year old?
A lighter workload means that we can all focus on adding more play time into our days, like more family bike rides. After all, work-life-balance and leading a fit life is an important lesson to learn early on.
Planning healthy meals is also an important life-skill and with that, here is my meal plan and dinner menu for the week.
