Sunday Prep Time

Sunday is our day to prep for the week. I'm sure this ritual is not unique to our family. If laundry doesn't get done and meals aren't made, our whole week is off! I would love to know what y'all do to get your meals together. What do you cook that keeps well throughout the week? Below are a few of our easy go-to's...

Quiche!
5 large eggs
1 cup of frozen tri-peppers
some sliced ham, chopped
seasonings
Mix it up!
Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes or so.


Broccoli and Beef
1 trader joe's frozen bag 
1 cup of jasmine rice cooked
Done!


Chicken Pot Pie
1 crockpot
Frozen peas and corn, about `1 cup of each
1 cup of chopped carrots
3 frozen skinless boneless chicken breasts
1 cup of chicken broth (Trader Joe's has an awesome box of 12 individual packets of concentrated chicken broth)
Seasonings
Everything goes in the pot for 6 hours on low except for the pancake mix
The chicken comes out once done and is chopped up, then places back in.
A tablespoon of cornstarch is thrown in.
Then a cup of pancake mix with just enough water added to form dough is spread out in dollops on top. Back in the crockpot for another hour. .
Done!



 
I like to make sandwiches for the girls for lunch and use cookie cutters to make them fun.  If we do ham/cheese, I save all the ends and put them in the freezer in a ziplock bag. Then we make a strata (an Italian baked omelet with bread) for Saturday morning breakfast.  I also prepack applesauce and then throw in a stick of stringed cheese and one cookie. Cass likes sliced bell peppers because they are crunchy so sometimes we throw those in. 




Not pictured are spaghetti, PB&Js, and salmon rice bowls. Would love some other ideas on things that are quick, healthy and tasty!

After you clean your room...

This evening Cassidy revealed to me a small secret to keeping her occupied. After dinner she asked me if she could watch a show. We don't have tv, but we do have netflix through the wii on our tv and we watch all the greatness that PBS and Nickelodian have to offer! Except for Caillou because I think he's kind of whiny. Anyway, she gets to watch limited amounts of Diego, Dora, Dinosaur Train, Super Why, Word World, etc and sometimes we throw in some Cosby Show for good measure. She'll pick two shows and watch one, 20 minute episode of each and then we call it good. Well tonight when she asked for a show, I told her she could watch one episode of her favorite after she cleaned her room. She went into her room and as she started putting toys away, she started playing with them. She'd go to put books away and start "reading" them. Twenty minutes later she'd start putting crayons away, then start drawing with them. Ten minutes later she'd start putting awa...

Dancing

Cassidy loves to dance. So far, any type of music gets her going! In this video we were cleaning the kitchen when she decided to break out. When she saw the camera she started saying cheese because she thought it was a real camera. I hope you can see it!

NASPA @ NOLA 2025

I am very excited to get to serve on the annual conference team for NASPA 26 in KC! As part of the planning team, we have several onsite meetings. One is at this year's conference to be in transition with this year's team. Several of my staff members were able to attend the conference as well. Below are some photos with friends and colleagues who I was so happy to reconnect with!  The rest are notes I took from a few sessions. I as going to delete them, then thought, y'all might be interested in some of the random things always on my mind and in process. Take a peek! Also, NASPA stands for National Association of Student Personnel Administrators. While there opportunities all year long to engage with different groups and regions, in person and online, the annual conference is the premier event where you can learn and hang out with over 6,500 of your peers in higher ed work!  Notes: The balance of crisis management and change management is ongoing. Rest is essential. Decisio...
