My planning and prepping is more crucial than usual this week – trying hard to keep myself on track with the kids unexpectedly out of school…we are so proud of and grateful for our teachers who are out fighting for education funding in Arizona! #RedForEd!
It’s hot already here in Phoenix – as usual for this time of year – so I’m making a transition to cold lunches for the week, and moving away from soups and stews for a while.
