This mama knows how to feed a family! Aww, they are so cute! ❤
I don’t have kids, don’t pack lunches. I’m a college student. But I love these videos?
Me too.
Because family vibes always feel good. :)
Hey, I’m 74, no longer pack lunches, don’t cook large meals but here I am. Addicted like everyone else!
Need me some old school frugal fit mom!! Loved this one. For the lunch ideas, and cute family moments 😊
I finally cleaned out plastic containers and lids after almost a year. I had 30 lids and only 18 containers. Double and triple checked before I tossed extra lids. Now 2 days later I have an extra container. It is a conspiracy let me tell ya🤣
I know this was 9 months ago but this made me laugh so hard 😂😂😂😂😭
Like missing sovks
Love that the boys ride to school together how cute!
Those children are so precious. Bless them Lord.
Love that the boys rode to school together, further more that they can ride their bikes to school.
Very very cute how they ride their bikes to take care of their little brother!! Great job guys!!
Your kids are such good eaters. Mine used to be when they were younger. I miss that.
Working my way through your oldest videos. Love seeing your kid's lunches, and the great variety you provided for them!
Beautiful family! kinda bittersweet watching you and Haley bc it reminds me of my mom and i's relationship before she passed, but still enjoyable. Been loving the videos 😊
I loved this video!! My daughter is training for a marathon and I need new ideas for her. Seeing Hayley's lunch and snacks on game night where really helpful. THANK YOU! 💖
Thank god for this video..it's definitely helping with being stuck with homeschooling until the real school's open..thank you
Hailey looks soooooo much like Dave in her expressions. So sweet.
I’m definitely following Haley food ideas bc I play volleyball to and I never have enough 😭💘
That's my kid in the fall. VXCC band, jazz band and choirs with drama club. A whirl wind until beginning of January. Just choirs and jazz band now. We get free lunch at school. I'll be photographing a water fall Thursday. Won't start hiking again until April. Too icy. I do like this for my 10 year olds snack at school.
Lol, I send lunches, and have for so, so many years..... my kids often stay after for sports etc., me, I sent an extra small sweet, extra protein bars or string cheese, and water...
Peanut butter balls are an excellent and easy thing for someone like Hailey. Peanut butter + honey + some kind of ground dry fruit. Or nuts. Mix it up, make balls and pop them in a container. It's instant energy. It's perfect for all lunchboxes really.
Wnj
My son leaves his snack bowls at school all the time. After me nagging for him to bring them home, a little pile of 6 or 8 tiny bowls end up on the counter.😉
Ahh the Tupperware mystery! Always more kids than bowls! 😆 love your videos
Haley - have you made butterfingers before? Give it a try. Melt a 12-16 oz bag of candy corn in the microwave - 30 second spurts, stir, repeat until a solid mid orange color, stir in an entire container of the same weight creamy peanut butter (12-16 oZ) stir quickly until completely combined. spread thinly on a silpat sheet. cool. melt a huge chocolate bar double boiler style (I buy one of those huge bars from TJs, I don't know the size, but it's perfect - maybe a pound of chocolate). break the cooled butterfinger and dip into the melted chocolate.
Loved it! Thanks for sharing! My daughter is 8 and is playing her second season of volleyball and she loves it! I’ve shown her the videos of your daughter playing that you put on IG and she wants to be like her. So thanks for sharing and providing a Godly family example!
Oh yay! I hope she continues to enjoy it!
I love it 🥰 such a sweet family. Great 👍 lunch 🥙 ideas 💡 I would love ❤️ to see this again it was fun to watch
Fixing lunches every day seems like such a hustle! 😳 I got enough work fixing my own lunch box. lol Luckily shool lunches are free in schools over here. Makes things SO much easier. And no, it’s not just pizza and chips. It’s real cooked meals (often two dishes plus a vegatarian option to choose from) plus salad bar, bread, milk etc.
You're doing amazing! I'm trying to up our kid lunch game.
Has anyone ever mentioned you are a real life version of the mom from Modern Family on Netflix lol!!!!!!! I love your videos >_< You sound just like her and you're just as hyper too!
Wiw!! Where were you 20 yrs ago?! These are awesome lunches! So Creative so much variety. My oldest daughter(30) now., has had a peanut allergy since kindergarten. It was quite challenging. You gave lucky kiddos( and hubby)!
The popcorners are delicious; they sell them at my local Dollar Tree.
Ryan is seriously sooooo cuuuteeeee
Hey Christine! Can you tell me how you do your Spanish brown rice in the instant pot? How much rice, and how much broth? Plus one can of rotel, right? How long do you set it for?
I’m glad that I’m not the only one who does peanut butter or lunch meat sandwich thing on a random hamburger bun.
Awe, sweet ending!
Yumm going to try the turkey and cheese roll up. And that Mexican rice!
I love those sandwhich containers I use ine for my kid as well
Thanks for the lunch ideas. I have to pack our 3 kids lunch and 2 snacks 5 days a week.😁
Love the lunch ideas. God bless
Thank you for the ideas!! Love how simple they are !!!
Wow that's slot of food to figure out. I can't keep enough in the house or two people.
Could literally watch this woman do anything 😂
I don't even have kids, I'm a kid myself (kidding, but waaaaaay far from having a family myself) but I just adore your videos
I’m almost 51, and my brain is still convinced I’m 17. (It argues about that with my body on a regular basis.) :)
I so wish that my boy could ride his bike to school. Too cute.
Loved this video
Nice to see normal kid's school lunches. I don't know any parent in real life that packs those bento style lunches for their kids. We just pack a sandwich, a fruit or veggie, small bag of chips and a couple cookies with a bottle of water.
Sara Bosworth I pack the bento style, but I don’t cut the cheese into stupid designs, my kids get (and like) almost the same thing every day- carrot sticks, celery sticks, cucumber slices in the medium portion, apples and grapes in the next smaller one, either a sandwich or muffin in the biggest part, some homemade trail mix in the 2nd smallest and sometimes a sweet treat in the littlest spot... I make them for 2 days at a time and store them in the fridge. They’re great
I still do 😊. For 2 years now and I love all the separate sections. I don't really get too creative anymore because I find that certain foods get too smoothed and my son would just end up not eating them. For the dessert, I make a large batch of cupcakes and pancakes and put a frozen one in and it's perfect for the lunch time. It's all about planning ahead 👍.
I love it! Great job momma!
My 6 kids are tight like this. It’s awesome.
Such a beautiful family 😊
Good morning christine and fam great lunches have a wonderful day 😄💕🙋
Great lunches 👍👍 Yum x
Great lunched and I'm digging the rice bowls! All your kids are terrific, so sweet of the boys to ride with lil brother. ♥
beautiful family
I'm not sure what your daughters caloric needs are as a young athelete. But a really good carb load would be low sodium v8. I use that as a powerlifter before a workout. Generic is super cheap. And it's carbs with minimal sugar. Also frozen strawberries are a great carb because they're still low glycemic. So some frozen strawberries with the banana would be a fast burning carb with a slow burning carb. Or even greek yogurt with those 2 in a blender!
May i ask where did you get those lunch bags from? They are to cute and id love to get my son one.
Great video
I remember taking to school only pb&j and one piece of fruit so much more verity today
My husband loses Tupperware. It's so frustrating! Hey do you know where all the sandwich boxes are? No. Welllllll you're the only person who packs a lunch sooooo??? I finally ordered new meal prep containers and food storage containers on Amazon. I just haven't been brave enough to empty the one drawer and 2 cabinets of Tupperware to purge them.
Just wondering if your kids drink something else during the day like water bottle etc especially the athlete
Oh to be young, active, and have an awesome metabolism!
I don't have kids but I just love your videos.
Now I’m craving a PBJ. 😁
I don't need kids! I LOSE ALL THE TUPPERWARE MYSELF😣
I have never seen a butterfinger cup in Canada sadly
Great lunches! Great video! Great family! Thanks!!! :D
You are a good mother :)
Well isnt ANDREW your tiny twin!! 😍😍😍
My grown daughter took a 9x13 pan of something to a party and left it there as a hostess gift??? I did not deal well!
What is your discount store called? I don’t know if we have one where I live
I use the fruit/yogurt pouches as ice packs by the time its time to eat they are thawed but still cold.
Great video!
I’m enjoying your “Haul” videos but haven’t seen you buying items like the Capri Suns and small bags of chips. The kids lunches seem expensive. Are you getting deals on drinks and snacks? Also, those Amy Pesto Bowls are spendy. Did you get a deal on those?
Yes, very cheap when I buy them. I only get the Capri sun boxes at .99 or less per box. The Amy's bowls were given to us so I didn't pay for them. :)
Great lunches!!
You can send peanut butter To school??
Yes, our schools are fairly small and don’t have restrictions
@@FrugalFitMom wow how cool. Here everything is restricted lol
@@isabellebreton8284 My elementary was restricted but just by classroom to classroom depending if they had an allergy in the room. I guess it’s safer to just no say nuts though :/
Does Hailey have access to a microwave in High School? Great looking lunches!
Yes. In this and a few other videos I've watched, she's mentioned that Hailey was going to heat up food she's given for lunch.
I'm honestly surprised that the school doesn't give you a hard time about what you pack for lunches. My son's school has strict guidelines for what can and cannot be packed for their lunches and snacks, which is a little frustrated to be honest. So I'm glad to see that you can pack them what you want without getting a hard time, or note asking you not to bring that again -_- we live out in the boonies where it's big pork country and they force milk at his school as well..
Aside from allergies, what guidelines do they have? Honestly I am surprised that there isn't a nut allergy thing here but so far it hasn't been an issue.
@@FrugalFitMom We can send our kids with peanut butter and nut products to school, there is just a separate area for them to sit while eating them. Last year for kindergarten I sent him to school with a lunchable that he had earned, the chips were apparently not allowed as well as the little sweet treat from either candy or cookies. I found out after the fact that chips, cookies and candies are not allowed as it is not part of a healthy balanced lunch or snack..yet they don't send home any information about what is and isn't allowed to be brought to school, obviously soda isn't, but the specialized preschool and daycare that he went to had a full list of what was and wasn't allowed to be brought in, and if some thing was by accident, they couldn't eat it until they left for the day instead. One annoying thing is that with the school lunch program, the children are not offered water as an alternative to drinking milk, and cannot bring their own water with them to lunch of they are having school lunch vs home lunch.
Where do you live?? I would HATE those restrictions! No water?? That is ridiculous!
@@FrugalFitMom In the middle of nowhere in Maine. It's very frustrating, and in order for him to even get water or non-dairy milk at lunch that is provided by the school, I need to get a doctors note stating that he cannot have that, if there is a medical reason behind it..
This it say Micover staff add a 1.00 minute in the microwave
YES! My kids constantly lose Tupperware AND forks!?!🤷🏻♀️ #VBMomsUnite🏐
Love your videos! I am from Australia , and what in the world is bear spray? Haha
It's like a pepper spray x 1000 to save your life from a charging bear. :)
@@FrugalFitMom oh wow how scary /interesting i have NEVER seen a bear except a koala at the zoo ofcourse 😛
My mismatched Tupperware lids come back as random socks. It’s physics.
I'm dying!!! LOL!!!
Great lunch video.
I'm surprised your children's school permits peanut butter. I know that most schools, particularly elementary schools, are peanut-free zones.
💕
Back up a second - bear spray?! What IS that?! Am I mishearing and it's a brand of mosquito spray or something or is she actually gonna use it against bears as in huge furry animals that growl?!
Nope, it's basically pepper spray designed for bear attacks. You use it if a bear charges. it blinds them so you can get away.
@@FrugalFitMom Oh my goodness, really? Wow. I didn't even know that existed! In Europe, meeting a bear is highly unlikely, especially in any area that I'd hike in - a wild boar is about the most dangerous creature you could encounter here. Wow. Glad you came back ok everytime so far!
I thought I'd learn about creative ways of cooking around restrictions, but that is completely new information too. Thanks for taking the time to answer! (Just discovered your channel, so watching out of order and old and new videos mixed up.)
I thought being frugal is not buying small bags of seperate chips but buy a big one and put kids some in a small bag
@3DogMom i probably did
Bear spray? How about revolver? Sorry, I don't play games with grizzlies. I've know folk who were mauled. I love these videos. Lots of great ideas. You're kids are wonderful. Really good kids. God bless
I'm always surprised to see schools still allow kids to bring nut products to school. That hasn't been allowed here in over 20 years. There are days I wish I could just make a PB sandwich. 🤷♀️🥜
OUFFF all carbs and sugar :(
It's so weird y'all can bring peanut butter. We have a peanut ban at our schools in Wa.
Why is it called a cutie
munna it’s a brand name for an easy-peel clementine in the US
Ok, so are you vegitarans? Didn't see any meat/ sandwiches.
Turkey and cheese roll up day 5
Too much junk food and carbs and not enough protein. Where are the vegetables?
I think you have lost some weight.❤️🇨🇦👌☀️🤗
Indeed I have. :)
You should wash your kids’ fruit and remove the stickers.
I S L A N D B A B Y maybe they do it themselves 🤷♀️
