It's been a while, but I'm linking back up with The Teaching Trio for the Sunday Scoop!  I always love this link up, & it helps get me centered for the week to come.


This week I'm prepping for data day, class simulations, and a presentation. I'm hoping to finish & post my FIRST EVER "Peek @ My Week" over at Mrs. Wills' Kindergarten. I'd also like to make some progress on planning a Chicago-land teacher-blogger weekend soiree!  EXCITINGLY, I finished 2 new sets of work stations (math and grammar) & got them posted in my TPT shop.  WOO HOO!  Right now, those products, plus all holiday items, and my stationery products are 15% off through Thursday!  Read more about my scoop below and pop on over for a great sale in my shop!

Sooooo......I've been totally M.I.A.  Between hectic schedules in October, Halloween havoc, feeling yucky from allergies/sinus, and cranking out 7 new products for TPT, I had to put blogging on the back burner.  This weekend, I RESURFACED! Check out my Sunday Scoop list below, & DON'T MISS a sneak peek at one of my fun new products & info on my "We Survived Halloween" sale at the end of the post!

We had a FABULOUS weekend with my parents in town visiting for my mom's 60th birthday! They arrived Thursday evening, spent all day taking care of Gray, and then we enjoyed a weekend of lounging, decorating the house for Halloween, a scrumptious birthday dinner, and lots of LAUGHS! Now...
it's back to the grind. No better way to kick off a new week than with the Sunday Scoop!

Sunday Scoop,  Meal Prep Update, & Lunches Preview

After a weekend downtown, including a concert, trip to EATALY {aka-food Heaven},  and lots of other fun, I needed this Sunday Scoop just to get my mind back on track to start a new week!

See my 3-2-1 below, then check out an update on my future freezer meals post & a sneak peek at weekly lunch prep in the Petlak house!

// Freezer Meal-Prep Mania //

I received SUCH a surprising and overwhelming response to my sneak preview of our make-ahead freezer meals that I decided to do a post {or two} about it. HOPEFULLY I'll be able to have at least the first part up live this week! 

// Lovin' My Lunches this Week //

I L-O-V-E food.  Good food. Eating well is an important part of my life...but that can be tough with crazy schedules, teaching stress, and a toddler. This year one of my goals has been to prep lunches ahead of time. I think I'll craft some posts on that topic, too...as soon as I finish my freezer meal posts! For now....take a looksie at my jars of salad for this week and goodie bags (non-perishable items) to accompany hubby's sandwiches and pasta salads for this week. Y-U-M!

Tonight I'm linking up again with The Teaching Trio for Sunday Scoop!  This linky is the perfect way for me to kick off a busy week of school, family, and blogging  each Sunday!

//  make-ahead Freezer Meals Mania  //

Yesterday I stocked up on ingredients, prepped, and packaged an entire freezer full of delicious dinners! Over the years, I've experimented with different weeknight meal plans, have tried services like Dinner by Design, and now make my own freezer meals. Doing so keeps our family fed with healthy meals, without losing my mind!!! Let me know if you're interested in more details or a future blog post on how to stock your own freezer with make-ahead meals! Sneak peek pics below!
