How to Have Fun with Back to School

How to Keep Things Fun for Back to School

August 26, 2020 · In: Lifestyle, Momlife

This post is sponsored by Nestlé, but all opinions are my own. 2020 Nestlé.

The summer is officially beginning to come to an end here with everyone getting ready for back to school. The fun doesn’t have to end though! Thanks to these ‘cool’ treats, we are planning to keep the fun going for back to school.

The unknown of back to school.

So many questions are surrounding the upcoming school year. Your children may be going to the school 5 days a week, a hybrid schedule, or possibly even only virtual/homeschooling. Whatever schedule your children will be following this school year, there is one thing that remains constant: how to make it fun for all!

Making Back to School Fun

One of the best ways to keep things easy-going while facing so many unknowns is to make sure you incorporate a little fun. The kids deserve it and so do we as parents! I am thankful when I have products on hand to do just that.  and Nestlé® are helping me keep the happy on hand this back to school year.

Cool treats for Back to School

Have Happy on Hand.

It doesn’t take much to make my kids giddy and excited to learn. Incorporating fun activities and crafts a long with what they are learning not only makes it more fun, but it also keeps them on task. They are not getting bored from sitting still with school work or homework. Providing them, and myself, a little break now and then is a must.

Snack break with ice cream and popsicles

My freezer is filled with all the fun thanks to Sam’s Club! I can easily grab theandfrom the freezer section at Sam’s Club, either in-store or via online order, pick them and transport them to my freezer. The Sam’s Club freezer bag makes all of this process even easier! I just keep my Sam’s Club freezer bag in my car for whenever my freezer is in need to be restocked.

Create an afternoon ‘cool’ treat snack break.

The perfect afternoon snack break is one that is both delicious and fun. Create a little snack tray with the . Then have the, which are made with real fruit accessible as well. I promise they will not be sitting out long enough to melt. They are honestly that good!

Outshine Popsicles

Another creative idea would be to connect whatever is being taught to the ‘cool’ treats themselves. Learning about colors or reading? Have your child spell out the word ‘ice cream’ while they are enjoying one of the Toll House Mini Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches. Maybe even have them talk about what different colors are created when mixed with certain colors while enjoying the Outshine Fruit Bars.

Back to School Fun with cool treats

Fill your freezer with fun for Back to School.

Take it from me, don’t let the unknown take away the fun for back to school. Find ways to still make it enjoyable and fun for all! Fill your freezer with Outshine Fruit Bars and Toll House Mini Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches to have happy on hand while making school time fun.

What do you do with these 3 things : @appalachian_ What do you do with these 3 things : @appalachian_cast_iron , LSU Football, and 1st tailgate of the season? You make a great recipe perfect for tailgating of course! This Handmade Carbon Steel Skillet from Appalachian Cast Iron is not only much easier to cook with compared to cast iron, each skillet is truly unique! The hammered texture is unique for each skillet, but the handle is even hand made and practical. With the precision grind of the cook surface, there is enough “tooth” for the seasoning to adhere - no worries of that seasoning flaking off like some carbon steel skillets. Also, you can personalize the bottom of the skillet!

Philly Cheesesteak Sliders
-1/2 white onion, diced
-1 red bell pepper, sliced
-1 1/2 cups sliced bella mushrooms 
-1 tbsp minced garlic
-1 lb shaved beef steak 
-~2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
-5-6 slices of provolone 
-salt/ pepper to taste
-Hawaiian Rolls

Add onion, red bell pepper, garlic to hot skillet and cook until tender, add mushrooms, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce and salt/pepper and cook down until mushrooms darken and are more tender. Add water as needed; remove from skillet and add seasoned shave beef to a hot pan. Add 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce and cook until meat is no longer pink. Add veggie mix back to pan and top with provolone. Allow to cook until cheese is melted. Serve on sliced Hawaiian Rolls!
