5 Mom Hacks for November
1. Thanksgiving Prep Made Easy:
November often means gearing up for Thanksgiving. Streamline your holiday prep by creating a master shopping list well in advance. Take advantage of early sales and discounts to stock up on non-perishable items. Consider preparing and freezing some side dishes ahead of time, allowing you to enjoy a stress-free Thanksgiving Day with your loved ones.
I know there are usually traditions with the food served in your home for Thanksgiving, but the recipes from Six Sisters Stuff is looking look absolutely incredible this year. I might have to add one or two them to the feast of food this year.
2. Seasonal Wardrobe Swap:
As the temperature drops, it’s time to switch out the kids’ wardrobes. Save time in the morning rush by organizing clothes the night before. Set out complete outfits, including accessories, so your little ones can easily get dressed independently. This simple hack minimizes morning chaos and ensures everyone leaves the house warmly dressed for the fall weather.
After going through all the clothes, you may find that there are items you don’t need anymore. Think of a place you could take the clothes to donate or find a local fundraiser. This is a season of giving and what better way to get your kids involved than with them donating the clothes that they used to wear.
3. Immune-Boosting Snacks:
With colder weather comes the increased risk of colds and flu. Keep your family healthy by incorporating immune-boosting snacks into their diets. Create a snack station in the fridge filled with pre-cut fruits, veggies, and yogurt. This makes it easy for kids to grab a nutritious snack on their own, promoting healthy eating habits.
I came across this snack drawer Abby from Babbling Abby created in her fridge and have a feeling the bottom drawer of our fridge will soon look like this too.
4. Cozy Reading Nook:
Embrace the longer evenings by creating a cozy reading nook. Set up a dedicated space with soft blankets, pillows, and a warm light for your kids to unwind with a good book. Encouraging a love for reading not only provides entertainment but also helps develop important cognitive skills.
If you are looking for tips of decorating spaces and creating a cozy reading nook, I have always loved Brooke’s style over at Nesting with Grace. She has created the coziest book nooks in her home that are so cute!
5. Nature Scavenger Hunt:
Take advantage of the crisp fall weather by organizing a nature scavenger hunt. Create a list of items for your kids to find, such as colorful leaves, acorns, or pinecones. This not only gets them outdoors and active but also provides an opportunity for education as they learn about the changing seasons and nature’s beauty.
