I’m a busy mom. Probably more so right now. I’m almost half way through an 11 day stretch at work. All 3 of my boys started their football practices (one in youth, one in middle school, and one in high school football) That means 3 different practices, and very soon 4 different days a week for games. My oldest son starts football camp next week, my husband’s aunt is coming in from Massachusetts this weekend, we’re having a birthday party for my niece, and I’m making the cake for her party. I also have my blog, which I enjoy. But sometimes I wonder when I will have time to do anything else like shower..or eat.

As much as I’d like to, I don’t have time to make a sit down breakfast for everyone. I like to have things around the house that the kids can eat for a quick breakfast or snack. Fresh fruit and things like Jimmy Dean® Stuffed Hash Browns make it easy for the kids to grab breakfast on the go.

Jimmy Dean® Stuffed Hash Browns are warm crispy hash browns filled with Jimmy Dean meats & cheeses all in one stuffed form with 9g of protein.

I found Jimmy Dean Stuffed Hash Browns at Walmart in the freezer section. I thought they’d be perfect with our football life right now. My son was able to warm one up this morning and eat it on the way out to his heat acclamation. I dropped him off and drove myself to work. It was good to know he had a warm breakfast before his conditioning. It didn’t take any time at all he just used the crisping sleeve and popped it in the microwave for 2 minutes. Moms and dads, your teenager can make their own breakfast. Maybe you’ll actually have a couple minutes for yourself in the mornings when school starts!

My family and I are counting down the days to our vacation in July. This year we are headed to Topsail Island in North Carolina. We’ve never been there but we’re so excited. I’ve read nothing but good things about it in my researching.  Have you ever been there? I’d love some recommendations for food, things to do, etc.

We went to a local lake recreation park that has a little beach to kind of tide us over (no pun intended). The kids had fun but now we really can’t wait to head to the beach!

My 4 kids are all talking about what they want to take on the trip and what they want to do on the beach.  My 12 year old tells me today that he has a kite and he wants to fly it on the beach.  Then of course my 7 year old says “I don’t have a kite!”

My 3 year old wants to know if she can build a sandcastle.  She just love playing in the sand.  Both my older boys were asking if we had a beach ball because they thought we had one but we apparently don’t. Or we had one and they busted it a while ago. And I’m always worried about keeping my valuables safe while on the beach.  I went to Oriental Trading trading thinking they were the best place to get some of these things checked off the list but actually, I was able to check them all off the list.

How about a Giant inflatable beach ball that measures 30 inches! 30 inches, that’s like 2.5 ft.  Would be easier to keep track of!

For myself, hubby, and my older boys I found these super cute Dolphin Beach Safe Containers!

For my 7 year old that wanted his own kite, they had these cool Shark kites.  Only $11.99 for a dozen!  Him and all his siblings could have one. We’d have plenty for back ups or maybe a random act of kindness on the beach!

Oriental Trading have sand pail and scoop sets. I found so many things though like frisbees, sunglasses, visors, squirt guns, fans, totes, and lots of things that would make a day at the beach more fun and comfortable.

Now if you’ll excuse me.  I think I have some ordering to do.  And don’t forget to tell me your recommendations for Topsail Island, NC!
