School-Day Lunch Preparation 101

by The Hat Team


It’s that time of year again. Back to school. Whether your children are headed back to their school, or you have set up a classroom at home, it is important to maintain a routine. And that includes preparing healthy, nutritious lunches. Curb chaotic mornings by organizing your kitchen in a way that makes lunch prep a breeze!  The following tips will help:

  1.  MAKE A LIST

Do not just wing it.By creating a menu of items that you will use for your kids’ lunches, you will not only save time in the mornings (because you will not spend time trying to decide what to pack in their lunch bag), you will also have a handy, dandy shopping list for when you go grocery shopping.Here are some school lunch ideas to get you started. School Lunch Ideas

  1. MAKE YOUR FRIDGE LUNCH BOX FRIENDLY

Organize the space in your refrigerator to make lunch prep quick and easy.Clear plastic bins with labels can be used to divide things up by type of food/drink or by day of the week.Experiment with these ideas and find the one that works best for you. Organizing Your Fridge

  1. CREATE A STAGING CENTER

Have a designated spot in the kitchen for lunch prep.A basket or bin for lunch bags/boxes will mean that you will never be frantically searching for them in the morning.Have your kids empty them of containers/trash when they get home from school and place them in the designated area. Keep containers handy and make sure you have enough counter space to accommodate everything you will need.

  1. HAVE A SUPPLY STATION

Clean out a drawer or cabinet near your staging center and keep all your lunch prep supplies in one spot.Stock up on baggies, containers, napkins, straws, plastic utensils, foil, saran wrap etc.

  1. STOCK PANTRY WITH “SCHOOL LUNCH ONLY” ITEMS

Avoid the frustration of going to grab something for your child’s lunch only to discover there is none left.Create an area in your pantry that is only for school lunches.An over-the-door hanging shoe rack is a great space-saver and can be used to store school snacks.

Whether you prepare your children’s lunches, or you have them do it themselves, being organized will make the process easier and quicker.

Improve Your Health With These Houseplants

by The Hat Team


Even in the best of times, people spend a lot of time indoors.  And while it is important to get outside to get fresh air, you may want to do something to improve the quality of the air IN your home.  If you enjoy gardening, you don’t have to limit it to outdoors.  There are lots of houseplants that will aid in the removal of pollutants floating around your home.

  • English Ivy – Used as a houseplant, this elegant beauty is excellent for removing harmful chemicals that can be found in the home.  It will grow in full shade to full sun, so you will have lots of flexibility in placement.  With proper care, it can survive for many years.
     
  • Bamboo Palm – This plant prefers part sun or shade.  It removes harmful elements such as benzene and formaldehyde. What is Benzene?
     
  • Chinese Evergreen –  This pretty, easy-to-care-for plant thrives in low to medium light.  It can grow to one of two feet.  While it helps maintain healthy air quality, it also can be toxic to pets, so if you have fur babies at home, keep this plant out of their reach!
     
  • Gerbera Daisy – These delightful flowering plants will remove benzene from your home while adding a cheerful vibe!  But they like to be warm; doing best in temperatures of 75 degrees or higher.
     
  • Mother-in-Law’s Tongue (also known as “Snake Plant”) – Despite the interesting moniker, this hardy succulent is a great houseplant for beginners (or those who don’t have green thumbs) because it can survive in even the toughest of conditions.  Just be careful not to over water it. How to Care for Mother-In-Law's Tongue Plant
     
  • Peace Lily – Honestly,  we can never have too much PEACE! This lovely plant not only brings to mind the beauty and hope of spring, it fights against toxic gases like formaldehyde and carbon monoxide.  They are easy to care for and will droop when they need watering.  They can be a bit toxic to pets and humans, so you should wash your hands after touching it. Formaldehyde
     
  • Spider Plant – Bring on the green with this houseplant that thrives in bright, indirect light and will remove harmful pollutants like formaldehyde and benzene.  Keep its soil damp, but not soggy and it will last a long time!

Now, more than ever, we all need to be very conscious of taking care of ourselves and the environment we live in.  Use these houseplants for health and improve your air quality at home today!
