Grab a Quick Meal & Making One on One Time with Your Kids

Conagra Brands sponsored this quick meal post, but the opinions expressed are my own.
I have a goal to spend 5-10 minutes one on one with each of my kids a day & also to make sure we spend time without noise. We are a family that loves sports and loves music so I feel like there is always something in the background. I know that I occasionally need a gentle reminder, I think we all do. Whether it’s to put down our phones, our laptops, or a book, and be present. I know that 5-10 minutes doesn’t seem like a lot, but think about how long your kids are in school, activities, sports, homework time, bath time, reading time, and then bed time. Add in the craziness of the holidays and I’m scraping for that time with my kids. An easy way for me to spend time with my kids is meal time. It doesn’t have to be extravagant and let’s be honest, most of the time it isn’t and hasn’t been since our baby was born 8 months ago.

The crust of your kid’s sandwich does not count for a meal. My biggest struggle is fitting in time to eat lunch. I think that I will feed myself while I’m feeding the baby or getting one off to preschool and then it’s 3:30 and I realize I didn’t eat. Not even a quick meal.

Sauce and Marie Callender’s Loaf Cake Pound Cake.

the alphabet and how she gets one chocolate chip for practicing her ABC’s made for the
sweetest company. It is amazing how much kids (mine at least) thrive on attention and big kid conversation.

We have had this treat before, but a few weeks ago my girls got to help prep it for an event I was helping with. They loved being involved and keep asking for the cake in a cup.
So when they got home this week, I cut the Marie Callender’s Loaf Cake, they cut the
strawberries, and we loaded them up into the glasses. We each sprayed our own Reddi-wip,
had some girl chat, and talked about things that had nothing to do with test scores or our to do list.
