Back to School Baon Ideas with Cheez Whiz

Hi, mommas! How are your kids holding up now that they're back to face-to-face classes again after two long years of online learning? I'm sure they have mixed feelings about it; they must be excited and anxious at the same time. Just like my kids!

With the opening of school comes the familiar routine of waking up early, making sure your child's uniforms are in order, and planning and preparing the week's baon.

There is no place like home! And, I'm very grateful that we have a place we can call home and live comfortably, especially during the pandemic. But you see, it's not really ours.

But, this pandemic has got us thinking about getting our own place.

We’ve even drawn up a few sketches of what we imagine it to look like.
