⛽️ When Your Gas Light Is On
|
This past week I was at my sisters helping her recover from another successful procedure, thank the good Lord! It was a short trip so there wasn’t much with me. As I packed up to leave yesterday and was planning out the day, I noticed there were only 40 minutes to get to the connecting flight. You might be thinking “40 minutes” oh that’s plenty of time. Enter the airport letters ATL and now you know what I mean when I say only 40 minutes is nothing with that airport.
As I was thinking about the day I thought I’m not going to have time to grab lunch even at the airport. I’m going to need to have some food packed with me. I went to my sister's pantry which was organized (by you know who 😉) I was able to grab snacks quickly. Both flights were early and the connecting flight thankfully was in the same gate. The second flight though was only 40 minutes (seems to be a trend here 😏) and cabin service wasn't even offered. After landing in Charlotte, I had to get straight to the school for an event for the kids, there wasn't time to stop at home. As small as it may seem, those snacks in my sister's pantry were a lifesaver. Everyone knows that feeling of being starved, when that happens all bets are off and you usually grab an option that isn't the healthiest because you are SO hungry. Then regret sinks in or the unhealthy option has you grabbing for another unhealthy option and the snowball continues. Not to mention the "hangry" that happens. The pantry being organized and having healthy snacks readily available fuels you for the day. It keeps your tank full and keeps the gas light off. Nobody likes when the gas light comes on, panic starts to set in and you start to wonder if you'll make it to the next gas station in time. All the worst case scenarios go through your head. There's no greater feeling when you finally pull into the station you exhale a huge sigh of relief. That same type of relief exists when your pantry is in order. You're able to save time and money by planning meals and you never have to worry about your gas light coming on. -Marie The Container Store SalesThe Container Store is rocking it with sales lately.

The wild month of May. It’s like riding a rollercoaster, your up, down, and holding on for dear life. It really is the December of the first half of the year. The end of the school year has all the schedules turned upside down with class parties, concerts, themed weeks, sport schedules and games, what else am I forgetting?! 😉 We've been knee deep in some pretty big moves here in Charlotte. Moving is a HUGE undertaking. We personally have moved a handful of times and as someone who loves being...
Last week I hopped on the Peloton to start a workout. For whatever reason, the bike was not syncing to the internet. I did the routine turn off and turn on the machine, plus unplugged it. Did this a few times and nothing worked. At this point, I'm close to 10-minutes into my workout time and haven't started a thing. I knew calling tech support was the next step but didn't have the time or patience to deal with it so I finally decided to do my own workout. As someone who grew up playing sports...
Two weekends ago, we were at the baseball fields (shocking) and our oldest was looking for something to eat. If you have ever been in the baseball world, you know it's a full day event. When we leave in the morning, you'd think we were packing for a weekend trip. There are the chairs, the wagon, the scooters, dolls and activities for the girls and of course the cooler full of snacks and food for the day. Baseball games have the "snack shack" that I loathe. It's full of candy and all of the...
