5 Things Saving My Life Right Now

Today I'm sharing five things that have been saving my life. I hope this list helps you find a little sanity in your life. Do you have anything that has been saving your life? I'd love it if you shared!

Starbuck Trenta Cup –

I’m desperately trying to up my water game. I feel like because of the last couple of months of travel, my water intake has suffered. I’ve been carrying around a stainless steel water bottle, but I always have drunk things better/faster from a straw. Last time I was at Starbucks, I ordered an extra large ice water — and I’ve been filling up the same cup day after day. A Trenta cup is 31 ounces, so after drinking 3 of them, I’ve hit my water goal for the day.

Lunch Prep –

I know I know. It’s literally the last week of school and I just figured this trick out. Do you know how much time it saves in the morning when I prep lunches the night before? It has been a morning game changer.

Aldi’s Prepped Salad –

Salads are one of my go-to easy lunches (especially when I’m working and forget to eat and need to grab something fast). I get the big container of baby spring mix, throw a handful (or two) in a bowl, toss in some crushed walnuts, pre-cooked chicken, and dressing and boom. Easy, healthy lunch.

Iced Coffee –

My dad gave me an iced coffee pitcher for my birthday last year and I’m loving it. Especially for the mid-day pick up (and I don’t want to re-warm my coffee because that’s just gross).

Walmart Pick Up –

If given a choice, I prefer Aldi, but you really can’t beat Walmart pick up. With work, deadline, and traveling I have had almost zero time to actually go grocery shopping (and generally it’s the morning of a busy day that I realize we have no food. If you haven’t tried it, seriously, what are you waiting for?! If you have lots of babies coming home for the summer, now is the perfect time to try it (because no one wants to drag kids to the grocery store when you could be at the pool!)

What things have been saving your life this month?
