Healthy Back to School Breakfast and a Clean Kitchen!

It's Back to School Time! Ahhhhh!!!!! As a teacher, I am always a little weary to have school start (Don't get me wrong, there is a little bit of excitement!) One of my favorite things about starting the school year is I get back into the routine of things. In the morning, I like to have a morning routine to get my "head in the right place", if you will. Part of this morning routine includes making a healthy, protein-filled breakfast so that I can keep my energy up while at school. 

I am, also, a little bit of clean freak (A LOT OF A BIT), so I find it's important to me to have my kitchen clean and ready so that when I get home from a long day of work and exercise, I can really relax. Two of my favorite  kitchen cleaning items are the Scotch-Brite® Heavy Duty Scrub Dots Sponge and Scotch-Brite® Non-Scratch Scrub Dots Sponge. I tend to clean while I am cooking to make the cleaning go a little bit faster at the end. 

First, I want to share my favorite healthy recipe that I do during the school year: A delicious, yummy, super easy omelette! 

Step 1: Buy the following cleaning items to help clean during the process of the omelette. 



Step 2: Gather all of the ingredients

  • bell peppers 
  • grated cheese 
  • kale/spinach mix 
  • cherry tomatoes 
  • eggs
  • avocado 



Step 3: Crack eggs and mix in with a little bit of milk.



Step 4: Cut up the tomatoes and the bell peppers.



Step 5: Use the Scotch-Brite® Non-Scratch Scrub Dots Sponge to clean up the cutting board at this point to make cleaning easier. 


Step 6: Throw in some kale/spinach mix. 

Step 6: Mix altogether and add in Salt, pepper, and grated cheese. 



Step 7: Put on stove to cook.


Step 8: Flip it over. Add some tomatoes, avocados and cheese on top. Boom. The most delicious, easiest morning routine recipe.



Step 9: Cleaning time!!  Use your Scotch-Brite® Scrub Dots Sponge to clean off the dishes and the sink. You will see  a significant difference of before/after with these awesome kitchen cleaning supplies!

My favorite, the Scotch-Brite® Heavy Duty Scrub Dots Sponge,  which I used while cleaning my kitchen made it so easy to clean. It made the cleaning of the sink fast and and rinses it nice and clean. 

Obviously I used the sponge in my sink, but the great part about it, is it can be used around the house.

That Weird Time Between Summer and FAll

It's that weird time of year where it's not summer anymore, but it's still not quite Fall. It is so cold in the morning, but by the afternoon, you have to turn your A/C on. You know what I'm talking about, right? Or is this just me. I found that I wanted to wear a dress today, but I also wanted to be warm. So, in order to make the perfect outfit, I threw on an adorable striped dress from Cleo Madison and a long sweater to go over it. You can even tell in these photos that the weather is weird--sunny in one part and cloudy behind me!

This is a great in-between seasons outfit!! This dress is so incredibly comfy that I could wear this outfit almost every day.

Also, do you all have a go-to boutique that you love to shop at? I found Cleo Madison and absolutely fell in love with their dresses and shirts. What's even more awesome is their cheap prices! Go check out this darling shop, friends.
