Tips for Handling Home, Family and Nursing School

Hey everybody,

Bevi's post about what is everyone doing on their summer break before school got me thinking if anyone out there had tips they would like to share on how to balance Home, Family and School.

For instance I am hoping to give my house a really good cleaning before school starts 'cause that will probably the last time it gets it til semester break in December.

I also thought that a good time saving tip would be for me to buy and stock up on all of my personal toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, soap, etc. for the next couple months because my husband can go food shopping on his own but he doesn't know what type of personal items I need.

One problem I'm running into though is that I work in the day and then will have lab one night a week in the evenings. I don't know what type of food to take with me to eat before class because I know I will really need it since I won't get home til about 10:00PM.

If you have ideas and tips please share!!!!

Ya I agree crock pots really help and there are some good crockpot cookbooks out there too! Also cook and freeze meals in advance.

those are some great tips! thanks for sharing! I'm sure many of us will be using them!

dont forget to stock up on your school supplies as well (paper, pens etc) there is nothing worse than running out in the middle of an assignment! lol

best of luck to everyone!

There is a great cookbook called Fix It and Forget It that has a LOAD of crock pot recipes. I love it, and that crock pot has become a life-saver in this household (my husband can't cook).
