After School Snacks with Bagel Bites

School is back in full swing and my days are busier than ever!!  I do a victory dance each morning at about 8:10am because I have successfully gotten everyone up and out of the house and to school on time!!  I have about three hours to get errands run, the house cleaned, emails/phone calls returned and I'm off to pick up Owen.

We come home and have a nice, long lunch together.  He loves to watch a movie, play quietly and just relax because he is so exhausted from those three hours of school.  Before we know it, it's time to hop in the car and get to the high school to pick up Kam.  That's when my days really begin!

As soon as we get home, I have two starving children.  I love to have plenty of quick and convenient snacks on hand.  Bagel Bites are easy to throw in the oven for 12 minutes and we are on the go again!  I like that they are baked, not fried.  They are made with real cheese and the tomato sauce is made from scratch.  My kids love them with some cut up veggies or a couple pieces of fruit.  They have full bellies and are happy!

Kam usually has at least three hours of homework, a couple hours of dance, practices her violin and she just joined the Japanese club on Friday afternoons.  She is a busy girl and so needless to say, she has only time to grab her food and GO!  As much as I love how active and busy she is... I do look forward to our weekends when we can slow down and enjoy some down time.

Owen, on the other hand, likes to take his time and eat.  He sits at the kitchen table with his after school snacks, plugs in his iPad and completes his reading homework on Raz-Kids.  He has 20 minutes of reading each day and it's the perfect time for him to read and enjoy his snack.  Since he likes his food a little spicy, I sprinkled on some red pepper flakes and gave him a side of spicy marinara sauce to dip them in.
Life is busy and we wouldn't have it any other way!  My kids are finally settled into a routine and both are loving school. Visit the Bagel Bites website for more information and you can find a coupon here!
