Anyone feeling the effects of the first bell? Today, my kids officially went back to school. What that really means is I can finally sit down with you and share more about how to make your back to school season easier.

Did you know that Sam’s Club sells a great variety of Tyson products, perfect for easy and convenient back to school meals and snacks, including State Fair® Corn Dogs and Jimmy Dean® Frozen Breakfast items? With five kids in the house, two who can fend for themselves (or whip something up for their brothers), this is incredibly convenient.  I wish to rewrite that sentence. With five kids in the house and a husband who is always hungry, this is incredibly convenient for a mom who cannot always get breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner in the oven quickly.  These snacks are so easy even your kids and husband can make them in a quick minute!

My kids were incredibly excited to try Jimmy Dean Pancakes and Sausage on a Stick (20 ct.) Breakfast is always a struggle for us and my desire to get protein in the children before school sometimes falls flat to a bowl of cereal and milk. This pancake and sausage combination feels more like a Sunday morning breakfast and I feel confident feeding their potential with protein before school. Pop in the microwave and voila, breakfast is served. Add some syrup for yummy goodness!

We found these pancakes and sausage on a stick in our local Sam’s Club freezer section. Jimmy Dean also makes them in blueberry! Want a savings? If you get them in blueberry, they will be $2.00 off at Sam’s Club from 8/21 to 9/15 with Sam’s Club Instant Savings.

Another after school option (because we always delay family dinner until my husband gets home) are the State Fair Corn Dogs (34 ct.) This holds the kids over until 6 pm where we all sit down together.

Right now, join Sam’s Club to get a $20 gift card when you sign up for a $45 Sam’s Club annual membership.  Benefits of Sam’s club include Club Pickup, Scan & Go and Instant Savings. With Scan and Go, pay from your phone and skip the checkout line for a faster shopping experience. Score! With Instant Savings, get extra offers on tons of already low prices. Yes! Additionally, look for more information in your Valpak envelopes for details on special offers available for Sam’s Club members.

Want something else convenient? You can order these items online now for Club Pickup later. This is awesome for me because it keeps me from unbuckling three car seats to pick up our groceries – Thank you Sam’s Club!

Which product is going in your cart with your next Sam’s Club purchase. The Pancakes and Sausage, Corn Dogs or both! Let us know what you think.

Pampers Easy Ups at Sam’s Club

This post may contain affiliate links or ads. Read my privacy policy and disclosure policy here.

by Filed Under: Baby, Coupons Leave a Comment

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Pampers at Sam’s Club. The opinions and text are all mine.

Three of my five kids are potty trained. Well, almost three. We have been working on one…

Potty training is not like jumping on a bike. Every time that I prepare for a new child entering the field of “child meet potty” I have to prep myself. Yes, you guys, this is just as hard for mom! Additionally, each child is unique. Some are smart (disclosure, all my kids are smart) and some are not as over achieving (I will not mention names.) Also, with all three kids, I have done it at a different age, and that makes all the difference!

With my oldest, I potty trained right before she reached the age of two. She did fine. She is/was a type A personality, but there was some verbal communication that would have been nice for her to have. With my second child, I waited until almost 3 and a half. This was not because she wasn’t ready, it was because I wasn’t ready. Having waited, I can say that she got it the quickest of all my children! With the third, he is 2 and a half. Our nanny was ready so inevitably, he had to be ready too. And he has done great, but mastering the skill of #2 has led to some days of constipation for fear of using the potty.

A few tricks I can share are go all in. The day you decide to do it, take off the diaper and don’t turn back. We normally hang around the home naked for a few days. A lot of juice and we set a timer every 20 minutes. If he/she doesn’t go at 20 minutes, then the new timer is 5 minutes until potty is done and we reset to 20 minutes. Going number two, is a bit more challenging. Begin to look for clues in bowel movement behavior. My boy would hide and begin to hold his bottom with his hand. We did a lot of reading on the potty. Often children are going from standing up to sitting down, so knowing how to use the muscles in a new position takes thought.

Rewards. Rewards vary by family and child. Initially, our reward was an M&M for successful potty trips. Because I am a sucker for this blue eyed, blonde haired boy, he got a truck for a successful number 2 on the toilet. He is a smart boy and really struggled with victory over number two (sometimes your kids who over think, over think on the potty too!) This construction truck was his reward! Other reward systems I have done, have been sticker charts. One potty we owned, sang a song every time my child used the potty (that became quickly old, though!)

One of the hardest areas to master with potty training is night. One suggestion I have, is limit drinks before bed. Have the last drinks about 1 to 2 hours before you put your child down. Have your child empty his/her bladder before they go down for the night. With two of my three children, I would remove them from bed at my bed time (normally around 10 or 11) and carry them to the potty. I would not wake them but would whisper in their ear, go potty. I did this for years!

Family Minute to Win it Game Ideas

I have shared before how much our family loves Family Game Night. Sometimes incorporating board games with a larger group can become difficult. These Family Approved Minute to Win it Games are kid appropriate but also fun with Minute to Win it Games for adults (and perhaps play with a couple cocktails or two!)

Some of this list of Minute to Win it Games can be done during the Christmas season – in fact, the winter season is the best time to do them because sometimes the cooler temperatures keep you in doors and you have plenty of family members to make the games all the more merrier.  You could incorporate our Christmas Name that Tune too! Holiday minute to win it games don’t only have to be during Christmas.  Play at Halloween, Thanksgiving, Spring Break and more.

Let us know your favorite!

Minute to Win It Saran Wrap Ball Challenge

Use this with the kids. This teen minute to win it games is one of my favorite games and I say, you must use full size candy bars (it’s just more fun that way!) Wrap candy until you make a giant Saran Wrap Ball.  First place all players in a circle. One person begins unwrapping the ball and keeps whatever falls out. The player to their left is constantly rolling two dice. Then they roll doubles, the ball is passed to the left as are the dice. The same things occurs.   Once the person to their left rolls doubles the ball gets passed again. This idea comes from Must Have Mom.


Minute to Win It Reindeer Antlers

This is such a silly game. Split into teams of three and give each group 15 to 20 balloons. One person places the pair of pantyhose on their head that have openings at the feet. Either the fastest team to blow up all balloons and stuff them into the pantyhose wins or the team that gets the most in a set amount of time wins! Idea from Party Games Plus.
