DIY Ice Pack Sponge In 4 Easy Steps

Every weekday morning, I promise myself that I will plan ahead next time and get the kids lunches together early before I go to bed. But every night I am completely and utterly exhausted and decide to do it in the morning. It’s a vicious cycle really, but one that most moms can relate to. Do you stay up late to have some time to yourself to get stuff done, or go to sleep because you’re completely exhausted?

But this is a super easy way to keep things cool until lunch.
