Grilled Chicken Salad & Kale Wrap for a Quick Dinner #Clip4School #ad #cbias


I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias® and their client. All opinions are honest and are my own.


Now that school is getting ready to start up again, our family is setting a new routine and planning for a {hopefully} organized fall!  One way I keep my family in a routine is by making sure that we're not scrambling to put together meals in a hurry.  This delicious Grilled Chicken Salad & Kale wrap was very simple to make using Tyson's Grilled & Ready® Chicken Breast Strips.  I mixed up 2 Tb. of plain Greek yogurt, 1 Tb. of horseradish mustard, 2 Tb. chopped celery, and 4 diced chicken breast strips.  I laid a huge leaf of kale on top of a tortilla and spread my chicken salad mixture down the middle.  Roll it up and serve with a side of fruit or veggies and you've got an amazingly tasty and quick dinner!



 I have used Tyson's Grilled & Ready® Chicken Strips for years now as a great back up when I need a quick dinner and don't have time for the extra step of preparing meat. There's usually always a bag in my fridge or freezer---and now I can also help my local schools out when I buy them!  Visit my Google+ Album for more about my shopping trip to buy these.

Did you know that Tyson has a program to benefit your area's schools?  By participating in the Tyson's Back to School Project A+ Program, you can earn 24 cents per label for your school---that's a lot more than other programs that offer donations for schools!


When shopping for Tyson products, look on the front, back, and sides of the packaging to see if the product you're buying is a participating product.  Here is a list of all participating Tyson products.

Signing up your school is easy!  First, go to the Project A+ website, find the "Get Started" button on the right side bar and see if your school is already signed up.


If not, you can sign them up quickly and easily. I was excited to see that homeschool associations are eligible to participate in this program. In fact, the Tyson Project A+ Program is open to all accredited schools in the US, including public, private, parochial, homeschool organizations, and military schools (both here and overseas).

Once your registration is processed, it's just a matter of getting the word out to your community to let them know to start collecting Tyson labels.  The coordinator will gather them up and send them in and Tyson will redeem 24 cents for each one.  This is a great way to earn some money for your school!

In our homeschool association, we like to provide scholarships to families in need, as well as purchase sports equipment for our many outdoor activities throughout the year.  The Tyson Project A+ Program is a great way to help earn the money we'll need to accomplish these goals.

I'd love to know if you try my Grilled Chicken Salad and Kale Wrap for your own quick dinner solution.  For more information on Tyson foods and programs visit:

The Homemaking Party: Homeschool Planning with My Student Logbook

It's one of my favorite times of year---a new school season and time to plan out the fun things our family will be doing in the coming homeschooling year.


This year, I really want to give Lynzie some more independence in doing her work in the order she chooses--and in a quieter, more private place in the house.  In order to do this, I need a way to easily record our goals for her school week.

I recently was introduced to the My Student Logbook collection and I think this will be the perfection answer to our needs for Lynzie.


My Student Logbook can be purchased either dated or not, and comes in a variety of themes for your children's individual personalities.  I chose the Butterflies and Roses design for Lynzie.


The logbook includes very easy to follow instructions for setting up the book in a way that will make it useable all year long.  Mine was ready to go, with no trouble, in five minutes.  But here's an instructional video for more information.



I also like the personalization pages in the back.  There's places for personal information, prayers and goals, books read, and more.

If you're looking for a great way to record your children's assignments, as well as keep a record of their homeschool year, My Student Logbook may be what you're looking for!

Thank you to the makers of My Student Logbook for sending me a free logbook to review.  All opinions are honest and are my own.

I love to feature some of the neat posts that are linked up---Please make sure and put my button or a text link on each blog post you link up. 

Here are a couple of my favorites from last week's party:
Ivy and Elephants always display the prettiest things on their blog---and this week's article on baby things was right up there with the rest!  I just love love LOVE the way these sweet memories are preserved in such a creative way!



I thought this neat post from Simple Foody on Pitting Cherries the Easy Way was ingenious!  Thanks so much, Katie!


One blogger I'm always so inspired by is Debbie-Dabble!  She has the most amazing home and is always dabbling in something gorgeous.  She is, in my opinion, an excellent homemaker!  Make sure and check out her creative space!

Thanks to everyone for the great posts!
