First order of business for summer....get my snack rules ready and organized. Otherwise I quickly become a 24-hour convenient store who doesn't get a chance to step away from the kitchen. So, I saw this idea a few months ago and loved it. I bought 3 of these containers and have marked each one with the names of each child. They get three snacks a day for the week. So, I place 15 somewhat healthy choices in each container. Some are very healthy and some are not so much. A good mix makes everyone happy. :) Things like fruit/vegetables are always available. If they choose to eat more than the alloted snacks then they are out of luck come Friday and are stuck eating just fruits and veggies. So far so good...we'll see how the next week goes. It's been nice not having to answer , "Can I have a snack?" 100 times a day. And how cute is this cereal dispenser?!?! I'm thinking these need to have a new home in our new house next week. Makes me want to have a bowl of cereal right now. Oh how I love the Container Store.....always puts an instant smile on my face to peruse their store.
Mom of three super fun and super cool children (Caleb, Grace, Madeline) and wife to one super cool dude - Andrew. Just living life and trying to do the best we can to mold these little sprouts into who God designed them to be. And trying to be "IN" the moments with them rather than looking back and wishing we had spent more time together as a family. And...to be content. Content with where I am in life as a wife and mom. Content with the circumstances God brings into our lives. Life moves by at warp speed, and I want to be present for it. (Jer. 29:11)
