A Little Dose of Happiness ~ What we have been up to lately!

So once again I have let a little time pass in my updates.  What can I say.... I have been enjoying life.... here is what we have been up to lately.

Having fun at the Curious George exhibit at Crown Center.

Watching trains bring us our food at Fritz's - always a hit!

Wearing out the kids at the bounce house

A little cousin and Grandma time at Deanna Rose Farmstead

All sorts of fresh veggies and peppers generously given to us by friends and neighbors this summer!  Hopefully next year we can start a small little garden of raised beds for ourselves...

Tyce starting Pre-school this year!

One of the last days that we were actually able to go to the water park now that it is actually hot around here!

Organization Ideas - Single Serve Snacks for the Kids

So, I am not the biggest fan of processed foods anymore, but all parents know that sometimes we need some emergency supplies on hand that can be kept at room temp, are easy to grab, with no prep. (I am completely jealous of the people who have time to prep all sorts of portable healthy snacks but that is not always my M.O.)

My kids like cheerios and they tend to make a huge mess trying to get them out themselves for a snack.  So I decided to take a box and portion into single serving sizes in little snack bags.  It makes it easy for the kids to grab without making a mess and it is automatic portion control.  Also, all of the little bags fit perfectly back in the original box for storage.

Worked like a charm.......the kids found them while Mommy and Daddy were getting ready for work.....I knew there had to be a reason they were being so quiet!!  It's the simple things :)
