The problem with Pinterest...

Is that I spend so much time pinning ideas and not enough time DOING any of them!

But, this week I've managed to cross off not one, or two, but THREE of  my "Pinterest Inspired" ideas:

The first one was this great idea for a container of quick and easy snacks in the refrigerator:

idea found here

My kids are always raiding the refrigerator and pantry for snacks and I've been trying hard to get them (and myself) snacking on more fruits and veggies.  Having them right in front of your face and ready to go when you open up the refrigerator has been great this week.  And it's so accessible for the kids...which isn't necessarily always a good thing ;)

(We haven't braved any hummus yet.  I did snack bags of grapes, carrots, and celery along with some yogurt.  Maybe next week we will get a little more creative)


Idea #2 was the FANTASTIC idea for an after school snack found here:

"Fishing" Snacks!

Holy Smokes!  My kids LOVED this!  They gobbled that celery right up with those crackers.  (even I have a hard time eating celery...definitely not my favorite)


And finally, the Third Pinterest Inspired Idea:

These super fun hand print turkeys

this one is Aimers



Mostly the kids were in shock that I was actually letting them PAINT their hands!

Halloween Banner

Well, I just barely got this fun little Halloween banner made and up this week, but better late than never, right?!
(Thanks to my SIL, Holly for the SPOOKY iron on vinyl :)
