Pin Test: Back to School Snacks

Today's Pin Test is one of those pins that makes you go..., "Well duh, why didn't I think of that?" The idea is SO simple, yet it's a great idea I wasn't implementing.

It's a snack basket with portioned out serving sized snacks for your kids. See the pin here.

I stopped into my local Dollar Tree and found this cute, cute blue wire basket. It's a bit smaller than I wanted for my snack basket but I just couldn't leave the store without it. When I got home I realized it was the perfect size for a our limited pantry space anyway. So it worked out quite nice. :)

The boys love it so far, especially Reid who usually has to ask for help to get what he wants. It's at his level and easy for him to access; which in turn helps me.

Since Owen started second grade on Wednesday. (When did he get so tall??)

I thought I would give this cute pin a go as well.

Instead of bagging up the gold fish crackers, like the pin shows, I used them to spell out a little note that was waiting for him when he got home from his first day.

My ocean obsessed boy loved it.

I have to say, part of me was dreading school and getting up early (Owen is more of a morning person than I am :)), but the schedule is doing good things for us. Reid's next. He starts pre-K preschool in two weeks!

Have a fun weekend! We (as in me) are working on reorganizing/redecorating our apartment. I just might have something to show you soon. Crossing my fingers.
