Snacky Kids

I don't know about you, but I have extremely snacky kids.  I got tired of hearing "Im hungry, what is there to eat, can I have a snack, will you make me something." ETC...!

So I wash, cut, and divide up all the snacks into little baggies as soon as I get home from the store.  I put them in little baskets, and they know right where to go if they want a snack. It's easier for me and fun for the kids.  I'm very lucky to have kids that love fruits and veggies.  Having these snacks right at their fingertips is helpful for having them eat even MORE fruits and veggies.
This week is apples, bananas, oranges, cucumbers, strawberries, carrots, celery, pretzels, peanuts, and a nut/berry mix.  YES, they LOVE this stuff!  =D  They also have yogurt and cheese in the fridge.  Another plus is that it's super easy to grab a snack to take with us when we are leaving the house.

Girls best friend


Beginning of 2010 Garden

I've had no luck at gardening the past 3 years.  Perhaps it was too wet and buggy in North Carolina???  No wet and no bugs here in the desert, so we'll see how it goes this year.

These are 4 different tomato plants and a bell pepper plant.  I found the containers at Ikea.
Still have a few more things to plant.



These are flowers.  A butterfly and humingbid mix.  The hummingbirds around here are PIGS.  We're always filling the hummingbird feeder.


I really suck at this

Ok, so obviously the 'picture a day thing' just doesn't work for me.  So I'm just posting a picture whenever the heck I feel like it. lol

I also combined 3 blogs- kids, picture a day, and garden.  They are all here now.  =)
