DISCLAIMER

This blog is where I record a limited depiction of my feelings, family, and faith. My blog was recently under intense scrutiny, and so I feel this disclaimer is necessary. I try to tell my story as openly as I can, but this blog represents a cropped and narrow-viewed version of my story -- like all social media -- it is NOT the full story. Many events happen behind the scenes that are not recorded or written about, due to the sensitive nature of others involved. Life has many layers. Many layers can be shared and many cannot, and this blog is simply a layer of my life that I allow others to view, but it is not an accurate depiction of all the layers of my life.

Snack Bucket



Because our kids can be little piggies, we decided to use a snack bucket this school year. In the past, our kids had been ripping through any snacks (and bread) we had, and by the end of the school week, they would have nasty, lame, lunches -- with undesirable snacks.  

 NO MORE!

Now we buy the allotted amount of snacks for the school week (15 crackers, 15 sweet-treats, 15 string cheeses, 2 loaves of bread, etc.) and we put the non-perishable items in the snack bucket (the bread goes on top). This bucket (and bread) is not to be opened -- AT ALL -- except when making their own lunches before school. I must say, the snack bucket has been working beautifully! It works for William, too, who just grabs his snack right after he gets home from Kindergarten (which is nice for me, I don't have to come up with something, it is already ready!). 

If the kids were to cheat and grab a treat from the bucket (which has not happened) then they get nothing good in their lunch! 

It has been SUPER so far . . . I just wish I would have done it earlier!

    Saw this idea on pinterest and thought about giving it a try. Glad to know it works so beautifully.
