Wow! So almost a year since my last post... Let's see... hmm I guess it's been busy! Four kids, who are now 10, almost 7, 5 and 20 months. Four kids... some travel here and there, crazy school year with lots of snow days, moving into a new house.. four kids.. and gosh summer is almost over. Maybe with school starting and getting into a new routine, I can hop on the blog wagon at least once or twice this year! I might get crazy and try once a month to keep you on your toes. So stay tuned friends.

10+ Mini Snack Cup Uses
The last year I've taken to using these little mini plastic snack cups for items like condiments & little snacks and putting them in lunches, taking them on road trips, picnics, or camping. Obviously, you could easily use little snack size baggies for most of these items, but sometimes cups are a bit more fun and less crushable for items like goldfish or cheerios. And also, I'm not the best at always washing the reusable containers- or sometimes they just mysteriously vanish and are never to be seen again (maybe that only happens to me). Well, here are some uses I've found for them (food & nonfood). I would love to hear your ideas too!
1- ranch dressing
2- peanut butter
3- salsa
4- hummus
5- nuts
6- cheerios
7- goldfish
8- raisins/dried fruit
9- chocolate chips/ m&ms
10-marshmallows
Hey, I didn't say it was all necessarily healthy!
Here are some more ideas.....
11- blueberries
12- peas
13- oyster crackers
14- any condiments
15- lego pieces/barbie shoes
16- pills
17- earring/rings
18- loose tea
19- coins
20- seasonings
Have fun thinking up ideas!

Thrifty Keyboard Fun
One of the libraries that I take the kids to has two old computer keyboards that kids can play with in the children's area. My girls were so excited to get their hands on them that we had to make a trip the thrift store immediately after leaving the library to get our own keyboards for home! It was well worth the drive and only $5 for two old keyboards. (I found some at our Goodwill, but the Thrift store had even more). They love to pretend to type, or they like to use them as a register and swipe "credit cards". I just cut the cords off so they couldn't get into trouble with those, and they were set. If I was still teaching, I'd probably even grab a few for the classroom so the kids could type letters, names, sight words, etc. I can see lots of possibilities! So don't just sit there, go make a trip to the thrift store so you can pull these out for a rainy day. (You may even already have one stored away in a basement box- free is even better!)
I also ran across this blog post for making magnets out of old keyboard keys. I might have to try that too!
