Mine is so awesome she'd even say I'm awesome. :)<br /><br />My husband likes leftovers for lunch, which gave me trouble on Fridays until I realized that we could eat vegetarian on other nights. This week I even realized that if I made a pasta dish with meat, I could just set aside one portion before adding the meat. Now, why didn't I think of that before?!Alicenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-43390771007724579292011-08-25T14:04:27.674-05:002011-08-25T14:04:27.674-05:00I wish I had some sisters to inspire me.

But, these were really helpful tips. I like snack time. I tried having regular snack times and the kids would demand more food than snack amount and then they would get full and not eat lunch, then demand a full meal at 2 pm. Oi vey. So I decided to go with the flow instead. But, I think I need to get back in the habit.<br /><br />I am always looking for a pre-dinner activity to keep the kids busy while I cook and keep them out of weary Daddy's hair. Got anymore paper and marker tips?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02367907451392729802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-50950865165188753332011-08-24T14:15:56.950-05:002011-08-24T14:15:56.950-05:00I'm the same way, Mama Hen, and this is withou...I'm the same way, Mama Hen, and this is without children.

I would like to say I am organized and have the snack all planned out but I don't. We do however keep our school time snack time going year round, and weekends. And as for using up food in the fridge. It is time for a big shopping trip for me, so I will be cleaning out the fridge the next two days, finishing up the food there.

Our one-car garage is the pantry/storage/family room/learning room (with carpet and sofa, etc)--- so between the galley kitchen and the multi-purpose garage was a heavy door that would regularly slam my little kids' fingers. AND when the door was open which was most of the time, I couldn't get to a big lower cabinet, the washing machine, 1/2 of the counter space and a large corner upper cabinet. This silly door was the bane of my mommy-life! I was complaining to one of my sisters and she suggested that I just take it off. The clouds parted. It never occurred to me to get rid of the thing.priest's wifehttp://remnantofremnant.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-902102460517670809.post-57372476607556536282011-08-23T14:14:27.610-05:002011-08-23T14:14:27.610-05:00Wonderful, great ideas!
