How to Make Snack Time Exciting

Hey, I’m so glad you stopped by today! My house is full of boys – hungry boys. I feel like I never leave the kitchen some days; someone always needs something to eat. But, we get in a snacking rut and find ourselves eating the same things over and over. I know there’s a lot more options out there, but they just don’t come to me when I have little hungry piranhas, uhm, I mean boys, nibbling at my ankles. Have you ever fallen into a snack rut too? That’s where this printable list of snack time ideas comes in.

Next time you’re scrambling at snack time, just check out the list and choose something new. It can also help you make out your grocery list and keep your snacks from coming from the candy and chip aisles. Make snack time exciting with these yummy ideas!

How to get out of that snack time rut with healthy options and an occasional treat

A HEALTHIER SNACK TIME FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

It wasn’t just my children I had in mind when I made up this list. It was my snacking habits as well. I’m totally guilty of grabbing a handful of chocolate chips out of the fridge when the munchies hit. But, not anymore! Your whole family can eat healthier, more filling snacks and you’ll all be better, short and long-term. You’ll snack less, which means less time in the kitchen for you. You’ll stay fuller longer and you’ll have more energy. Who doesn’t want that?

MAKING SNACK TIME EASIER FOR MOM

Have you ever felt like you spent the entire day in the kitchen, feeding the kids? It can be frustrating! I’ve been there, I know. If you need to feed little mouths all day long, but don’t want to spend all day, every day preparing, serving and cleaning up those snacks only to start over again, then this list is for you! On it, you’ll find snack ideas that will help you add variety, nutrition and structure to your family’s snacking. Snacks are divided into:

  • high protein snacks for longer lasting energy
  • make-ahead snacks to help you save time
  • high fiber snacks to help keep tummies happy
  • high calcium snacks for strong bones
  • quick prep snacks for those snacking emergencies when you need something NOW

Not all of these snacks are “healthy snacks”. Some of them are treats, particularly some of the quick-prep snacks. In our family, we believe moderation is the key to healthy and happy tummies. It is up to you to make sure your family has balanced nutrition and moderation. These are ONLY ideas!

100+ Awesome Screen-Free Kid’s Activities that will Conquer Boredom

Hi there! I’m thrilled you stopped by today. So, it’s here. What’s that, you ask, what’s here? Summer vacation. I’m excited to have my kids home. We’re going to have lots of fun (I hope). But, I still have responsibilities and obligations I have to meet. I can’t spend all of my waking hours entertaining my kids or breaking up fights. And that’s where this awesome list of screen-free kid’s activities comes in.

When the boredom monster rears his ugly head and chaos ensues, my kids are directed to this list of activities. They can choose something together or mom gets to pick their next activity – usually a chore. If you ever need your kids to entertain themselves, here’s 100+ ideas you can give them without saying a word.

 Boredom Bucket List 100+ Kid's Activities that will Conquer Boredom

100+ KID’S ACTIVITIES AT YOUR FINGERTIPS

Most of the time, I find that the hardest part of helping my kids come up with an activity is that I’m short on ideas. They just don’t come to when I need them most. Having a list already made up saves my skin (and sanity). If you ever struggle to come up with kid’s activities, this list is for you.

I’ve been struggling to keep my kids off the screens lately. And they always counter with, “then what can I do?” Apparently, they are tired of hearing my 7-9 standard suggestions. So, now they have over 100. If they can’t find something that sounds fun in that many ideas, then they probably need a chore to remind them what really qualifies as fun.

 

WHY YOU SHOULD LET THE KIDS FIND THEIR OWN ACTIVITIES & HOW IT CAN HELP YOUR WHOLE FAMILY

If you’ve ever been inundated with “I’m bored”, “there’s nothing to do”, “everything is boring!” or any variation of those, you know it can be frustrating. I’m a big believer that kids need to learn to entertain themselves. They need to be bored in order to figure out what to do about it. But, also, they should help plan family activities. Planning is part of being in a family, and life in general.

Learning life skills like problem-solving, planning, thinking ahead, preparing for an activity or event, and figuring out what to do with their time are all good things! If you get to spend some quality family time together too, I’m calling it a win.

Summer Printables to Enjoy an Amazing Summer Break

KEEP THE KIDS FROM FIGHTING AND CREATE SOME AWESOME MEMORIES THIS SUMMER

If the thought of all your kids all together ALL SUMMER LONG makes you a little nervous, I get it. My boys have kicked their sibling rivalry into high gear lately and the idea of being with all of them all of the time for 8 weeks makes my eye twitch a little. While I’m a firm believer that kids shouldn’t be entertained all of the time, I also know from experience that bored kids are bickering kids. In order to keep the peace – and my sanity – I plan to have a few activities that I can turn to when things get a little too crazy.

These summer printables are perfect because they mean less work for me. Sure, I could design similar ones myself, but time is worth something to me. When all I have to do is print them out, some minor prep work and they are ready and waiting for when I need them most, I am willing to spend a few dollars. These are all printables offered by The Dating Divas so you know the quality is awesome, the designs are gorgeous and I love that I can save them on my computer and use them again and again.

The Kitchen Declutter Challenge You Can Do In A Weekend

Welcome! I’m so glad you stopped by today! If your kitchen is feeling a little overcrowded and cluttered then you have come to the right place. If you want a little more order and less chaos in your cocina, this is for you. In two days, you can reclaim your space with this weekend kitchen declutter challenge. This checklist will guide you through, step-by-step to a clutter-free kitchen.

 

A CLUTTER FREE KITCHEN IN TWO DAYS WITH THIS KITCHEN DECLUTTER CHALLENGE

Two days is all it will take to get your kitchen under control, contain the chaos and kick out the clutter. Imagine finding that bowl or pitcher or cheese grater the first place you look. What would it be like actually knowing what spices you have in your cupboards. Imagine a calm, enjoyable cooking experience in a kitchen you love. You can have all that and more! Your kitchen can be a place you love, even if it’s not your dream kitchen. Only store the things you use and love. Make your kitchen a haven where your family will love to spend their time.

 Declutter your Kitchen in a weekend

A CLUTTERED KITCHEN IS A SMALL KITCHEN

Do you have a small kitchen? Clutter can make the largest of kitchens feel cramped and claustrophobic. My current kitchen is not small. It’s spacious and open and the reason we made an offer on this house. But the apartment we lived in before we bought our house had a teeny tiny kitchen. We barely had room to open the refrigerator door all the way. And, honestly, some days I miss our little kitchen and the limits it gave us.

If you have

  • a small kitchen with limited space
  • a large kitchen with plenty of space
  • a kitchen with awkward spaces
  • a cluttered kitchen with too many appliances
  • a kitchen that is cluttered and complicated to use

this checklist will help you put your priorities into place, organize what you love, give up the stuff you don’t and figure out how to best use the kitchen you’ve got to make it a place you enjoy being.

Kitchen Weekend Declutter Challenge

TRASH, DONATE, KEEP

The hardest part of decluttering any space is to ruthlessly purge your things. It can be hard to let go of those measuring cups or that casserole dish you got for your wedding… But, if they don’t work anymore, they aren’t doing you any good. Figure out a way to use them for something else or get rid of them. Start with 3 boxes: Trash, Donate, Keep.

Materials/Ingredients:

  • 3 boxes – 1 for trash, 1 for donations, and 1 for things you’re going to keep but that don’t belong in the kitchen.
  • A weekend to conquer the list
  • Weekend Declutter Challenge Checklist (gain instant access when you unlock the premium content below)

 

Instructions/Directions

CHOOSE A STRATEGY TO CONQUER THE KITCHEN DECLUTTER CHALLENGE

Decide if how you want to tackle your kitchen. Do you work best:

  • starting in one corner and working your way around the room?
  • concentrating on one task at a time?
  • working on small areas at a time?

What works best for you?

 

PRINT YOUR KITCHEN DECLUTTER CHALLENGE CHECKLIST

Grab your checklist when you click the image below. Download and save or print it right away. No email address and no waiting for it to show up. Just open and print it. And start your decluttering challenge now!

Weekend Kitchen Declutter Challenge Checklist

 

CHOOSE A WEEKEND AND GET TO WORK!

This challenge is designed to focus on a prominent area so you will be able to enjoy the results of your work. It’s designed to take place over two days so it doesn’t feel like you are cleaning and never making any progress. This challenge is quick and dirty.

For best results, divide this list into to parts. One for the first day and the other for the second day. While you don’t have to stick to it exactly, if you can accomplish approximately half the list one day and half the next, you won’t burn out and you’ll be sure to do a fairly thorough job so it will last longer than just a few days. Because, isn’t that the worst part of cleaning?! I hate spending hours working and you can’t even tell a day or two later. Get your results to last without having to kill yourself to get it all done at once.

 Kitchen Weekend Declutter Challenge

ARE YOU READY TO CONQUER THE KITCHEN DECLUTTER CHALLENGE?

You’ve got your list. Grab some boxes and get the clutter out of your home. Think how much easier it will be to cook in a kitchen that has the things you need, you know where they are and you aren’t avoiding the things you never use. Use this checklist to get your clutter free kitchen in just two days.

15. Memory Matching Game by The Girl Creative – The perfect boredom buster for school aged children on a hot summer day. Choose between 3 different summer themes and play alone or with a friend.

16. Indoor Mini Golf Family Pack by Two Best Friends In Love – The indoor miniature golf pack is a great way to have some major family fun while beating the heat this summer! The pack includes invitations, score cards, and cute notes to get your family excited about your big golf game! Also included are some super fun obstacles to make your game more interesting. Just add some plastic cups, a golf ball, and a club and you’re ready for a day of family fun, all from the comfort of your living room! I did an indoor mini-golf game for Mr. Napping and my 5th anniversary. My kids were so jealous. Can’t wait to try this one with them this summer!

17. “Days With My Dad” Father’s Day Activity Jar by While He Was Napping – Yep, that’s me. What little princess or valiant knight doesn’t love to spend time conquering the world with Dad? My husband and boys would plan to spend time together, but would spend so much time trying to decide what to do, they didn’t have much time to actually do anything. With this project, the kids can create a “Days With My Dad” Jar so Dad and his favorite little ones will never be without fun ideas and activities to explore the world. The Days With My Dad jar is a great birthday, Father’s Day or just because gift. Older kids can do this project on their own, younger kids will need some help. It takes 30-60 minutes to put together and requires no special materials!
