Simplify & Organize

I don't generally do things that require lots of time.  I just never seem to have large chunks of time with three young kids.  So quick and easy is my motto!

Was going crazy over the eight boxes of open cereal in my pantry today, and realized that many of them were open because I like to make a cereal mix on the mornings when we have to head out in a hurry.  I usually scoop handfuls of several varieties and put them in snack cups for on-the-go eating.

It dawned on me today, that I could just combine the varieties in one of my cereal storage containers, and when I'm in a hurry I can save even more time by just pouring some out rather than taking the effort to mix on a busy morning.  Here's a picture of my mix: Cheerios, Yogart O's, Fruit Loops, Quaker Oatmeal Squares.  I have been know to add in raisins, craisins, mini-marshmallows, chocolate chips, banana chips, etc.



I had also been wondering what to do with my empty Puff containers.  I decided to put my baby cereals in them.  They are so much easier to pour from and will stay fresher.
