Home School Snack Time

I am so very thankful that my children's Grandparents are so supportive of our homeschooling efforts. My Mom, and Bob's Mom and Dad are always here for us ... supporting us, praying for us, offering their help to us, etc...

My Mother in Law is a preschool director and my Father in law is an amazing artist ... so they always have so many great ideas to assist us in our homeschool journey.

My Mother in Law decided this year to support us by providing a structured, healthy snack for every school day. She and the girls worked together one day to come up with a calendar with all the snacks for the whole month written on it. Then, she went out and shopped for all the items we would need. She presented the calendar and a bag full of food to us at the beginning of the month.

I am so thankful for her help and support in this way! Having everything bought and planned has helped tremendously! First of all it means that the girls always know they have something to look forward to in the middle of their school morning. Second, it helps having it planned so they don't just go raid the pantry whenever they feel hungry. Third, all the snacks are healthy! This helps me know that I am doing something very good for my family.

Here is just a small idea of what we are doing for snacks this month:
whole wheat fig newtons
cheerios and raisins
peaches (canned) and popcorn
etc ...

And here is everything she bought for the month ...
