The Healthy Snack Basket

...is AWESOME!! It seems silly, but it saves room in the pantry and gives my kiddos some independence in the kitchen! We buy a lot of snacks...fruit snacks, yogurt covered raisins, granola bars, etc. and all of those boxes were wearing me out! They took up a lot of space...and I hate to admit, but I often found empty boxes each time I cleaned out the pantry. SO...in an effort to STAY organized we added the healthy snack basket to our lowest pantry shelf. When we get home from the grocery store, we empty all of the snack boxes and immediately take them to the recycling bin in the garage. When the kids ask for a snack, I simply tell them that they can choose anything from the healthy snack basket!! THEY LOVE IT! And I love having the extra space in the pantry!!
