This week I was tired. Mackenzie didn’t sleep so good the other night and just getting up 2x during the night knocks me down. I started my shopping list in a state of mind that was ” This kids are hungry all the time I have NOTHING to feed them.”
Have you ever been there?
So I started writing down all the snacks on sale at BJ’s.
This list was way to long.
I shook my head stood up from the table put my pen down and walked into the kitchen.
I have food. I have recipes. I need to make them more snacks.
Shop from your own kitchen first! Sometime we just get so carried away with having to feed our family that we forget we may already have things in our house that we just need to breathe a little life into.
This week I will make cookies, muffins, and granola bars. Our blender broke and it is killing me to not make smoothies all the time. So I will have to come up with some other snack too! Thankful for Pinterest!
