This is my pantry storage system that I am proud of. I haven't yet found all my food storage, but this is a
great thing to have in my pantry. It holds
those #10 cans. It has plenty of room, I havent' yet filled it up.
The last picture is my meager attempt at controlling
video time in my house. I came up with a rotating chart
for the kids. Each Saturday we switch their names, and that
row of jobs is theirs for the week. For each job they complete, they
put a token worth 10 minutes of free time to that job. That way
when they say,"Mom, can I play the Wii?" I can then say,
"do you have any minutes?" When they spend their time, we
take off the token and then they repeat the jobs if they want
more time. They usually spend their minutes as soon as they
earn them, but at least it limits the time in front of a screen,
and my work is cut in half (of course I have to bite my tongue
and look the other way at their cleaning jobs!!). At least I feel better
at making an effort to curb the amount of video games my kids are
engaging in. I love the imagination they use after their minutes are spent. =)
