Kid's Nutrition Chart Printable

I'm lucky enough to have a son who likes to eat healthy foods. The only problem is that he can be a bit picky and doesn't always get the variety that he needs. So I came up with this little system to help both of us keep track of his eating habits!
I went here to find out how many servings of each food group my son needs at his age. This site had a guide for serving sizes.

My New Craft Room

I think you have all seen my old craft closet by now. About six months ago I mentioned that my crafting area had moved to another room and I am just now getting around to showing you the full reveal.

So here we go....
As you can see, this was originally the storage area. We went through everything, got rid of a bunch of stuff and moved the remaining items to another area.

CSN Stores Review

As you may remember, CSN Stores recently contacted me about doing a review. There were a bunch of really cool items that would look great in our next house. I really wanted the Kit Cat Clock but since we are working hard to save money, I decided to go with something closer to the amount of the promotional code they gave me.
