Blueberry Banana Oatmeal

Usually when I grab the bananas and frozen blueberries, it's to make smoothies - which we all love.

But this time I was making oatmeal . . .

Blueberry Banana Oatmeal!

And it was a huge hit!

 I made 2 servings of old-fashioned oats on the stove top, following the directions on the canister.  I mashed up 2 bananas and grabbed a heaping cup of frozen blueberries.  I mixed them both in the oatmeal as soon as I pulled it off the stovetop. 

Mini M&M Fun

I thought I would kick things up a bit today and add some extra incentives - Mini M&M's! 

(found in the baking aisle with the chocolate chips)

 I wanted to do a thorough practice of special sounds with my Curly Girlie for her Phonics lesson. Since the list is getting quite large, I thought an incentive might be in order. But not wanting to load my kids up on junk, I thought the Mini M&M's would work quite nicely. So I grabbed the bag and we set to playing some games!

Organization 2012 - Binders

I feel like I am quickly becoming a "Binder Queen" in this New Year!  But what a great way to organize!  Add some sheet protectors and you have your papers and projects right at hand. 

My organization project has been to convert my old monthly files into monthly binders.  How much more convenient to flip the sheet protector pages to see what I have available for the month.
