Unleashing the Snack Beast

I have been noticing alot of grouchiness in my children lately..so I've decided that this week we would do a little experiment. I sat my kids down this morning and told them they no longer needed to ask for a snack, they can get one whenever they want! (This is stepping way outside of my comfort box lol) There is one stipulation, it has to be healthy. I explained what healthy meant, then unleashed them!

These are ideas from a couple of my friends, and I decided I would combine the two and see what happens. I figure it has to be a win, win situation. The kids are happy they can have a snack anytime, and I'm happy they are eating healthier.

We went to the store this morning and picked out a bunch of fruits & veggies, they were so excited! Who'd a thunk it!!

So, far today, it has gone well. No one has gorged themselves, yet, and everyone is less irritable! Yippee!!
