I made soup out of stuff on hand and it was SO good! We had it two days in a row!
This is my "main" pantry. I also took pics of the other three. I'll see how they look after the two weeks of purging!

New Food Goal & Exercise
Today is crazy busy...but I thought 5 min spent on here would be fun!
We began a new goal for 2 weeks in keeping with simplifying. To try to eat up most of what we have in our home. I usually have kept a really large stock pile of food. We have gotten that wayyyy down, but now are going to see if we can try to get the freezer and pantry almost emptied. That will cause me to have to be creative!
I'm going to attempt to shop just for milk, fresh veggies, fresh fruits mainly. We will see how it goes!
And, today we had so much fun exercising. We began with a goal of 3 times a week walking a while back. My kids go outside and play, and we have a wonderful yard space, but this is more cardio focused. Then today I found out they will be doing a toys for tots race again (my husband and son did it last year) so we are all planning to participate! It is so fun to see the kids run! And we found a great place to use fantastic exercise equipment, outside!
Have a happy day!

Rainbow Pasta
So, I remember fun colored pasta from when I was little. My husband did not! **GASP!** It is SUCH a fun craft, I decided to use it in a Children's Class this week. I just finished making it. It goes REALLY fast, and despite most online advice saying to use rubbing alcohol, I used vinegar (found that on another ladies blog!) and it worked really well for my purposes! I dyed a whole 2 lb box of pasta and have it out all drying now in well under 45 min. (Probably like 20 min, really!)
I think the smaller children especially will enjoy this craft. And if they happen to pop one in their mouth, then it's all non-toxic!
I did mine in handy dandy glass jars vice zippy bags

I added about 20 drops of color and a little vinegar...then about a cup-ish of pasta
