2013 Pantry Remodel

Two years ago, I decided to take a picture each day to serve as a journal, recording my year in the form of (mostly) cell phone pictures.  Although I'm ridiculously happy I kept it up (and plan on continuing), I am certain that I only stuck to it because I posted the pictures to Facebook. In an unexplainable way, posting kept me accountable.  And now, I have 2 awesome albums filled with blurry, special pictures that take me right back to the captured moments.

So....this year, I've decided to make a new commitment: 

I will not buy any junk food, for our family.  
But...
I will make one homemade snack each week.

think.....

....vs....

Could this be an undercover way to focus on being healthier in the New Year?

Yes.
Could this be a shameless attempt at an excuse to do Pinterest projects weekly? 
More than likely.
But will this accomplish some great learning goals?
I sure hope so.

And because I'm a teacher.....here are a few of those learning goals:
1. Chelsey will become more familiar with the kitchen.
2. Bria will learn to value whole foods.
3. The Harlans will honor the Lord with their food choices.

Hey, the leftover Christmas cookies sitting on my counter were homemade...fair game???

And now....2 Truths...
1. I'm scared to make this commitment so publicly, but I know it'll be a fun experiment! Justin is even excited about it!
2. I feel sad for any babysitters who come to our house this year....snacks were always a highlight, when I babysat, and I feel like I'm letting them down ;)
