Organization While Eating on the Run: Pinterest Inspiration #1

This one is for all of us with kids:  here is a very simple, yet very efficient idea that I ran across from stalking through Pinterest (www.pinterest.com).  Almost so simple, I had a head-slapping "duh" moment.  Anyway, I credit the idea from lookiewhatidid.blogspot.com.

In case you have been living under a rock, Pinterest is awesome!  I can totally spend hours on there checking out other peoples pins, repinning, & categorizing my pins.  It's a virtual inspiration board!  I just wish I was the brilliance that had invented it, but anyway, that didn't happen...

So I am not by any means encouraging feeding your kids fast food-in-the-car in lieu of sitting down at the family table to a nice, hot wholesome home-cooked meal, but who are we kidding - we all rely on this sort of nourishing convenience for our hungry children occasionally, especially on a busy weeknight.

Here is what you will need:

  • Small plastic organizer caddy from Target Dollar Spot
  • Fast-food Kid's Meal of your choice
  • Your happy child (or children) because you are feeding them fast-food, most likely with an inclusive toy (which makes it all the more better, right?)

Steps to Follow:

  • Take small plastic organizer
  • Fill empty slots with said Kid's Meal contents - main item (i.e. hamburger, nuggets, etc.) in largest slot, drink in 1 of the 2 smaller slots, & side (fries, apples, etc) in the other of the 2 smaller slots.
  • Place in your child's lap in the car for easy eating, holding, & less mess!  
  • When finished with meal, remove from car & clean as needed.
  • Return to car for the next trip to a favorite fast-food joint!

See, 2 happy children!  

It also makes an impromptu picnic easy to transport (plus, it keeps their food from touching that nasty community picnic table!)
