Breakfast anyone?

My kids are not breakfast eaters, they have to be up at least two hours for them to be able to eat anything and keep it down. So when they are ready to eat I try to give them a very balanced breakfast. Something healthy that they love is as followed...
1 Eggo waffle (whole grain is best)
1-1 1/2 Tbsp. cashew, almond, or peanut butter (it is a matter of taste)
1/2 a banana (sliced to cover waffle)
1/4 cup of blueberries or strawberries

Serve with milk and there you have a simple balanced breakfast that anyone would enjoy eating.

BTW, I have also made this in a dessert fashion by just adding whipped topping, chopped nuts, dark chocolate shavings, and a cherry on top and the kiddies eat it up. Little do they know that they are eating healthy, all they know is that it taste good.

Mother of Invention.

Sometimes as a mother you come across situations in your home that need an inventive solution. Like in our home the baby's car seat serves many purposes, it's a car seat, a baby carrier, a personal rocking chair for baby, and since she can not sit up yet it is also a feeding chair. So over the holidays my girls got so many toys that they out grew their toy box and everything started to spill over into the living room. I think that the minute I stepped on a toy because it was on the floor and I was holding the baby, everything had to change right then. At first hubby and me went to our local Wal Mart to buy a new toy box. But guess what, they don't sell them. So here is what I came up with. The baby's pack n play has now turned into the new toy area. Now everything is neat and off the floor.
I think that it works out great for our family for now. So is there anything that you have done in your home that you feel was rather inventive? I am always up for new ideas.
