Eat Your Oats

You have heard it before and as a quick reminder oatmeal is good for your health. The little oats lower cholesterol, they keep your arteries healthy, help prevent heart disease, low in calories, high in fiber and give you a healthy start to your day! Phew, if only we all had a resume that could compare.

We eat oats in our house for all those reasons, but mostly because we like them...with berries and brown sugar:)

 OK, here is the real reason I eat so many oats....

Aren't these the cutest, cheapest little containers you have ever seen? All it takes is a little paper and scotch tape. I like to give gifts in these fancy tubes, but I think they would make cute banks, food storage, or junk collectors. I really hope I give birth to a pony!

  7. Nikki, people are going to think I do nothing but study your blog. I just linked to your blog for a second time in two blog entries. Ava and I made a piggy bank via your oatmeal container idea. It was too cute not to share!
