These simple DIY instant oatmeal packs has made my mornings brighter. 

Yes, I have a little pet peeves with those little instant oatmeal packs. 

It makes me bonkers how little oatmeal comes in those pouches. Needless to say, my 5-year-old needs at least 2 packets to have her little tummy filled with oatmeal each morning. And with comes packets, comes paper and a mess on the counter.

I probably would be able to handle the mess if I only had one child, but when you have 6, it’s a crazy mess.

So I decided to come up with an easy solution that would be cost-effective. Yes, I nailed both of them with these babies.

I made DIY instant oatmeal packets for my beloveds. And yes, I made them suitable to fill up a kid’s tummy instead of an ant’s stomach like the store instant oatmeal packets.
