EasyLunchBoxes: Kids Back To School Lunch Box Review & Giveaway

For Starters....

WE ARE ALL MOVED IN!! YAY!! (Not unpacked, but still...)

Internet is hooked up.

I have just enough dishes unpacked and washed.

But my house still looks like a tornado passed through it... rough.

Now I will be able to catch up on my giveaways!! YESSSS!

Tomorrow *Lil Man* heads off to his first day of PRE-K!!

I can't believe that his first day of school is already here!!

We already have his lunch packed and ready to go!

Thankfully the folks over at EasyLunchBoxes have provided *Lil Man* with his first lunch box!

These are the perfect kids lunch boxes!

The containers come with four different lids.

*Lil Man* had a fun time picking out which color lid he wanted to take to school tomorrow!

The plastic containers fit perfectly into the lunch pail and there is still room on top of the container to put other things such as a juice box or a zip lock bag of pretzels!

*Lil Man* decided to go with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, pretzels, and cheese in his lunch container. He also wanted to pack a juice box and a banana! Everything fit perfectly into the lunch bag and he is overly excited to take this all to school tomorrow!

Check out the food containers.

Check out the lunch bag coolers.

One of my favorite things about EasyLunchBoxes is their Gallery of easy lunches! What great ideas for packing lunch for *Lil Man*!

4 lids & 4 bottoms - $13.95

Moving Day!

Where is the giveaway that I promised from yesterday??

EEEKKK!!

I have no Internet right now!

I am getting it set up tomorrow and I have to blog from my phone!

I am going to try and run over to the 'rents casa and post a giveaway.

I literally have (at least) ten giveaways that I need to share!!

Why do I have no Internet!?!?

I'm moving!!

The cable/Internet guy will be at my house tomorrow!!

Sad story...

I have moved *too many times to count* in the past 5-6 years.

I have had the same bedroom furniture set the entire time.

I've had teenage boys move my belongings... and also moving companies....

It's all the same.

They are SO rough with everything!

My bedroom set has been through the ringer!!

I think it's about time for a new one :)

Maybe a tempurpedic mattress too!

;) ;)

I am DEF looking at my fav place...

CSN STORES!!

They have tons of bedroom furniture sets to choose from!

Heck, I might get *lil man* a new set too!

I really like this platform bed!! :)

Ok, I'm off to start the unpacking!!

Kidorable Review && Umbrealla Giveaway

It's that time again!

Time for a Review && Giveaway!!

The folks over at Kidorable.com sent my son a few of their products, he decided to go with the frog line!

The frog umbrella :)

The Frog Raincoat :)

The Frog Rain Boots :)

*Lil Man* picked everything out himself. When the box arrived he promptly put everything on and asked me where his frog backpack was!! Looks like I'll be ordering one!!

The people at Kidorable.com promptly shipped the items to me. They arrived super fast! The boots came in a cute little box, the umbrella was in a sleeve, and the rain coat came with a frog hanger! *Lil Man* Can.Not. get enough of these frog items!

The temp outside was in the 100's but *Lil Man* had to wear his new stuff.

He put on his boots (on the wrong feet of course), slipped into his rain coat, and then popped open the frog umbrella! The eyes on the umbrella are my personal favorite part!

Isn't he a doll!?!?!

(Yes, it was HOTTTT!! Yes, we promptly came inside to play with our new things. AND, yes... I did what he asked and "made it rain" .... with the water hose!)

Where To Buy:

You can purchase these snacks at www.Kidorable.com (prices vary)

Peeled Snacks: Review && Giveaway

I LOVE FRUIT!!

DO YOU LOVE FRUIT???

My *Lil Man* LOVES fruit, the trouble is that that he eats apples in the car and leaves the core on the floor. Yuck! It then tends to roll under the seat, get stuck there, and eventually starts stinking up everything!

That is never any fun!

How do we beat the mess of banana peels and apple cores getting lost in the car?

PEELED SNACKS!

A Little Bit About The Company:

In New York City in 2004, Noha Waibsnaider founded Peeled Snacks when she noticed something missing from the world of snack foods. Store shelves were full of processed potato chips, corn syrup-filled candy, and energy bars made with too many mysterious ingredients. But you couldn't get anything healthy and tasty that made you feel good about snacking. So she set about to fix that problem.

Her solution? Three tasty and nourishing varieties of fruit & nut mixes that became Peeled Snacks. Peeled Snacks are made with ingredients that you recognize. Large, easy-to-eat pieces of fruit and nuts provide a natural source of vitamins, minerals and fiber - with NO added sugar or fat. The nuts are dry roasted and lightly salted. And for the chocolate lovers, we use the finest rich dark chocolate with 61% cacao in our Shock-olate variety.

Make snacking a satisfying part of your lifestyle by eating food as it was meant to be: peeled.

The Review:

We were sent the Tropical Organic Mix to sample. This mix contains dried pineapples, dried bananas, and dried mango.

The packaging is super cute! Lil Man rather enjoyed picking the bag color over picking what was inside each bag.

We started out with the pineapple.

I handed *Lil Man* the bag of pineapples, snapped this picture, and they were devoured before I could try any. Needless to say, these were a hit! *Lil Man* shared them with a nine year old, six year old, and two year old.

When they had finished them off every single one of the kids was asking for more!

Just now I opened the bananas and tried to keep them hidden so I could eat more than one....

No such luck.

*Lil Man* caught me and snatched them! He shared them with his two year old friend, they finished them off.

Between the two of them they ate the entire package of bananas and mangoes within five minutes.

The kids LOVE em! (and I do too!)

There are many things that I enjoy about these snacks! First off, they are organic. Second, I can order them online and have them shipped to my house. Third, my son LOVES them. And lastly, when I am getting my morning coffee at Starbucks I can pick these up!

You heard me!

They are now carrying these delicious snacks at Starbucks!

Where To Buy:

You can purchase these snacks at www.PeeledSnacks.com (prices vary)

Your local Starbucks!
