My kids love to snack. It is probably one of the most commonly uttered phrases in my home … “Mom, can I have a snack?” It can be very daunting to constantly come up with new, and healthy snacks for them to enjoy. Especially when you take into consideration the fact that they can never agree on what they want and that what they loved yesterday, they will not love today. The only exception to this rule is yogurt. My {Read More}
My kids like a fairly elaborate lunch. Especially V. She is not satisfied with just a simple PB&J … she wants me to get creative with her lunch all the time. I really struggled with packing her school lunches because of her request for new lunches each day. Thankfully, I had some help! MOMables takes all of the work out of planning lunches! Each week, you can download a new menu (complete with shopping list!) from the MOMables website. This {Read More}
My kids love fruit snacks. It is one of their top five most requested snacks, and we always pick up a box or two each time we go to the market. Jay likes them as well, so I end up getting him his own box (or the kids fruit snacks will be gone in a day or two). Yet, I don’t like to give them fruit snacks all the time. Some of them are packed with artificial colors, flavors and {Read More}

I had the chance to try out some Yoplait Kids to see what it was all about, and see how my {Read More}

With the never end stream of holiday parties that I am attending this year (Jay & I both have VERY big families) it is important for me to find something that is not only delicious, but also good for you, and easy to travel with, to bring for everyone to munch on.
