To get ready for our busy week, I prepared a a bin of healthy snacks for the kids to 'grab & go'....things that could quickly go into a sports bag on the way out the door.
I made up several small servings of veggies and fruit {cherries & grapes}, along with ranch dip, single servings of guacamole, Greek yogurt, and Babybel cheese, along with 100% juice boxes.
And another important part of the day is making sure the kids drink lots of water!
I make sure that everyone fills up a water bottle before they leave.
I stopped buying cases of water years ago because I made a conscious decision to do our part as a family and not contribute to the 365 billion cans & bottles that make their way to the landfill each year.
The kind folks at Wenger contacted me and asked if we'd be willing to try out the latest in their water & sports bottles.
We said we'd love to because, honestly, we are always in need of water bottles around here.
Wenger Bottles are made with no toxins or harmful chemicals{Phthlates} and feature a Swiss made BPA free liner... important features I look for when shopping for water bottles.
I tested this style and I like the wide mouth top because I love lots of ice in my water.
My son grabbed this Wenger sports bottle and claimed it as his own. He has been using it everyday and one thing that this Mom likes about this bottle is that the Sporttop closes so easily with a 1/2 turn which means we have less spilled water inside the sports bag because of a bottle top that wasn't turned all the way! ! This bottle also features a straw inside so you can sip easily too.
Another thing I liked about these bottles is how light they are to carry around. And the red bottle fit well into the cup holder in my car...bonus. We were really happy with these water bottles and would not hesistate to purchase them in the future.

How about you? Do you have children attending camps this month? Or are your children starting back to school soon? Our schools don't start again until the last week of August. So we are revelling in a few more weeks of summer fun!
Wishing you a lovely weekend!

Soccer camp is over already but equestrian camp starts on Monday. Coincidentally, we seem to have misplaced pretty much all of our water bottles!
Your snack bin is a great idea. My daughter is ALWAYS ready to snack. Both of my kids have been playing soccer through the summer and my daughter will be doing a dance camp later this month. We have to keep many extra reusable water bottles, because they seem to disappear all the time.
I love your snack bin! I totally need to do something like that. Hope you are having a great summer!

Angie, you are such a smart mom, good for you! You must have very happy children, too, you take such great care of their needs.
Hugs, Cindy
Great ideas for snacks. Thanks!
Summer is almost over, less than 2 weeks to go, so we are taking one last family vacation before the carpooling starts again:)

My kids went back to school this week and over the weekend I was busy putting afterschool snack stuff together. I took your idea of putting cut up veggies in baggies.
Have a great Monday!
You've given me a great idea! I'm totally going to make up a little bin for the fridge of healthy prepared snack ideas for the kiddos, as well as a little basket on the counter! GENIUS!
