In my slow change to being more “green” and earth friendly, one change I’ve been wanting to make for a while has been the switch from plastic sandwich bags to reusable ones. I finally got the chance to try one out when 3greenmoms, creators of Lunchskins, sent me a sandwich bag for review. Not only is it practical and saves plastic from heading to the land fill, but it is so much more stylish!  I love the designs and how every member of the family can have their own color or design. And? The prices aren’t ridiculous either. Especially when you consider that with the price of two boxes of the plastic bags that just go in the trash add up to be the cost of one bag that can be used for years.

The Lunchskins comes in 3 sizes: Snack, Sandwich, and Sub.  They each come in colorful designs and simply fold over the top of securely velcro closed. Savannah has been using hers for the morning often, when she just wants a bag of cereal to munch on and then can be closed up for later. They are dishwasher safe, I just threw mine upside down on the top rack to get it cleaned.  The velcro did curl up a little bit around the edges but that’s pretty typical for velcro in my experience.  I love that it saves us money and environmentally friendly and will definitely be purchasing more so we all can have one for our picnic lunches!  I so wished I had invested in these sooner to have when I was packing my lunches for school.

Lunchskins can be found on their website for more information and ordering.

Sensible Sippers. The name says it all, folks. These juice boxes help to make giving our children “sensible” and healthy drinks when ever needed.  For those school lunch boxes, a quick drink for on the go, etc. these are perfect!

What makes these different that other juice boxes, you ask?  Well, for starters it’s certified organic in accordance with the USDA’s National Organic Program. That means there are no pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, growth hormones, and basically no yucky stuff that could harm our kids.  It has no added sugars, preservatives, or artificial flavors, just a bunch of goodness. Also?  How many of you moms water down juice before you give it to your kids?  I know I do!  This juice comes already watered down to make it convenient for us moms on the go.  It’s made with 50% organic juice and 50% water which reduces the calories by half as well as the sugar in take.

But the best part?  Savannah loves it, so we both win.  Which especially means a lot right now as she is sick and is hardly eating or drinking anything, but she asks for this one! We received both the Apple and the Fruit Punch and she has enjoyed them both.

It’s a thumbs up from this mom!
