The First Lunch: What I Packed (And a FREE Photo Printing Offer!)

August 18, 2014 · by Tiffany Merritt · 3 Comments

This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Del Monte, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #DelMonteBTS http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV.

My baby girl is at her first day of Kindergarten at this very moment. I was all smiles dropping my Darah off this morning for her first of approximately 2,340 school days that stretch from 8-3 from now until she graduates from high school.

I pretty much cried like a baby all the way back home. This is such a HUGE milestone. It feels much more monumental than her first day of preschool or her first time heading to a school program 5 days a week. Now we are fully in “the system” of American education. All day, 5 days a week, 9 months of the year. It’s like my baby has entered into the work force, only her job is to learn.

I will miss her, you guys. She’s one of my lunch buddies. But now it’s time for her to sit with her friends at lunch and form new relationships over soy butter sandwiches (peanut-free…that’s how our school rolls) and juice boxes. But lunch will also be an opportunity for her to feel connected to her mama, even if only for a brief moment while she inspects the contents of her lunch box. This is just one more reason why I want to have lots of ideas on hand so that I can offer her a fun variety that she will also love.

Del Monte

One of the brands I look for on the shelves to add to my lunch box supply arsenal is . They have some great healthy products designed to give your kids the nutrition they need to stay focused in school. We regularly use Del Monte Fruit Cups as add-ins to our smoothies. For school lunches, though, we go with Fruit Burst Squeezers.

These are a HUGE hit with both of my girls and Darah in particular gets tickled any time she gets them as part of a meal or as a snack. So I knew it was the perfect thing to include in her very first school lunch box. I can promise you that it will be the very first thing she eats. I really love it because there’s NO high fructose corn syrup and no artificial flavors.

Lunch Box Breakdown

Here’s the complete breakdown of what I packed in Darah’s first lunch box. Maybe it will give you a few ideas to have on hand if you are a bout to launch into daily school lunch packing duty!

1. Soy butter and jelly sandwich. We don’t have nut allergies at my house, but they are very prevalent in her classroom, such that we have been asked not to send any food with nuts in it. I found soy butter at the store and it tastes quite similar to peanut butter, so we are going with that!

2. Cream cheese and celery. Ordinarily I would go with peanut butter and raisins on a piece of celery, but that’s not an option, so I headed in another direction. Darah loves cream cheese, so she’ll go to town on this. The celery isn’t going to load her down with awesome nutrients, but it’s still a veggie, so that makes it a win. Plus it has an awesome crunch factor! Carrots would be another great “crunch-tastic” veggie to send.

3. Del Mont Fruit Burst Squeezers. I have complete and total success getting my kids to eat these. More so than if I send a piece of fruit. I think it has to do with how fun they are to eat, and how easy they are to eat. Darah is a very slow eater. She always has been. So she might not make even finish her lunch in time if some of it isn’t liquid. Totally serious about that. Fruit Burst Squeezers go from full to completely sucked dry in about 30 seconds. It’s quite amazing to watch, actually!

Free Photo Offer

Right now at select Walmart Super Store locations you will find a free back-to-school photo offer! You can take your first day of school photo (or really, any photo you want!) of your child to Walmart between now and September 13th (or while supplies last) and get a free 5×7 print with a back to school border (the photo will be 4×6 and with the border, it will be 5×7). I had one printed of Darah in her classroom so that I can see her in her element during the day.

But it gets even better! When you get your free print you will also receive a $1 off Del Monte products coupon in the photo envelope. I took mine and headed straight over to the aisle with the products I wanted and got stocked up for a great price. That was a total win/win! Prices vary by area, so I can’t guarantee that you’ll find the same prices at your store, but the Fruit Burst Squeezers for me were priced at $2 per pack of 4. So with my coupon, I only spent $3 (plus tax) for 8 individual squeezers. Woo hoo!

Do you have any great ideas for stuff to include in school lunch boxes? And have you tried Del Monte Fruit Burst Squeezers, yet? Did your kids love them as much as mine do?

4 Tips to Make Healthier School Lunches Easy to Put Together

August 16, 2014 · by Tiffany Merritt · 1 Comment

My family is on the road to eating clean. I always say that we are “in process” or “on the road to” rather than declaring that we 100% do something because as soon as I declare that we’ve arrived at that place we strive for, I can feel the itch to fall off the bandwagon. We try to keep things realistic around here, and don’t set the bar too high. I’m going to cave every once in a while and buy the Double Stuf Oreos. And then I’ll do my best to not eat half the bag in one night, and stick to healthier choices for the most part.

I see packing school lunches as a very easy way to fall off the clean eating bandwagon in a major way. Most pre-packaged foods are full of additives, preservatives, enriched grains and high fructose corn syrup. Making everything from scratch every day isn’t realistic for us, so relying on packaged products, at least to some extent, is going to need to happen. Fortunately, there are some TERRIFIC options out there that can help you put together kick-butt lunches for your kids without having to yield to the nutritionally devoid stuff that fills most of the middle aisles in grocery stores.

NatureBox

NatureBox is one such company that I recently discovered, and that I highly recommend. NatureBox is a curated collection of carefully sourced and nutritionist-approved foods that make for some seriously yummy snacking. Everything is free of artifical sweeteners, colors and flavors.

When you are a NatureBox member, you are sent 5 different snacks in a box each month. You can choose your own snacks from a list of over 100 options (check out the snack catalog!), or you can let NatureBox surprise you, which could be a really fun way to try something new. As much as I love surprises, I also appreciate that I can pick and choose, as Darah’s school requests nut-free lunch offerings for all the kids due to the severity of nut allergies in the classroom.

4 Tips for Easier, Healthier School Lunches

Here are some strategies I’m using to help me get the school lunches made faster and to increase the odds that my child will actually eat what I send!

1. Keep the lunch snack bin full. I’ve got box in my pantry that is exclusively for school lunch snacks. I try to add something to it every time I shop for groceries, but I also love knowing that NatureBox can deliver to my house every month to help me stay stocked up on quality options that are healthier choices, but still feel like special treats.

2. Sneak in some superfoods. I’m not really a big fan of “tricking” my kids into eating healthy foods. I want them to understand that giving your body good fuel is something that we need to do to be our best selves. But sometimes you just have to get your kids to try something that they think they won’t like by trying it in a different way (for example, adding pumpkin to a bagel spread, or having lentil chips). Look for opportunities to present great choices in unique ways so that your kids will realize that they really like the good stuff, after all!

3. Rethink the sweet treats. I have a HUGE sweet tooth. It turned out to be my Achilles heel as I tried the whole Paleo diet thing (which I loved in pretty much every other aspect!). So I’m not really one to give my kid a banana and call it dessert. But that doesn’t mean that I can’t offer them better choices that are free of HFCS and food dyes. NatureBox has some great offerings in this department, and they make it easy for me to have some good choices, even when my options still seem a bit limited at my local grocery store.

4. Give fruit a new look. For my child, at this point sending in an entire piece of fruit is overkill. She won’t eat the whole thing even if she likes it, and in many cases, she won’t even make the attempt (apple = entirely too much effort, in her opinion). So I make it a point to have fruit for her, but to have it presented in a more interesting (and more serving-size appropriate) way. Examples include fruit squeeze pouches (her very favorite!) and dried fruit so she can get a lot of nutrition packed into just a handful of bites. We’ve all been munching on the NatureBox dried pears. They are super yum!

For the Bath and Shower Lovers: Sudsy Box

August 10, 2014 · by Tiffany Merritt · 2 Comments

My husband is a man who doesn’t care too much about gifts, doesn’t have expensive taste, and just isn’t too concerned with stuff, in general.

But he has one item that he is so very dead serious about: his soap. I have asked him on several occasions to help me finish off some shower gel by using it in the shower so that I can get a new one out, and since he is such a nice guy, he usually does it. But he has finally told me, “I REALLY like soap. And I REALLY like nice soap. And I REALLY REALLY REALLY don’t want to use shower gel ever.” For a man who doesn’t put too much thought or concern into trivial matters, I took this to mean that I need to . GET THIS MAN SOME AMAZING SOAP, STAT.

Sudsy Box

So when I heard about Sudsy Box, a bi-monthly artisan soap subscription service, I knew we were on to something. Sudsy Box kindly sent me a box to review, and I decided to open everything on camera so you could share in the experience of what opening a box is like. Check it out!

I have used the soaps now, and the smell is just heavenly when you are in the shower! I think those essential oils come out and really start to shine once a little steam and a little water is in the mix!

I am personally going to take advantage of the 20% off coupon and get Tim a half-yearly subscription, as it brings the price for 3 boxes down to $45.60, which is just $15.20/box (hint: that makes those 3 boxes even cheaper than the per box price for the yearly subscription, as the 20% off coupon is only for monthly or half-yearly subscriptions). AUGUST20 is what you’ll use at check out to snag this great deal. These make truly great gifts or a really fun and affordable treat for yourself!

Let me know if you decide to go for it!!!

A Clean Eating School Lunch Idea (Including Clean Hands Afterward!)

August 4, 2014 · by Tiffany Merritt · 2 Comments

This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group™ and Wet-Nap but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #showusyourmess http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV.

I still have two more weeks until my oldest is in kindergarten, and therefore, in school from 8-3 every day. That’s just 14 more days that I have to get my list of lunch ideas jotted down for quick and easy reference before each shopping trip, and every morning while making her lunch.

Ok, time for a moment of self-analysis: I’m making theses lists in a desperate attempt to try to control something, while watching my kids grow up and time marching on. I simply can’t slow it down, try as I may. I’m struggling with this kindergarten business much more than I struggled with turning 30 (I actually rather enjoyed that year!). And perhaps I’ll really enjoy this first year of Darah being in school for such long stretches, if I just give it the chance. I think that’s easier said than done, but however it goes, I’m gonna have some good lunch ideas, dang it!

I actually created a clean eating version of the ready-made lunches you can find in the refrigerated section of stores and will be sharing exactly what I put inside the kit in just a bit. It turned out great!

How to Replicate the Wet Napkin

Speaking of “clean” eating, the other thing I’ve been contemplating is how to replicate Darah having a wet napkin with her meals. This is something she has become quite used to at home, and I think every family has little idiosyncrasies that seem perfectly normal because you are used to them, until you step back for a moment and realize that it is actually rather unusual. Well, our kids get damp napkins to help them wipe their faces and hands with pretty much every meal. Anyone else out there do this?

I was originally thinking that I’d need to buy the canister of Wet-Naps and just pack them in a little plastic baggy for her each day. Seemed a bit wasteful, but I what other option did I have?

Oh wait! Wet-Nap packettes exist and they are PERFECT! These are individually packaged which make them ideal for many situations, including cleaning up after lunch. I used the Wet-Nap coupon (55 cents off, while supplies last) to snag these at Walmart for a great price. If you haven’t tried any Wet-Nap products in a while, they have made some improvements so that they are softer, yet stronger. They also include aloe to help moisturize the skin. Good stuff!

Where to Find Wet-Nap Products

I actually had a bit of trouble locating these in my Walmart, so I thought I’d let you in on exactly where I found them. Check the section near shampoo and conditioner that has other baby and feminine care products. That’s where I found mine! Other folks reported finding them in the napkin/paper goods aisle, which is where I looked first, but they were not there in my store!

Clean Eating Lunch Kit

Ok, so let’s break down what I found at Walmart to replicate those popular pre-made lunch kits (you know the ones…). To make it more in line with clean eating, I was looking to avoid artificial ingredients as much as possible, High Fructose Corn Syrup, enriched grains, pesticides and nitrates. I had a lot of success!

I used a pre-divided container just to give it more of that “lunch kit” feel, but of course that isn’t necessary. Use what you have, my friends!

I started with the fruit. I chose cantaloupe because my Walmart has a more limited selection of organic fruits, and canatloupe is on the “Clean 15” list, so pesticides aren’t as big of a concern for this conventionally grown product. Other options that aren’t organic would be kiwis, mangoes and bananas. Otherwise, try to get organic if at all possible.

I next added a sweet yet sensible treat. In this case I chose Somersaults because they do not contain enriched wheat or HFCS. I put them in a cupcake liner, just as I did with the fruit, so that they would stay separated.

For the drink, I decided to juice up Darah’s water, but just a touch. I found some organic pineapple juice (which tastes divine, but was definitely not cheap…hmph). I poured about 15% juice and made the rest water, and then added the mixture to a stainless steel cup. She’s used to water, and she’s used to watered-down juice, so I think she’ll like this just fine.

Now it’s time to make the meat, cheese and cracker combo! I couldn’t find the particular brand of crackers that I was hoping to buy, but I did find these whole wheat crackers from Carr. They were on the pricey end, but I liked their size. I used the cracker as my guide for how large the meat and cheese should be. And then I scoured the cabinets to find something that I could use to cut them to that size. I did eventually find something (though I was starting to sweat it, a bit!) and now I’ve got my go-to meat and cheese circle maker! :-).

When you are shopping for the meat, it’s really important to read your labels and look for the absence of nitrates. Most deli meats contain them, so start your search by looking for something that says “no preservatives” on the front as your starting point. As for the cheese, I looked for organic cheese first, and having not found any, I started looking for cheese with as few ingredients as possible, and no food coloring. The no food coloring bit wiped out all the “orange” cheeses immediately.

Gotta Keep ‘Em Separated

Once again, you’ll want to keep the crackers in a separate area from the meat and cheese, or else your kid will have soggy crackers by the time lunch rolls around. Besides, getting to build the little “sandwiches” is part of the fun!

Clean Up Time!

And of course, we can’t forget the Wet-Nap packet. It fits nice and neat in between the fruit and dessert. I realized after my creation was complete that there was room for a baby carrot or two, as well. Next time!

While choosing cleaner ingredients for this lunch kit does make it more expensive than it might be otherwise, the price still hovered right around $2.50, which is exactly what the more conventional kits cost. And honestly it didn’t take long at all to make. If you cut up your cantaloupe and your meat and cheese all in one setting for the week, which still only takes a few minutes, then putting lunch together each morning will be lightning-fast.

Happy lunching, friends! And don’t forget your Wet-Nap coupon!

A Practical Yet Totally Fun Subscription Box: Beauty Box 5

July 29, 2014 · by Tiffany Merritt · 7 Comments

Thanks to Beauty Box 5 for sending along a box for review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Referral links may be included.

I’ve been subscribing to various monthly box services for a few years now. They are especially fun for me because gifts are one of my top love languages, and with a subscription box, you get fun surprises in the mail every month.

One area where I’ve been hesitant to try subscriptions, though, was with makeup. So many of the options I have seen carry too much high-end stuff, or too many boutique brands that I’ll never be able to buy again, either due to price or limited availability. There is nothing worse than falling in love with a makeup product that you can’t get your hands on again. Ok, there’s a lot in life that is worse than that, I suppose, but you understand what I’m getting at, right? 😉

Beauty Box 5

I was very drawn to Beauty Box 5 because they have a really nice mix of higher end, niche, and more widely available and wallet-friendly products to check out. That is a great fit for me, because at the end of the day, I am always going to buy a fair percentage of my makeup from places like Target. This mama can’t have all her beauty products from Sephora, sorry to say!

I did a Beauty Box 5 review video that I’d love for you to check out so you can see exactly what’s inside. I’ll share some more thoughts about the products after the video, so scroll down to finish the post!

Ok, so now that I’ve had a chance to try everything, I want to share a few more thoughts about the items!

Revlon mascara: LOVE! I was already using a Revlon mascara faithfully, and I’m every bit as pleased with this one.

HASK hair mask: I used it a week ago and didn’t like how my hair looked and felt after the first wash (maybe I didn’t wash it out enough?). But I’ve washed it a few times since then and I think my hair does feel quite soft. So in the end, it was a win.

Nicka K nail color: I’m not big into nail polish, in general. This one was fine, but nothing to write home about.

Body Drench lip gloss: I wasn’t excited about it when I opened it, but you know what? It is REALLY soft. I do like it!

H2O Plus shampoo: I haven’t used it yet so I honestly can’t comment. Sorry! I didn’t want to use it during the 2 weeks after using the hair mask. I’ll update this post after trying it if I have particularly strong feelings one way or the other.

Beauty Box 5 Cost

This is a really affordable subscription box, and one that I have requested as a birthday gift because I loved it so very much. You can get them for $12/month if you pay month-by-month, or for $30 billed quarterly (which is $10/box) or $99 billed annually ($8.25/box). Shipping is free! I think $8.25 per box is a total steal, but let me show you how to get the first box even cheaper!

COUPON ALERT!!!

I’ve got a smokin’ hot coupon for you guys! You can get 50% off your first box by using the code HALFOFF at checkout. Just imagine getting all the goodies I showed you in the video, or something similar in nature, delivered to your door, for less than the cost of a tube of mascara. Kind of a no-brainer, don’t you think?

I’d love to hear if you already are enjoying this subscription, or if you decide that you want to try it. I can’t wait for my next box!!

The Dirtier the Clothes, the Bigger the Memories ($2 off Coupon)

February 24, 2014 · by Tiffany Merritt · Leave a Comment

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of White Cloud for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

What was the messiest activity you loved to do as a child? For me, it was making muddy acorns, which is a spin off of making mud pies. We had a large outdoor brick fireplace in our backyard, and it served as a kitchen. We also had a giant oak tree that produced thousands of acorns each year. I would get clay from under the house (I grew up in Alabama, where red clay was plentiful) and some dirt from the back yard, and I'd also get a bowl of water from the house. Then I'd gather up all the acorns I could hold, wash them one by one in the water, and then dredge them in the clay, followed by the dirt. I truly believed I was making gourmet acorns.

Poor squirrels.

But I'm sure they were able to undo my work easily enough, and I sure did have a lot of fun "cooking" in the backyard. I'm sure my parents didn't have quite as much fun when it was time to do the laundry, though. Dirt AND clay? Yikes!

White Cloud knows that as parents we are dealing with some really tough stains, though they also believe that, "The dirtier the clothes, the bigger the memory!" Their laundry care line has just realeased a new formula of products with 3-in-1 Micro Clean Technology that is enzyme-based to help attack even the toughest stains. If you Like White Cloud on Facebook, you'll likely find a high value coupon there to try the product (they have a limited quantity, so you'd better hurry!). The $2 off coupon is available if you share information about the coupon to others on Facebook or Twitter. If you'd rather not do that, you can still print a $1 off coupon. Limit one coupon per purchase on product specified. No cash back if coupon value is higher than purchase price. Void if reproduced, transferred, used to purchase products for resale, or where prohibited/regulated by law. Not valid on trial size. Consumer pays sales tax. Redeemable at participating retail stores. Valid only in the U.S.

White Cloud Laundry Care comes in Blooming Lavender, Summer Breeze and Tropica Fiesta. I've been craving warmer weather lately, so I personally would go for Summer Fiesta. Check out the Store Locator to see wher eyou can find the product for yourself. They are available at Walmart, and that's where I always find them. It's available in box liquid and powder form, in 100 and 150-ounce sizes.

Why I Love My Zubie Key

February 17, 2014 · by Tiffany Merritt · 1 Comment

This post brought to you by Zubie. All opinions are 100% mine.

Zubie is the ultimate road trip buddy! I've been using my Zubie key for the last 8 weeks, and I love that it is measuring some of my driving skills (and deficiencies) to help me to be better (and more gas-efficient!) driver.

I recently checked out my driving score with Zubie (which actually measures how Tim and I jointly drive since we both use the car). Not too bad, if I say so myself!

The area that needs the most work is on braking. And I do hate to throw my dear Tim under the bus, but it seems he has a bit of a heavy foot on the brakes, as 90% of the hard brake reports are from his driving sessions. Before I start to sound like I'm implying that he's an inferior driver, let me just go ahead and tell on myself for my faults: I'm terribly pokey, and I will do almost anything to avoid getting on interstates. So, I'm hardly without my driving flaws!

I know we are just about to launch into graduation season (really…it's just 3 months away!). This would e a great gift for a high school or even college grad to help them learn to fine tune their driving skills, and to use when planning trips with friends, or to keep up with their family members if others have the Zubie key, as well.

I love how discreet the installed Zubie key is. And I especially love that it isn't terribly easy for would-be thieves to see, either. in the unfortunate event that your car is stolen (crazy, but it happens!) the Zubie key will report back to you exactly where it is! I would have LOVED to have had something like this in my car when I lived in Memphis (very high car theft rate there).

Sound like something you'd like to have or like to give as a gift? Then hit the road with Zubie! Order today and SAVE 20% by using code SAVE20FEB. The discount applies to your Zubie key plus one year of service! Offer good through March 31, 2014. Shipping charges apply.

And don't forget to follow Zubie on Twitter as well as on Facebook. That's the best way to keep up with discounts, promotions, and cool ways that others are putting their Zubie keys to work!

EmbarK Online: Our Favorite Online Learning Program Now 50% Off

February 10, 2014 · by Tiffany Merritt · 2 Comments

This post brought to you by K12, the leader in online education for grades K-12. All opinions are 100% mine.

For the last two weeks, every evening after our 21 month old goes to bed, My 4 1/2 year old and I climb into my bed, open up the laptop, and log into EmbarK¹² Online and "play games." Only these are all learning games, perfect for young children ages 3-6.

Last week I witnessed Darah reading her very first book. It happened on EmbarK¹² Online and I'm not ashamed to tell you that I shed a few tears as I watched her work through each page (or in this case, screen). When she finished, she turned to look at me and was positively beaming. It is one of those childhood moments of hers that I will remember forever.

EmbarK12 Online – Over 830 interactive activities to engage your preschooler.

When I agreed to review this online learning system, I expected to enjoy it, but I didn't expect to absolutely LOVE it. But I really do. The huge variety of activities and the various levels of difficulty make it easy to customize what your child is working on based on their skill and comprehension level in each area. For Darah, she's more advanced in a few areas, and in others, needs to be working on the introductory lessons for now. Switching up the levels is seamless, which I really like!

I also really appreciate the responsive design of the program. Darah doesn't have great mouse skills yet, but she sure knows how to operate a tablet. Our laptop has a responsive screen, and that makes it really easy for her to press and swipe and move herself through the activities.

Darah requests to get to "play some of those fun games" with me every single night. Watching her do a little math, a little science, and a little reading before bed each night is something I'm totally on board with. EmbarK¹² Online makes it easy and fun. Check out this helpful video to learn a little bit more about the program.

50% Off Coupon

I'm thrilled to get to share with you a 50% off coupon for EmbarK¹² Online. This code brings the 12 month subsription price down to just $29.50 (regularly $59). If your child likes to play on the computer and if you are looking for some supplemental learning material, I definitely think EmbarK¹² Online is a fantastic choice. And I think $29.50 is a fantastic price for over 830 online, interactive, FUN activities! 🙂
