Packing Healthy Lunches Without all the Crap

Crap or not crap?

What’s good, what’s bad? Do your kids know the difference? Do you?

Ok, what’s with ‘Crap’? Yes, it’s a strong and somewhat offensive word to some, lol.  And you can read all about my affinity for that word in my guest post about packing a healthy kids lunch on Market Mommies – a wonderful site that connects moms in business with moms who need their services and products.

Toni Bloomfield is the founder of Market Mommies. And I was pleased to be invited to contribute to the Market Mommies blog because Toni and I share a similar business strategy. She writes:

“There are moms all over this country trying to start a business, or grow a business. Many out of the basements or spare bedrooms in their houses. They don’t have the resources or know how to support their business through marketing. Most of the time, they rely on word of mouth. I’m a mom that has always wanted to start a business. I am in awe of women who juggle all their family commitments with the work that it takes to start a business. “

Word of mouth is the only way I’m currently growing my business, as I don’t do any paid advertising. The blogging world is an amazingly supportive and vibrant resource for knowledge and communication. I’m happy to share a few lunch packing tips with her audience, and she in turn, offers me a chance to showcase my products. I love the whole give and take aspect of the online communities.

I am SO GLAD you didn’t say M&M’s and Peanut Butter/chocolate candies are crap! Thank You! Just a heads up I got my set in the mail and will be doing my review the week of the 23rd.

I’m looking forward to testing your lunchboxes out in my effort to save $ and eat better.

I think these lunchboxes are the best idea for kids lunches. I love that all of the food has it’s own little compartment and will not get squished. I think my kids will love packing thier lunch inside it’s own little spot. I see lots of yummy lunches in my kids future!

As women & moms it is so important to support each other in all our endeavors. It is so fun watching each of our businesses grow and expand. It is also very helpful to get advice from each other on parenting!! xo

I really love these lunchboxes! I have two still in elementary school, it’s a charter school so while they have a good lunch program, it is expensive. These lunchboxes will make it so much easier to pack and save $$ too.

Love the design of these, and I love that you can buy a 4 pack of the inside pieces. That way, you can easily pack the non-soggy foods a couple days in advance. Things would be sped up if all there was to do in the morning was add a sandwich or a few scoops of last night’s pasta. We love doing bento style lunches, and your design is perfect for that!

I love that your lunch boxes are one piece instead of trying to find several different containers and less chance of losing them! I also like that they are non-toxic plastic. I’m going to have to try these!

I love the fact that you use the word crap in this post. I love the idea of green lunch boxes and can’t wait for my daughters to start school so they can use one.
