***WINNER UPDATE 08/16***
CONGRATULATIONS TO ENTRY #157, Facebook "Liker",
Lisa Proffitt May !!!
I am very excited to announce the Newest GIVEAWAY Here on the blog! I just received this prize pack for myself and another prize pack is being provided for one of you! I know whoever wins this one will be as excited as I was to receive this awesome package in the mail!
Just in time for BACK TO SCHOOL comes this YOPLAIT GO-GURT YOGURT & KEEP COOL IN SCHOOL PRIZE PACKAGE!
This year, going back to school will be cooler than ever with Yoplait Go-Gurt! Simply throw a tube of Go-Gurt in the freezer at night and add it to your child´s lunch bag before heading out in the morning.
There is no ice pack needed - Go-Gurt (and Simply... Go-Gurt too!) is specially made to freeze and thaw, keeping the yogurt, and the rest of lunch, cool until lunch time.
With Go-Gurt yogurt in your child´s lunch box, you can feel confident that there will be no snack trading at lunch time since Go-Gurt has a taste and texture that kids love! Moms can feel good about packing Go-Gurt each morning since each portable tube contains a good source of calcium and vitamin D, providing a wholesome addition to a well-balanced lunch. Available in a variety of cool, fun flavors like Strawberry Splash and Chill-Out Cherry, Go-Gurt will quickly become a refreshing classroom favorite.
PRINTABLE COUPON HERE Exclusively for my Blog Readers for $0.85 off one box of Yoplait Go-Gurt yogurt!
One lucky reader will receive a coupon for a free sample of Go-Gurt*, as well as a "Keeping Cool in School" prize pack that includes an insulated lunch tote, mini water bottle, sandwich keeper, cool breeze pen fan, and some fun school supplies for the new school year.
I absolutely LOVE every item in this prize pack! The Go-Gurt is definately the way to go for school lunches! Being able to freeze it and then just pop it into the super cute insulated lunch tote is so convenient! I REALLY Love the mini-water bottle! It has the frozen center core so that their drink will stay cold, which I had never used before and is now a must have for packing lunches! All you do is freeze the center core for 4 hrs, then place it back into the canister, fill with drink & it's ready to go! It's in a matching lime green color, as well! You know we have to coordinate those lunch bags! *smile* Add the Go- gurt, pop a sandwich in the sandwich keeper and this prize pack is a great all in one for school lunch!
The highlighters, pencils, pen and calculator are also great necessities for BACK TO SCHOOL!
Isn't this just one of the greatest multi-item Giveaways ever!!

This will be my first year making a school lunch. I love the idea of keeping it fun with dinosaur shaped sandwiches for my son.

I love making my daughters' lunches because she always helps me what she wants to eat. Then I like to stick in an extra "special" treat for her to find the next day at lunch! kkdrees2@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI got a really cute sandwich cutter that cuts my kids sandwiches into a star shape and I always leave a little note. I also like to switch it up and give my kids other foods in their lunches like fresh vegetables and fruit with fun dipping sauces.

I'm going to do what my mom did. different lunches everyday of the week. My husband got stuck with PB & J EVERY day he couldn't even pick the flavor of jam! So mixing it up and letting the kids have a say.
ReplyDeletewell my daughter doesn't ;ike eating sandwiches so wat I do, is I cut the sliced cheese and turkey with those sandwiches cuters. I let her pick a shape for each day.
ReplyDeleteI like cutting the sandwiches into cute shapes with cookie cutters for the younger set. My girls also like rolled and sliced sandwiches (pinwheels) made with cream cheese and whatever is on hand!

ReplyDeleteI always like to have a small thermos for warm foods such as stew or mac-n-cheese for when the weather gets cooler.

ReplyDeleteMy daughter is 7 and I always cut her sandwiches into shapes. When she was having severe stomach problems, this seemed to help her eat. Because of her stomach problems we had to cut out traditional lunches and instead she would take plums, nectarines, oranges, grapes and so on. The teachers thought I was a heath nut til I explained things to them.

Foods in special shapes or adding a 'dipping sauce' can liven up any fruits, veggies or pretzel sticks and a special note or even a corny joke is always fun.

Simply add water rather than fatty, sugary milk or Juices full of corn syrup! Its a good first step.

:) I am also a fan of leaving notes in their lunch boxes, especially if they have a big test/presentation. Sometimes a hand made card works well.
ReplyDeleteI love shopping for fun snacks... I like to surprise them that way.

My daughter does not realy eat sandwiches very often so we buy flavored wraps to make her lunches with. She loves her lunch burritos. I can also get her to eat some veggies this way buy putting some shredded lettuce or cabbage in the wrap with some meat and cream cheese. wendy.henderson@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI am a grandma and love packing my grandbaby's lunches with sticker sheets that she can ooh and aaah over while eating her favorite peanut butter sandwiches!
ReplyDeleteThanks for a wonderful site!

I freeze my kids juice boxes to keep their lunches nice and cool!
ReplyDeleteI always write notes with smiley faces and hearts for my boys in their lunches. They love their notes and my oldest saved them from last year and put them on his noteboard when he'd get home...
ReplyDeletecolby_cadens_mom@yahoo.com
I think notes are the way to go it lets your kid know that you were thinking about them when you were packing the lunch and gives them an opportunity to think about you as well
ReplyDeletelearnningthecoupons@yahoo.com
I give my child fruit and yougurt for lunch. I also leave little notes once in awhile to say I love them or to make them laugh

ReplyDeleteWe homeschool but want the girls to feel like it's more like "school" so we pack a lunch up and have lunch time together, sometimes outside. I always pack up some fruit, yogurt and a turkey sandwich. Then to make it extra special....I put an encouraging note in the lunch box, just to let them know how special they are!
ReplyDeleteI like packing my kids lunches that way I know they are getting a well balanced lunch and I can be sure they ate enough of what they like...
ReplyDeletejcking101094@msn.com
My kids and I plan out what they like to eat, so I know they are getting a good lunch. I tell them what's on sale each week, and they let me know what they would like.

I think the best thing to do is have them help pack it the night before and have it sit in the fridge overnight so there are no fights as the school bus is pulling up about what is going in the lunch.

ReplyDeleteMy 3 year old daughter isn't in school but she stays with family whenever I work. I decided to buy her a Tinkerbell lunch bag and pack stuff that I know she would like wherever she is. She thinks its the greatest thing in the world to pack her lunch bag with me even if she doesn't eat the food out of it that next day. We always make healthy choices so that I know she is getting the nutrition she needs.

with 3 growing boys, they seem to want a larger lunch, so i allow for one healthy snack and one "junk" snack. they pack their own snacks every day and they choose a fruit or frozen go-gurt and cookies or fruit snack (for example).
ReplyDeleteMy children have a gluten allergy and so school lunches are always a challenge. Often I take left overs from the night before and use that as their main meal. I also add a piece of fruit, a vegitable and a dairy such as go-gurt or even yogurt covered raisens. The kids love when their fruit is frozen. It keeps the lunch fresh and provides a cool snack for those first few weeks when the temp is over 100.
