Meal Prep Containers

Having gone from a home with 6 plus children running around to now just having 2 plus around has left us with lots of leftovers. We like to freeze extra servings for meals throughout the month so we don't have as much waste and so there is something on hand when we are pressed for time.

Meal prep containers like this one from Yellow-Bumblebee are great for this purpose. They have three compartments one 16oz and two 8oz sections which make it easy to prepare meals ahead of time for work, school, or home.

These containers are reusable, freezer safe, dishwasher safe, microwave safe as well as being recyclable and BPA free. This set can be found at my affiliate link below.

Easy to use Decorating Pen

This decorating pen is so easy to use compared to others I have used. My girls had wanted that toy decorating pen but we came across this after seeing all of the horror stories of the toy version and this can be used by everyone in the family.

This is so easy to use and clean. You just pull the plunger to fill the pen with your desired chocolate colors or even sauces for savory dishes, and you are ready to decorate.

Just squeeze the pen once full and start writing. It is really easy and is comfortable to use, not too big, not heavy, and works like writing with a thicker pen.

Our family loves this for decorating plates to make them extra special. Think Holidays, Birthdays, Anniversaries, etc. So that we can do all kinds of colors at one time I am picking up more to keep on hand for Christmas cookie decorating.

This decorating pen can be found on NewXshop.

Florious

I really enjoy using these bags for traveling. I give each of our children a bag and they pack for our weekend trips. Although we haven't had one in a while we still have our plans set in how we pack for going away. I love that this is eco friendly and made from recycled materials.

The bag that you can store your cubes in between uses can also be used for packing. This is really nice and I hope to see it available in more colors in the near future.

This set can be found on Amazon.
