Colorful Reuseable Straws

One thing to have on hand when you have children are straws.  These straws from BESU are great because you get 25 different straws and a straw cleaning brush.

They are super colorful, reusable, and have  ridges on them to keep them in your lidded cups.

You can use these in your home, work, school, play, and even for parties so everyone can tell which drink is theirs.

My 9 year already picked out her favorite, she just loves straws. I like that straws keep my teeth from being stained any more then they already are.

Carry Well

Love this Carry Well Shopping Bag system. Everything fits inside one of the other bags, and give you pretty much everything you need for a day at the market. You get 6 shopping bags, 2 produce bags, one insulated bag, and a bag which can carry up to 6 bottles of wine, liters, or sparkling cider.

Pretty colors are available just choose the one you like best. I picked orange because it stands out so I can remember it as well as reminding me about my daughter who loves orange. My husband even liked this set over others we have had in the past just because everything does fit together well.

Clear Glass Bottles with Chalk Label

We have been using less chemicals in our home and these glass bottle have been a helping hand. We have one for air freshener made from essential oils, one with wood cleaner, one with a disinfectant, and one with vinegar and water which takes care of most of cleaning needs. The chalk labels are repositionable and there is never any guessing what is inside of the bottles anymore.

We used to use our old plastic bottles from other cleaners, with my husband writing on the bottle what was inside but most of the time the kids would be using the wrong cleaner to do the job because they all had writing on top of the original cleaner that was inside of it to begin with.

Now even though the bottles look the same they don't have to look and see if there is writing on top of what was inside it before because we can easily change the name of the product with the chalk labels.

You can find these glass bottles on Amazon.

Bento Style Lunch Anyone?

The first time I saw a Bento box was in the movie Breakfast Club, and then again at my old friend's house, she was Asian and this is how her mother packed her lunches. Now with Bento Style lunches being all of the rage and a really fun way to get your children to eat healthy, try new eats, as well as having a well balanced meal, this might be something you could do to liven up your child's lunch.

Love the colors although my daughters were wondering where the pink and purple colors were so maybe Sunsella and other companies will come up with some that are more geared to colors children like hint, hint.

I like how there are different size compartments so you can have food that doesn't touch. I have a daughter who doesn't like her food to touch at all and this helps with in that department. My girls also like to help plan their meals.

Our children do eat lunch through the school most days but there are days that they have field trips, do not like the options or just want to take something a little extra special from time to time. I am not really good at making the lunches really cute, being a mom with Fibromyalgia that is just a bit much to ask, but just being able to separate the food and add color to the box amps up the love of what is provided enough for my girls to gobble their lunches down.

I use silicone cupcake liners to section off bigger spots for fair like snacks. Grapes, crackers, cheese, dip, etc. There are tons of ideas online, so making a lunch that is both fun and nutritional is only a search away.

You can find the Sunsella Bento Style Lunch Boxes on Amazon.
