What’s the secret to keeping my kids happy? It’s sort of simple… SNACKS! I wish I was exaggerating, but I’m not. Almost always when they’re unhappy, a snack seems to do the trick. It’s not necessarily the solution to the reason why they’re upset (they might be tired, bored, exhausted or just upset), but a snack helps calm them down almost immediately. Once they are back to their happy old selves, I can help address the real issue. Basically, I never leave home without snacks!<\/p>\n

While I may be super organized when it comes to kids snacks, I can’t say the same is true for myself. In fact, I’m probably neglecting myself when it comes to my eating habits. I tend to focus on what the kids are eating and I’m an after thought. Between school drops off and picks up, heading to the park or play-dates or driving them to their extra curricular activities, there isn’t much time to get MYSELF\u00a0organized. This leaves me eating their scraps or worse yet, just grabbing the first food I see in sight which is usually unhealthy and full of sugar or salt (or both).<\/p>\n

I’m really organized as a mother, but I’m terrible at self-care – clearly! But I bet I’m not the only one. I’m pretty sure most parents fall into the same category. That’s why I was excited to try out a new line of snacks that’s currently available in Ontario that focuses on the needs of adults (because we matter too!!).<\/p>\n
