Does anyone else get excited about the start of a new school year? I honestly love this time of year, and not just because the kids go back to school and I don’t have to entertain them all day long! I love the fresh start of a new school year, and the way it forces us back into a routine after the laid back summer months. I look forward to seeing my kids learn and grow, make new friends and all fun fall activities. But, the start of a school year also means making school lunches and stocking up on healthier snacks that can fuel them throughout their busy day. Today I’m here to show you how I plan to start the new school year off right with these adorable free owl lunchbox notes and school snack ideas!
I’m that cheesy mom who loves to send little notes in my kids lunches from time to time. Whether they are taking a big test, or they just need a pick-me-up, it’s an easy way to show them I’m thinking of them. Plus, it’s such a simple way to brighten their day, especially when you include their favorite treats or snacks.
This summer I discovered Nice!® products at Walgreens. This new line of balanced food and beverages believes in celebrating the good in every day, in every food, offering a range of healthier products that nourish the body, and delicious treats that elevate the spirits so that you can live well for less. The upfront labeling and good for you ingredients, make it easy to find delicious snacks from a brand you can trust and with three growing kids, busy schedules and demanding jobs it’s nice to know that I can find convenient products that both my kids and I love.
This year my kids are involved in lots of after school activities, everything from creative writing and student council to soccer practice. Which, means they will need lots of fuel to help them power through their day. One of my favorite “fuel up” snacks is the Nice! Magic Mix or Nice! Fruit & Nut Trail Mix. Packed with lots of healthy protein this sweet and salty mix is my go-to snack on busy days, because I know it will tide them over until they get home.
But, hands down my kids favorite snack is the Nice! Organics White Cheddar Puffs. I love clipping one of my owl lunchbox notes to the top of the package and slipping it in their lunch or backpack for an after school treat. I’m normally not a fan of the cheddar puff snacks, but you have to trust me when I tell you these little puffs are SO GOOD! If I’m out running errands I’ll even slip a bag in my purse so I’m not tempted to run through a drive-through.
It’s time to start thinking about stocking up on school snacks and when you head to Walgreens to get your favorite snacks you can do good too! Nice! is donating back a portion of sales to the Me to We Foundation during the month of August on purchases made on select items. Every purchase gives school supplies to children in Kenya. You can track your impact by entering 658482 at walgreens.com/metowe
“Owl” bet it is going to be an amazing year and can’t wait to see what new and exciting things this school year has to bring. And when my kids need a little extra encouragement or a reminder of just how awesome they are, I’ll make sure to drop in one of these adorable free owl lunchbox notes with their favorite snacks!
