Prepping for School Lunch

Prepping for an Easy School Lunch

August 26, 2019 · In: Lifestyle, Momlife

This post was sponsored by Stretch Island as part of an Influencer Activation and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

Can you believe that I am already thinking about fixing those school lunches? The school year is practically here as is my list of school necessities and gear. I will have 3 in school, so that is 3 times the lunches. Here is how I am prepping for easy school lunches.

School Lunch

Organized Lunch Gear

The best thing I have done in regard to lunch gear is finding a lunch box that keeps things organized. It not only makes it easier to prep, but also makes it more fun for my kids. You can find all sorts of different lunch box organization products!

School LunchSchool Lunch

Prepping the food.

Like any other meal, I try to prep ahead of time for the kids’ school lunches. I know what my kids like and can have it all picked up from Walmart before the week begins. My oldest is loving to help prep her lunch which I think is great! I make sure to have items that she can easily place in her lunchbox, like the Stretch Island Strawberry Fruit Leather.

School Lunch

Stretch Island Fruit Leather is made from a vegan recipe, 100% fruit ingredients, and no synthetic colors or artificial flavors. I can’t forget to mention there is 0 sugar added! This better-for-you option is the perfect addition to any lunch box, and my kids can pack them since they are all individually wrapped. I even love the fact that I can pick them up easily at Walmart, either while shopping inside or through Grocery Online.

    My son isn’t old enough for school quite yet but he’s old enough to always ask for snacks when we’re out. I always keep snacks in my bag and these fruit leathers look like a great option!

Anyone else struggling with those hot nights 🔥🥴?! Those of you who know, y’all know.. and it can be miserable! I have found a way to help cool things off during my slumber, and that’s with @mybearaby bamboo sheets SET AND their duvet cover. They are all made from breathable bamboo fabric, giving way to naturally antibiotic bedding that is smooth and soft. 

The Bearaby Bamboo Sheets and Duvet Cover help reduce heat buildup overnight, are moisture-wicking (great for hot sleepers), and they feel cool when you get into bed. The perfect combination for a good night sleep 😴

Making Monday a little easier with this simple and Making Monday a little easier with this simple and oh so good recipe, Dirty Spaghetti! If you love dirty rice, then you need to give this Dirty Spaghetti a try - @kettleandfire brings that flavor!

Kettle & Fire Bone Beef Broth (16.9oz)
1 lb ground meat
1 lb sausage (Jimmy Dean’s pork sausage roll)
1 bunch Green onions
1 container of Savoie’s dressing mix
~1 1/2c Season Blend (chopped onion / bell pepper)
3oz tomato paste
3 tbsp minced garlic 
1 can of cream of golden mushroom soup
2 tbsp flour 
1 tbsp Cajun seasoning 
1 tsp garlic powder 
1 tsp onion powder 
2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 box of cooked spaghetti noodles 

Basically brown sausage and ground meat in a large pot along with the dressing mix. Allowing it to also cook off excess liquid. Add in your season blend and seasonings next, followed by tomato paste, minced garlic, and golden mushroom soup, and soup can filled with bone beef broth. Stir and add in Worcestershire sauce. Allow to cook for a few minutes, then add rest of bone beef broth and green onions. Simmer for another 3-5 minutes, then add flour and stir. Cook for another 5-10minutes, allowing it to thicken some before adding in cooked spaghetti!

Thank you to @hymelskajunkitchen for this dinner idea 🫶🏻
One of my favorite things to do is work in the yar One of my favorite things to do is work in the yard ☀️🌱 While I am doing all the things outside, I make sure I have my @solbari hat! It is a must-have, especially when it comes to UPF. UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor.

This measures how effectively a fabric blocks UV radiation from reaching the skin. All of Solbari products are tested and rated for UPF 50+ Blocks UVA and UVB rays. This is a big deal! My easiest hack for protecting my face/scalp from skin cancer and speeding up those signs of aging. #solbari

#ad Did someone say Mother’s Day? Y’all it’s #ad Did someone say Mother’s Day? Y’all it’s right around the corner, and why not hear from a mother herself on some great gift ideas? 💁🏻‍♀️

@everskincare is basically “Facelift in a bottle”. Ok, SOLD! The formula is clean, and it’s formulated with LSR10, aka aging’s worst enemy, clinically proven to reduce the top 10 signs of aging. 
@trilastinskincare is a nourishing body oil that soothes dry skin, smooths skin texture, and reduces the appearance of stretch marks. Not to mention that it’s all-natural, hypoallergenic, non-greasy and a pregnancy-safe formula!
@blissybrand is the best kept secret that all mothers want to know about! Their signature Blissy Silk Pillowcase is crafted from 100% mulberry silk. Unlike cotton, silk doesn’t tug on your skin or absorb moisture. This helps minimize wrinkles, retain hydration, and support a clearer, more youthful complexion. Plus, it helps you wake up with smoother, frizz-free hair!
@jennybarkertheflowerdoctor ‘s book, Flower Energy: Channeling the Healing Power of Blooms, not only teaches you to interpret and channel the messages of each unique flower it holds, but the beautiful photos within are inspiring. A book that brings power and beauty to flowers and your coffee table !
@fieldsgreat knows how busy moms can be, and their Plant-Based Protein Blend contains 30g protein PLUS 5g fiber and 0g sugar in one simple shake. That’s what I am talking about! Supporting strength, digestion, and a steady energy - especially for those over 40.

Take it from this mom, these all make for great Mother’s Day gift ideas!
