People Towels are Perfect for Back-to-School and Eco-Lunchboxes!

Back to school is quickly approaching in my neck of the woods. Regardless of whether it is still approaching or already here for you, we as parents want our kids to be prepared. With all the school supplies one needs for school, sometimes there are things that are overlooked. I am glad to know there are Eco-friendly alternatives out there for Back to school items. I love to find things that will help in the classroom or at home if you homeschool and also are better for the environment as well.

People Towels are an on-the-go or at home alternative to paper towels. We use them here in my home and on-the-go because I homeschool. We end up using them a lot and we love to have them on hand to clean up small spills or wipe up messes. They are great for sticky fingers and messy faces and hold up better than a regular paper towel. They are also Earth friendly because they can be used over and over again.

They come in so many different designs that are printed with eco-friendly dyes. You can also create your own custom design. They also have convenient hang tags that let you attach them to loops or clips on your backpack, bag, belt buckle or purse. They are made of 100% certified organic Fair Trade cotton. The light-weight fabric is absorbent, yet dries quickly. They are machine washable and will last for years. They do fade slightly and soften after repeated washings.

People Towels are great for packing for car rides or trips and are especially nice to have with a packed lunch or picnic. If you send your kids to public school and pack lunches for them these are wonderful to use instead of a napkin or paper towel. These personal hand towels are reusable and save trees, reduce landfill waste, cut CO2 emissions and conserve water. 

 So make a sustainable lifestyle change and reduce your carbon footprint with PeopleTowels!

Rubbermaid LunchBlox Sandwich Kit Review

The school year is just around the corner and whether you homeschool like me and take lunches on the road for field trips and car rides or pack lunches for your kids to take to school, the Rubbermaid LunchBlox food storage system makes it easy to pack and keep your lunches organized until you are ready to eat the contents. These containers snap together in several different ways so that they use the space in your lunch bag or box more efficiently. Each container is well proportioned to common lunch foods with handy measurements on the sides of each container (cups, oz, or ml). You really don't have to pack a common lunch in these though. With these you can get pretty fancy with your lunch, just use your imagination or these pinned ideas in my Bento Pinterest board! The included Guacamole Green Lids for each container shut tight and have thumb tabs for easier opening. Your lunch stays chilled with snap in Blue Ice. Rubbermaid LunchBlox containers come in kits and are also sold separately. Available kits are the LunchBlox: Sandwich Kit, Salad Kit and Entrée Kit. You can also buy Lunch Bags specifically designed for the LunchBlox containers and extra Blue Ice in small or medium as needed.

• Containers stack compactly to stay organized and snap together so won't jostle around too much in transit.
• Blue Ice keeps your lunch cool on the go
• Secure lid seal and thumb tabs for easier opening
• BPA-free
• Microwave, Dishwasher and Freezer Safe

I received the Rubbermaid LunchBlox Sandwich Kit to review for free. I noticed right away that the packaging had a sticker on it that said you could save over $5 on brand name lunch products. I opened it and sure enough there were coupons inside for products like: Starkist, French's, Sandwich Thins, Rubbermaid and LunchBlox. There was also a 1 oz (28 g) sample of French's Dijon Mustard with Chardonnay with a recipe for Dijon Chicken on the back inside. I was very happy with how well the LunchBlox Sandwich Kit fit into my lunch bag and also tried it in my daughter's in a slightly different configuration which worked well too. I love how the Blue Ice keeps everything that is right above or below it chilled. If you don't need to keep some of the items in your LunchBlox containers cool you can configure those containers on the top of the other containers so they don't touch the Blue Ice at all. These are perfect for taking on car rides, field trips, picnics, camping trips, business trips and packed lunches for school, work and other functions.

Rubbermaid LunchBlox Sandwich Kit Includes: 2 Snack Containers (.5 cup capacity), 1 Side Container (1.2 cup capacity), 1 Sandwich Container (2.6 cup capacity) and 1 Medium Blue Ice

• Snack Containers: Portions your salty or sweet snacks. You can also use them for spreads, dressings, dips or other things that might otherwise make your sandwich or snacks soggy. Great for yogurt, small or cut up fruit, chips, pretzels, crackers, cookies, etc....just to name a few.
• Side Containers: perfectly portioned for fruit, veggies, and other sides.
• Sandwich Containers: holds a sandwich, specialty bread, or other good sized meal.
• Snap In Blue Ice: lunch stays colder longer with blue ice.

Lunchables Lunch Note Promise SiteWarming Twitter Party

About Lunch Note Promise:
Beginning this week, the folks at Lunchables invite parents across the country to take a moment and place a note of encouragement in their child’s lunch before they go to school. If you homeschool like me and make meals on the go put a little note in for the car ride to brighten their day. Are you ready to promise to join the campaign to give children what they need – a little encouragement?

For every parent that makes that promise at Lunch Note Promise, Lunchables will donate a meal to children and families in need through Feeding America, which serves an estimated nine million children each year. Together we can help Lunchables reach their goal of turning 100,000 promises into up to 100,000 meals!

So, go to Lunch Note Promise and make your promise. Then they also have neat downloadable lunch notes that are in PDF format for you to print out! Easy!

About the Party:
I just learned on Resourceful Mommy that Lunchables is having a Twitter SiteWarming party Tonight for their new website, Lunch Note Promise and I thought you might like to know about it.

Date: Friday, September 11th
Time: 9p.m.-10p.m. ET
Hashtag: #Lunchables
Location: Twitter
Host and Who to Follow: @ElizCron on behalf of Lunchables, @ResourcefulMom, and @TwitterMoms

Go HERE to find out more on the party and to RSVP!

*Note on Lunchables...they aren't what they used to be. They are a lot healthier and more wholesome than the Lunchables they had back when I was in school. Check out what Resourceful Mommy says about them and then go check the them out on the Lunchables website. Sure they still have the cold pizza, but it has wholegrain crust now and they also have New Lunchables with sub sandwiches! They also have added bottled spring water, apple sauce, sugar-free Jell-O, and 100% juice to the meals.
