I love going on road trips. There is something about getting in the car with my family and just having the open road in front of me. But eating on the road is usually stopping at a gas station and filling up on junk food. Now, 7-Eleven has a solution. We just traveled from LA to Seattle and it was nice being able to get some healthy food. I was able to have salads while the kids had fruit cups, sandwiches and yogurt cups.

Currently 7-Eleven offers a variety of fresh foods offerings including:

Fresh sandwiches
Salads
Fresh cut fruit
Whole fruit
Yoplait Yogurt Parfait with oats and honey granola
Bistro Snack packs with mini pitas, cheddar cheese cubes, red grapes, celery, baby carrots and hummus.

7-Eleven is always looking to accommodate the needs of its guests including those watching their waistlines. Fresh foods are a priority for me and happen to be a priority for 7-Eleven as well. They continue to fulfill our needs while on the go. They know we are all looking for healthier fresh food items as well as the more indulgent items. I really feel there is a trend to eat healthier. At least I know our family is really trying to eat healthier. 7-Eleven’s fresh foods are prepared in local kitchens and delivered to stores daily ensuring the quality we found.

Svan Baby & Toddler Totseat: Table Feeding Made Simple On The Go

August 10, 2013 by Momstart Leave a Comment

I just found a product that I wish I had. I loved to get out of the house after I had two kids but my kids were both so close in age that feeding them was difficult. I would have to hold them both or take turns or depend on other moms and of course there is nothing wrong with depending on friends. But, this product would have been ever so helpful with feeding my kids on the go.

Svan introduces the Totseat, the Original Portable Child Seat for Babies Who Lunch. The Totseat®, from Scotland, is a new addition to its children’s seating line. Made of fabric, this portable, washable and easy-to-use seat is designed to safely anchor a little one in an adult chair in the absence of a high chair. The Totseat weighs mere ounces and easily folds to fit in a diaper bag, purse or tote.

The Totseat’s design can be easily adapted to fit a variety of adult chairs and provide perfect seating for babies and toddlers. Created with input from safety experts, pediatricians and physiotherapists, the Totseat fastens high across the back of the chair and features a 3-point adjustable safety harness for optimum comfort and safety of the seated child. A cummerbund is also included for use with open-back chairs to provide additional support.

An essential item for parents on the go, the Totseat eliminates the need to hunt down a high chair when visiting friends or traveling. The machine-washable seat is suitable for children from eight months of age up to 30 months. The Totseat should be used on an appropriate stable chair on level ground; a child in the Totseat should never be left unattended.

Available in a range of 6 stylish and colorful patterns including Alphabet, Apple, Bramble, Chocolate Chip, Coffee Bean and Tapas, the Totseat has a recommended retail of $34.95. A coordinating carry pouch is included. Invented in Edinburgh, Scotland, the Totseat is Europe’s leading brand of travel chair harness and is sold in 40 countries around the world.

Totseat is available at www.svan.com and at leading specialty juvenile products stores nationwide including Buy Buy Baby.

To celebrate this new addition to the Svan family Svan is hosting a Babies Who Lunch Sweepstakes along with NurturMe, MAM and Kushies. Enter the Totseat Babies Who Lunch Sweepstakes:

Goodbyn Bynto On The Go Storage Solutions

I received samples from Goodbyn, They’re a small company started by a mother of three who was frustrated with the mess and waste of typical lunch boxes. Their kids’ lunch containers – the Bynto and On the Go - hit Target shelves this month, something they are pretty excited about and so am I.

My kids are in summer camp and I’ve been making or helping them make their lunches every day. My kids are very independent and very vocal about what they eat every day. I usually load up plastic bags with veggies and fruit and we risk the chance of it getting squished. Plus there’s this huge interest in making bento boxes for children to have as their lunch. I love the idea, it’s a chance to give kids a very large variety of healthy options. You know what they are eating every day.

Goodbyn makes great bento boxes now my kids will just need a larger lunch box to hold these new bento boxes. Other products they make include sandwich holders and little bitty containers that could be used for dressing on salads or dip, or maybe seeds. Whenever we go to the zoo or take any kind of family day trip I make our lunches and usually my husbands is the one that gets squished. Now I’m so excited to keep his sandwich from getting squished.

Here is a collection of the different containers that they sent me. I LOVE THEM!!!!
