Rock the Lunchbox! {& A Giveaway from Annie's Homegrown!}

#spon: I'm required to disclose a relationship between my blog and Annie's Homegrown. This could include Annie's providing me w/ content, product, access or other forms of payment.

School is back in session and is in full swing here at our house.  As a high school sophomore, my son has now fully taken on packing his own lunch for school each night.  And of course, I find myself peeking over his shoulder to make sure he is packing that lunchbox full with some good stuff and not just junk.

Did you know that 51% of parents surveyed in a national survey noted their struggle to come up with new ideas as their #1 challenge to packing school lunches? And that 53% of kids from this same survey reported that their lunches were pretty much the same day in and day out?

If you and your children are lacking lunch packing inspiration, Annie's Homegrown has a challenge for you all- Have your kids draw their dream lunch to take to school, and then you make it healthy! 

Are you all up for it?? ;)

My son and I took the RockTheLunchbox.com challenge, and here is what he drew as his dream lunch...

Forget those sugary popsicles this summer and make these super simple & healthy Berry Patch Yogurt Pops instead...

Is there anything better than a cool, creamy popsicle on a hot summer day?

While ice cream is a frosty treat we enjoy in this house any time of the year, popsicles are pretty much only reserved for the summer.

They are perfectly portable for taking on the run while chasing fireflies at dusk or dancing through a water sprinkler on a hot afternoon. Or for slurping on while sitting on the back deck. 

Yes, we love a good popsicle during the summer months. But the problem with most store bought popsicles are that they are super sugary and syrupy. 

Forget those sugary popsicles this summer and make these super simple & healthy Berry Patch Yogurt Pops instead!

They are made with nonfat yogurt, coconut milk, and fresh summer berries... and for a fun and tasty twist I added chewy, fruity Annie's Homegrown Berry Patch Bunny Fruit Snacks to them...
