Back To School Lunch Box Review/Giveaway

I was given the opportunity to review a kid's lunch box, but since Patrick and Mason are not school age I chose to let Bob review the lunch box.

How many times have you been in this predicament? You wake up in the morning to make your child's (or husband's) lunch, we're out of baggies, that's okay we'll use a plastic container, but where are the lids??? When you finally find the lids and get the lunch packed you realize the container is too big for the lunch box. And now you're late getting out the door. Fantastic isn't it?

Well with the Easy Lunch Box you don't have to worry about that anymore. You can get a set of containers with a compartment for a sandwich and two smaller compartments for snacks. They come with colored lids (easy to find in a cabinet), and they fit perfectly in the lunch box which you can also buy on their site. PERFECT for your back to school lunch box.

They didn't work for Bob though, ONLY because he eats many times a day to keep up with his macronutrients. He would have needed to take three containers plus a can of green beans and a container of rice. It just wouldn't all fit in the lunch box. The strap is a little tight for a grown man, but I think would work great for a child. Bob also suggests that the containers would be better suited for an adult or older child if they were open instead of having compartments.

I haven't gotten the luxury of trying the lunch system out, but I did get the "luxury" of washing it. The containers come clean very easily and so far I haven't noticed that lingering smell I get from my other plastic containers.

If I had school age kids I would buy this lunch system for them. As a mom that *tries* to eat healthy I expect my kids to follow suit and lunches from home will be a given. I recommend this system to anyone with school age children and even those of you who don't need to take 4 meals to work with you. I would like to apologize for the lack of photos for your viewing pleasure, but it seems my camera cord has grown legs with the help of a blue eyed toddler.

So now on to the fun stuff!!!

Tastes Like Pure Clean Water

We are a water drinking family already, we even have our own water cooler in the kitchen. We go through 10 gallons of water a week between the four of us. When Patrick wants a drink he takes his cup to the water cooler and fills it up. I was THRILLED to try a different type of water. Patrick was excited because of the fun brightly colored labels on the bottles (and they sent stickers which is always a big thing in our home). Upon cooling the water I asked Patrick if he wanted a drink and the first thing he did was run to the refrigerator and grab the "energy" bottle. He liked it, he demolished it, he asked for more. Granted, he's used to drinking water so it's not as exciting as it would have been if he refused to drink water then bam he started drinking WAT-AAH.

I like their fun interactive website. I enjoy the brightly colored bottles. I smile when I see their trademark boy with his mouth open mid scream. I would buy WAT-AHH just for the fun bottles because it makes something we enjoy already a bit more fun.

I personally tried the "body" version, which is the spring water. It tasted very clean. If not working out I tend to sip my water and it takes me a while to finish a bottle, not with WAT-AAH, I guzzled it down because it was clean and cold. I would say even more so than the water in our water cooler. Now if we could get WAT-AAH in a 5 gallon jug that would be fantastic so we wouldn't have to waste all the plastic bottles.

Sad to say, we were unable to get any photos of us enjoying our WAT-AAH because our review fell on the same day we bought my first NEW car. So we enjoyed them on the way to the car dealership.

Have you heard

There is a website where you can shop from over 200 stores. That's right ONE website with over 200 stores to choose from. They have everything you could possibly need. From upholstered headboards to hanging leg raise equipment.

As a blogger I've been given the opportunity to review a product from one of CSN's 200+ stores. Are you dying to know what I will choose to review?

Maybe it will be a diaper bag. How cute is this one?

Or maybe I'll go with some new pans like this Rachel Ray set


I suppose if you really want to know what I will choose you will just have to keep checking back here. The suspense is killing you isn't it???
