It's no secret I love food. I love going grocery shopping. I love
cooking and baking. I love to eat. When I am traveling for the holidays
or just in general, it's all about the food. We used to bring snack bags
on trips with us. My Grandma Rose always made the best snack bags. She
would have one waiting for us and have one for us to take with us on the
way home. It was one of my favorite things. I would give anything to
have one right now. When Noah was about three, I started making Noah a
snack bag for when we travel. It is a great way to give him healthy
choices while saving money. Buying snacks every time we stop is not
practical or affordable. The choices are not the best and well Noah is
extremely picky. I have to make sure while we are traveling for the
holidays, he has good choices for snacks and drinks. Gas stations don't
really offer much when it comes to kids' drinks. He likes some juice and
keeping gas station milk ice cold can be challenging even with a
cooler. I am teaching him about healthy foods and that treats are fine
in moderation but when you only have junk as a choice something needs to
be done.
