Snack Time

Where have I been? I don't like washing and reusing those plastic ziplock bags, but I do it because I really don't like throwing them out after just one use. Then I saw these handy reusable snack bags at my local grocery store. Genius! I bought a couple and I've been using them for Kellan's favorite snacks. Best of all, they are easy to clean and dry faster than those pesky plastic bags.

You can find reusable bags online. Etsy has some mighty cute offerings and you can even get your opinionated preschooler to pick his or her favorite pattern. If you are a do-it-yourself type, I found websites that offer tutorials on making these at home.

School is just around the corner (and in some places, the school year has started) so it's not too early to stock up on Earth-friendly supplies!
