Summer Pool Bag Must Haves for Moms with Toddlers

June 20, 2016 Leave a Comment

Summer is here and we are loving this sunny, beautiful weather! We are lucky enough to have a neighborhood pool {complete with an attached baby pool} to play in and cool off on these long days. As a Mom of two toddlers {or should I say one toddler and one preschooler?} I struggle with the same toddler drama that most parents deal with daily. 
What do I feed my picky eater?  
Now, I like to call my girls’ foodies since I love cooking and they love eating. I am proud that they eat well and enjoy most of what I make them. But, of course, they have their days when they scream and cry and don’t want a single thing I make them. It’s frustrating and time consuming to make meal after meal or in most cases snack after snack to appease those hangry kids. Lucky for me I have solved this dilemma thanks to Gerber Lil’ Beanies.  These crunchy, cheesy snacks are bite size and flavor packed. They are perfect for throwing in our pool bag and snacking on the go.
I first came across Lil’ Beanies at my local Walmart in the baby food aisle. I thought I would give them a try and both girls dug right in as soon as we were in the car. Guess what? The can was empty when we got home!
 Made from the goodness of navy beans, Lil’ Beanies have 2 grams of protein (9% Daily Value) and 1 gram of fiber per serving. Also, Lil’ Beanies(TM) is baked, not made with genetically engineered (GM) ingredients, naturally flavored and has a taste toddlers love!

🍜 We had so much fun celebrating Lunar New Year last weekend with dinner at @pho_85_noodle_house_llc in Bentonville, AR! The Banh Mi sandwich and Beef and Seafood Pho soups were filled with fresh ingredients and flavor packed. As you can see their portions were huge so it's a great place to share! We also tried an appetizer sampler, Thai Tea, Coconut Boba Smoothie (my girls' favorite) and macarons for dessert. Everything was made to order and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. If you live near by, check them out and #eatlocall ! ❤️ @visitbentonville #Bentonville  #pho85noodlehouse #arkansasfoodie #whatsfordinner #arkansasblogger #supportlocal #bentonvillearkansas #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear
