I always keep some snacks in my car.
As a busy on-the-go mother of 2 girls, I find myself hungry while on the run.
I keep small containers of nuts and snack bars. I haven’t had problems with Zone Perfect- chocolate almond raisin, Luna- lemon zest, iced oatmeal raisin, berry almond and sunsire blueberry bliss, and all flavors of Nature’s choice.

Make good choices based on the weather as some of these can melt when it gets too hot in the car.

 

Cloth Napkins vs Paper Napkins. May 12, 2009

Whenever possible, use cloth napkins. We use new ones at dinner and save them to use at breakfast the next morning then send them down to the laundry. I prefer ones that don’t need to be ironed so that I don’t have to use the iron (2 reasons- I hate ironing and it used electricity).

Cloth napkins also make the table look nicely and just a touch more formal.

What to do with paper ones? Well my hubby like to grab lots when we are out at fast food restaurants. I bring all the extra ones home with us. We use those in lunch boxes and for emergencies in my car.
