Finding Out About NEW Snacks Through the Great Kids Snacks Box!


Our family is always focused on finding new and innovative snacks for road trips. This mama does not have a lot of time to shop for new products, soo.. I love boxes like the the Great Kids Healthy Snacks Box, because it comes to my FRONT PORCH and enables me to discover new, healthy snacks for my family.

From snack time to road trip adventures, the Great Kids Healthy Snacks box has us covered from the planning period to the packing period. This box had several new snacks that we've never heard of before and it was great to try the snacks before we purchased the snacks from Amazon.


Here are some examples of the snacks! Again, great for travel!

Beanitos - Black Bean Chips - Honey Chipotle BBQ Flavor

R Bar - The Peanut Butter and Jelly Energy Bar (this received RAVE reviews from my husband)

The Soft Baked Organic Double-Chocolate Brownie

The Jimmy Bar - White Chocolate Cranberry Nut-Free Bar

Power Crunch - Snapstick - Protein Snack: Birthday Cake Flavor

Power Crunch - Snapstick - Protein Snack: Chocolate Lava Flavor

This post contains affiliate links to help you build your shopping list and travel list for your family. We are passionate about the product and the experiences listed in this post, but we also wanted to provide easy links you can click to purchase products for your busy lifestyle.

Have a great week and plan for the weekend!

Sincerely,

The @WeekendsCount Family!

7 New Study and Work Snack Products for Your Family to Try from the Love with Food Subscription Box


Each month, we enjoy receiving a red box in the mail filled with new goodies to try! I admit, this is usually my airline and road trip travel box as well. It always highlights a theme and additional links to discover the different new products available for purchase!

Why We Love "Love with Food"
Our busy family LOVES this list because it enables us to add new items to our Amazon Subscribe and Save Lists! Recently, we've discovered new popcorn and new dried cherries to add to our monthly list! Here's a neat coupon for 40% (yes that is quite a opportunity) for you and your millennial family!

Are You Interested in Your Own "Love with Food Box?
If you are interested in your VERY OWN "Love with Food" subscription box, click our affiliate link -Yes! I want my very own subscription box! 



Through Love with Food, we are able to explore new products and introduce our little one to products from around the world! For example, here are the items from our most recent
Love with Food box!


This box featured a few amazing items! They are listed below!


Wild Garden Sun-Dried Tomato Hummus Garbanzo Bean Dip - I enjoyed this dip in a Go Picnic box from a few years ago. This was a great portable snack for me and I've search for this produce since my first protein packed experience. I love this product!


Sinfully Thin Blue Corn Popcorn - This low-calorie snack is nut free and contains NOTHING artificial! I love the portable packaging and I love the taste!


Snack Factory Original Deli Style Pretzels - I love eating these pretzels with hummus. They are a delectable treat for my little one as well!


Biscottea Shortbread - Yes! These traditional teatime treats are great for an "end of the week" treat for you or your little one. In fact, you can also have a mini tea parties on rainy weekends!


Apple Cinnamon - You Love Fruit snacks - These are great gluten free snacks for your family. They are wonderful travel snacks and my little one loves them (I do too)!


Snapz Crunchy Premium Apple Crisps - Oh goodness! These are amazing and I also ordered some apple crisps through a recurring subscribe and save order. These are wonderful after school snacks!


Here are some additional snacks for this month's box!



The theme of the box was "Love is Learning" and it is true. These are all "brain food" snacks for you or your little one. It would be great to also incorporate letter recognition or state recognition focused on the state in which the snack was manufactured.

Thanks for reading this post! I challenge each of you to purchase a 6-12 month subscription. Here's the link for you to explore a Love with Food subscription.



Have a great week and plan for the weekend!

Begin Your After School Conversations with Plum Mash-Ups! & A Back to School Giveaway!


We hope you are having a great week!

As we begin our journey to the beginning of the fall semester of school, I worry about key items that I need to have in my car at the end of each day to guide my conversation with my little one as we commute home.

Our commute usually includes pretzels or chips, but I found a new healthier addition to our preschool commute conversations. Our new conversation staple will include apple sauce, fruits, and vegetables! Sounds too good to be true? All of these can be accomplished with Plum Mashups!

We received four Organic Plum Mash-ups to review from BzzAgent! include the following flavors: Beetbox Berry, Berry, Blueberry Blitz, and Carroty Chop!


Beetbox Blitz - This flavor only has 50 calories, 5 mg of sodium, 105 mg of potassium, 13 carbs, and 9 grams of sugar!





Berry - This flavor only has 45 calories, 100 mg of potassium, 12 carbs, and 9 grams of sugar!




Blueberry Blitz - This flavor only has 50 calories, 10 mg of sodium, 105 mg of potassium, 13 carbs, and 9 grams of sugar!



Carroty Chop - This flavor only has 50 calories, 5 mg of sodium, 115 mg of potassium, 13 carbs, and 9 grams of sugar!



We loved Plum foods when my little one transitioned to food as a baby and we've been incorporating new Plum foods for the past few years as snack foods! Now, these are amazing! Our favorite one as the Blue Berry Blitz flavor!


This week, I will mail two of these coupons and a back to school pack to TWO READERS! Write a comment in the box below with the flavor that you are most interested in trying for a back to school conversation. This contest ends on Friday, August 19th at midnight. 


Have a great week and plan for the weekend!

Can You Fall MORE in Love with Food? Millennial Families Need to Try It!



We hope you are having a great week!


This post contains affiliate links to help you build your shopping list and travel list for your family. We are passionate about the product and the experiences listed in this post, but we also wanted to provide easy links you can click to purchase products for your busy lifestyle.

As a millennial, I love good food that is very portable. Anytime you see me traveling for leisure or work, you will see products from the Love with Food company in my travel bag.


Through our subscription with the Love with Food company, we have learned about many new products and vitamins that our family can use to keep ourselves healthy (especially during colder seasons). Companies with products like Smarty Pants are especially welcome in our household, because our little one loves vitamins.

Through the Love with Food company, you can select a Tasting Box (that's what we have), a Deluxe Box, or a Gluten Free box.

8 New HEALTHY Products We Discovered Through Our Love With Food Box


We hope you are having a great week!

This post contains affiliate links to help you build your shopping list and travel list for your family. We are passionate about the product and the experiences listed in this post, but we also wanted to provide easy links you can click to purchase products for your busy lifestyle.

This year, we wanted to try some new (and organic foods) available from in-store and online retailers. Amazon offered a low-cost, trial subscription to the Love with Food subscription box company. We were delighted with the food that we received each month and we decided to extend our subscription after the trial period ended. Our monthly box usually included: something sweet, something healthy, a new charitable campaign, and a neat sugar substitute.

This month, Love with Food is offering 40% off 1st Tasting Box! This is a great Valentine's Day for your special someone or your family. We LOVE to get our boxes in the mail!

8 - Organic Fruit Snack by Fruigees
- Engage with them on Twitter - @Fruigees
- See pictures of their products on Instagram! - #Fruigees
- Weekends Count's Quick Review - Oh goodness! During the winter cold season (and the summer travel seasons), we try to be as careful as possibly by constantly taking vitamins and eating foods rich with antioxidants. Fruigees would definitely fit into my plan for avoiding sickness in the summer. Plus, it is DELICIOUS!

As you can see, we had eight delicious items in our Love with Food box. We hope you enjoy the products and remember to check out their website. Great travel food and we love to include a box in the car when we take road trips (or flights). :)

The Top Gluten and Allergen Free Travel Friendly Foods - Gluten and Allergen Free Expo in Dallas. #gfafexpo



Each year, we attend the Gluten and Allergen Free Expo in Dallas. This was a great event that I discovered on Twitter.  It seemed like such a great event and the bloggers definitely covered the event well. I wanted the Weekends Count blog to be selected as one of the event bloggers and we were! I said to myself, "Gluten and Allergen Free Expo - Here we come"!  It's a great event that you should definitely consider if you like healthy snacks or someone in your family has food allergies.
