Wexy the snack bags with a attitude!!!

As a mom who wants Charlie to eat healthier it is so hard to find foods he will actually eat. So when I found the Wexy Bags and knew who well he likes Monsters I thought maybe if I bought the bags he would at least try the items inside and so far it has worked. It has even gotten to the point where he wants to make not only his lunch but daddies and mine too which is so cute. He is so funny when it comes to the bags as he has to make sure it is just the right bag for the person he is making lunch for. Once he makes the lunches we make little notes to go with the bags from things the Monsters might say which is causing him to use his imagination which I like a lot. As I think a lot of times kids should use there imagination and they do not.

I can not wait until Charlie starts to school and he takes the bags with him as I can not wait to see what the kids in his class say. I am sure they all will be asking Charlie where he got them from and he is so cute when he says my mom got them for me with her work and he recites the blogs name.

It just makes my heart melt to hear how Proud of me he is.

Now I would like to introduce you to the Monsters in the box we got:

Sammy the Surfer eats foods that are gluten and dairy free!

I like this one as he is a Surfer and I also like his name. Charlie also likes it and thinks it would be fun to surf. He gives this one to his dad and tells him he should take us to Maui so we can surf. It is so cute to hear him.

Scout the Soccer Player loves making healthy snacks! This one is Charlie's all time favorite as he Loves Soccer and so this is the one he uses as he and his dad play soccer and his dad coaches his team. We use this to take Snacks to the kids and they just love this bag. In fact a lot of them keep them. Some have even asked there parents to buy them some of the snacks.

Bailey the Bubble Maker loves to eat organic foods This one he gives to me as he and I Love to blow bubbles both with the gum we chew and also with the bubbles we blow. We like to fill it full of snacks and go outside and play with the bubbles. I have named it Sassy Sue after my daughter as she is pink. I refuse to believe his name is Bailey and that it is a boy.

Dusty the Diver loves to eat raw foods! This is the one he gives to my sister and he tells her that they should go Diving as it would be something new they could do together. In fact it lead to me getting him a mask to use in the pool and he Loves both his mask and this bag from Wexy bags.

I must say in my household that these bags have been a huge hit. I hope you will take the time to check out there site and order some of the bags for the children in your life. But not only for the children in your life but also for you as they are so much fun.

Review & Giveaway: Crum Creek Mills

Today is the day I seem to have every kid in the neighborhood here and the neighbors as well. It is a day I would like to run from the house screaming as no one will stay out of my house. So I decided to spoil myself and I went and grabbed my snacks from Crum Creek and I am so glad I did as I Love the products. If you have not tried them then Please check out
Crum Creek at http://www.CrumCreek.com. They have so many healthy snacks that I know I will be shopping with them alot once Charlie starts school as with Crum Creek I know he will be having healthy snacks.

I will eve be shopping with them at Christmas as they have not only foods but also bath and body works. Along with vitamins and supplements. The thing I liked the most besides the snacks I tried is there gifts baskets.



Munch away! You're enjoying Crum Creek Mills Soy Bites, a delicious, protein-packed mini-breadstick snack. 
Ten 1.5oz packages, flavor - Superb Sesame. 

$8.50

I tried these just plain and the taste is so good. I think they would go good with some different dips at a party and I may try that when I do my next open house. Even  Charlie liked them. I shared them with several of the children and they all asked if I had more of them.

Our deliciously balanced treats crunch with the flavors of almonds - positively the healthiest of all nuts - plus plump raisins and spices.
Approx. 16 Biscuits per package, about four servings. 

$4.50

I Love these as I am a nut fan of any type. Nuts are one of my favorite snacks and so with this I know it is something I would enjoy why having something healthy. I am going to get some of these for my sister as she does not eat right and this will help combat that. I am also going to make sure she look at Crum Creeks site and see if I can talk her into purchasing some of the snacks as I know it would help her with the weight she is wanting to lose.
The last snack I tried was the Soy Bites with rosemary and Garlic by Crum Creek and I can tell you they taste so good. I think they would make a wonderful addition to any salad. If you have not tried them Please do.
