Ready for another school year yet? Me neither! I've still got a huge list of school supplies to buy and haven't even attempted to go through the fall clothes to see what fits and what doesn't. Fortunately, I'm pretty well set in the backpack and lunchbox department - in fact I just posted about my favorite reusable snack sacks and sandwich boxes!
If you are in the market for a new lunch sack for your kiddos - here's a chance to win one. Actually 6 chances! I've got 2 lunch sack giveways - and one of them has 5 prizes - so that's 6 winners! Read on for the juicy details:
Graze Organic Lunch Kit
As you may know, I'm a huge Graze Organic fan. Their snack sacks are undeniably cute and their new lunch totes are practical and oh-so-pretty! So I'm excited to have a create-your-own lunch kit to give away to one lucky Mindful Momma reader! The winner gets to pick their choice of lunch tote, napkin and two snack or sandwich bags. What would you choose?
Kids Konserve Lunch Sack + Coupons
Some of my favorite organic & natural brands - Annie's, Stonyfield, Honest Kids and Seventh Generation, have teamed up with Kids Konserve to help eliminate lunchtime trash in schools! They are offering a FREE Kids Konserve, recycled cotton lunch sack along with coupons for FREE products with the purchase of 4 products from the partners listed above. They have also generously offered to give away 5 lunch sacks (w/coupons) to Mindful Momma readers.

Ohhh...waste free lunch packing? I grew up taking my own utensils with lunch and just bringing home to wash. Also, packing fruit like apples and bananas is a no waste option (except for the core and peel!).

My best waste free lunch tip is to send real spoons. The kids actually bring them back, to my surprise. :)

My waste free lunch tip is to wrap the sandwich in the cloth napkin. No baggies on sandwich and no paper towels!

I'm working on being more "waste-free"...but last year I gave up on juice boxes and only send a thermos...word of warning though...You need to replace it every few months...that thing gets gross...even with daily washings! Parts of her "Hannah Montana" thermos straw just wouldn't come clean!

My kids love that I made them cloth napkins, they pick out the one they want every morning before we pack lunches. They fit their personality and they dont go in the trash!

Lots of reusable snack containers! Saves money, too, since bulk is cheaper than snack packs.

I bring my own silverware and bring home whatever compostables I can. I use glass containers with my food in them and put my carrot tops and apple cores, etc. In them to bring home and throw in the composter.
