    1. What are your favorite healthy snacks to keep on hand? Mine are raw cashews or trail mix and handy dandy bottle of water. I pre-package mine, so that I'm not tempted to eat too much without realizing it :)

    1. I agree Katie! As I said to Mechele above, pre-packaged snacks are the key for me. I also, like having a first aid kids similar to a teacher's survival kit. Pinterest has been my latest obsession for finding neat ideas on that topic. :)

    1. Hi Antoinette,
      You took the words right outta my mouth! Pinterest is where I got my idea to do a survival kit with a snack and teacher first aid kit combo. Love it! Only have a couple of weeks to get it together. So much to do and so little time :)

    2. I started getting things together for mine today. I am thinking of combining some that I found on Pinterest. I will share it when I finally get it finished. I would love to see what you come up with. Snacks are always great ideas! We go back next week, so nothing like last minute! lol :)

    1. Hi LIndsey,
      Hahahaha, love that you like my kitty, but he's actually my lapdog Teagan. This is so funny, because my husbands nickname for him is 'Kitty!' He's a biewer terrier or biewer ala pom pom, which is similar to a yorkie. However, they have a gene that produces a white color and this is what makes them so unique. They are the best family dog ever!! Loyal and super friendly :)

      Thanks for following!
