The Snack Packer – The Small Things Blog

I promise that if you were to ask Justin what I always make sure to have with me on road trips or flights, he would tell you that I always pack snacks.

From as long as I can remember, I’ve found comfort in having a little snack with me whenever I’m getting into a situation where I’m not sure what the food situation is going to be like. I get jittery when I drink coffee on an empty stomach, and would always rather snack on a granola bar instead of picking up fast food if I were suddenly hit with hunger.

Naturally, this tendency only became more necessary with kids. We are always on the go, and I always have snacks with me! Honestly, it’s not unusual for me to throw a few snacks in my purse when I go out with the boys these days. We are pretty much beyond the need of carrying a diaper bag everywhere, so as long as I have the very basics with me I feel good.

The boys have been eating GoGo squeeZ® applesauce pouches for years. I buy them in bulk, and we’ve tried a few of the different flavors they offer (like AppleCinnamon and AppleStrawberry); yet the classic AppleApple flavor is the most preferred!

We spent about 17 days in Wisconsin in July, celebrating the 4th of July and my sister’s wedding. It was jam-packed with lots of fun activities, and Justin and I really enjoyed letting the boys run wild around my parent’s lake house neighborhood. I have fond memories from summertime in Wisconsin, and I love that the boys were able to spend so much consecutive time here!

Justin and I took them over to a nearby park to play a few times, and we had a quick little snack while we were there.


My kids are picky, and I haven’t done the best job about making them try new things. When we are out, and I know they are hungry after a morning of playing, I want to make sure they are snacking on something that is good for them and that I know they will eat! There’s no artificial anything in GoGo squeeZ® applesauce and it’s made with 100% fruit. You can find them almost anywhere that you buy groceries!

And if these aren’t the faces of “h-angry” children, I don’t know what are:
