5 Ways to Pack More Energy Into Your Kid’s Lunch

by Dahlia Rimmon, MS, RDNAugust 16, 2023

Hack their school lunch to keep them fueled on busy days

Welcome to back-to-school season! While many of us are sorry to see summer go, we’re also looking forward to reeling in some of the chaos it wrought on schedules and routines. I know I am. The school year may be a grind but my household runs so much more efficiently with established routines. And as a mom, efficiency makes me happy. (So does finally getting my summer night owls back to bed at a reasonable hour!)

One of my favorite daily routines is packing school lunches. I know, hot take. But it gives me peace of mind knowing that the foods I include nourish and energize my children. And we all need a little extra fuel when we’re juggling school, extracurriculars, busy weekends, and more. So I’ve compiled some of my favorite dietitian-approved tips and healthy school lunch ideas for packing an extra dose of energy into their mid-day meals.

1. Carbs are an energizing powerhouse

Cue the communal sigh of relief! You’ve probably spent some time worrying that your kid eats too many beige carbohydrates, but carbs are the body’s preferred source of energy—and kids need a lot of them! To make them count, opt for whole grains (like whole-wheat crackers, bread, tortillas, and pasta), which are rich in fiber, rather than processed grains. Consuming fiber improves digestion, balances blood sugar, and increases satiety to help you feel full for longer stretches. Brown rice, overnight oats, and quinoa are amazing sources of fiber to pop in a lunch box.

2. Double-duty foods give an added boost of fuel

Protein provides satiety and sustained energy, which can tide you over between meals and snacks. Protein also slows the digestion of carbohydrates, or sugar, which prevents blood sugar spikes that can make kids tired and moody. Like protein, dietary fat also helps you feel fuller for longer, especially when paired with carbohydrates, and keeps spikes at bay. So why not pack foods that include both? (Mom hack for the win.) Foods that contain both fat and protein include nuts and seeds, cheese, eggs, and fatty animal proteins like salmon.

3. Pack in some extra oomph with shelf-stable produce

Carrot and celery sticks, apple and orange slices, fresh berries, and bell pepper strips are standard lunchbox fair for a reason: Kids love them and they brighten up their meals (after all, we do eat with our eyes first). But you can give them an added dose of vitamins and minerals with shelf-stable fruit and veggie snacks, like applesauce cups, fruit and veggie pouches, freeze-dried or dried fruits, and crispy vegetable chips.

4. Ditch the juice boxes and opt for water

What if I told you that water not only hydrates, it also energizes? It’s actually not that surprising since we’re all mostly made of water. Pack a reusable water bottle for your kids so they can concentrate, play, and go about their day without getting dehydrated. And if they’re not typically into drinking water, try adding some fresh lemon slices or berries to dazzle up their H2O.

5. Think about a lunchtime snackle box

Every now and then, consider switching up your sandwich or thermos of pasta for a bento box full of snacks. These also work well for kids who don’t like typical lunch fare. In the same way that you would design a charcuterie board, build a lunch that’s made of energizing snacks. Some great options would be nuts (just remember that whole nuts are a choking hazard for children under age 4), dried fruit, cottage cheese, yogurt, and cheese slices, which you can pair with whole-grain crackers. Don’t forget to include dips, a great source of fat! Guacamole, hummus, nut butter, and cream cheese are fan favorites. If you’re in a pinch, consider nourishing packaged snacks such as popcorn, granola bars, and whole-grain cereals.

41 Hilarious Parenting Memes to Get You Through the Day

Laughter is the best medicine for what ails you—kids

Parenting memes are the antidote for a tough day (or even an average one), and we’re betting there are a few out there you can really relate to. From “Yes! This happened to me five minutes ago!” to out-and-out guffaws because it happens every night, give yourself five minutes (lock yourself in the bathroom if necessary) and give yourself a good laugh over these hysterical mom memes.

It never fails.

25 Parent-Approved Tips for Taking Baby to the Beach

by Katie TaylorMay 7, 2023

Make your fun in the sun time even better with these inventive baby beach hacks

Is there anything better than a sunny day at the beach with the kids? Sandcastle building, hole digging, and foot-burying goodness are what this family day is all about. But before you throw some sunscreen in a bag and head for the shore with your baby or toddler, familiarize yourself with these baby beach hacks and beach hacks for toddlers that’ll make your trip that much easier. These 25 smart-parent hacks (that include a few awesome beach gear ideas) will make ocean outings a cinch for your whole family. From why you should bring your own baby pool to the beach to a kitchen staple that removes sand like magic, these are the best baby beach hacks around.

1. Make a mini beach.
Pack a small inflatable pool and a beach umbrella (some pools even come with built-in shades) to keep your baby cool and contained at the beach. This is especially handy for new crawlers and babies who put everything, including sand and rocks, in their mouths. If you don’t have an inflatable pool, DIY one by digging a shallow hole, putting a shower curtain liner in it, and filling it with an inch of water.

2. Set a timer for SPF and liquids.
Set a timer on your phone so you know when it’s time to reapply sunscreen to your child (and yourself). Make sure you cover sensitive exposed spots like the tips of the ears and the back of the neck. Set another timer to remind you both to drink liquids so you don’t get dehydrated.

3. Load up your laundry basket.
Pack your beach gear in a roomy laundry basket. It will store all the towels, snacks, and toys you’re bringing, and wider baskets can double as a play area or napping spot for younger babies if you line it with extra-soft towels and keep it well-shaded. The best part? Sand will fall out of the holes as you pack up and leave, so you don’t bring the whole beach into your car.

4. Create a sand-free play area.
The best baby beach hack, right? We love this idea from the Team Johnson blog: Turn a fitted bedsheet upside down and place a bag or cooler in each of the four corners to keep the sheet extended and the sides up. The sides act as a barrier to sand and keep your curious baby from crawling away. You can also purchase a similar product from Sandy Bumz that is designed to stay upright even without items propped in the corner. The Sandy Bumz mat folds up compactly. Take it to the park and friends’ backyards too.

5. Pre-freeze snacks.
If your baby is eating solid foods, freeze a few food pouches and yogurt the night before your beach outing. They’ll turn a chilly, slushy consistency at the beach and will help keep your baby cool. They’ll also feel nice on sore gums if there’s teething going on.

6. Spray away the heat.
Sometimes shade isn’t enough to keep babies cool. Bring a small spray bottle filled with ice water to spray on your child at regular intervals and when those cheeks are looking flushed.

7. Remove sand with cornstarch.
This is a must-try: Cornstarch is a surprisingly effective way to remove sand from skin. Sprinkle it onto exposed skin and watch it do its magic. It works by drying skin so sand wipes off easily and painlessly. Talc-free baby powder works well too. Pack it in your beach bag or leave it in the car to sprinkle on before you all climb in.

8. Roll your load.
Bring your wagon or jogging stroller so you don’t have to carry all the baby beach gear you’re bringing. Pro tip: Dragging strollers backward is easier than pushing them forward in the sand.

9. Use a pop-up tent for naps.
Plan on staying at the shore all day? Consider buying a small pop-up tent so baby can sleep in a cozy shaded spot away from the sun and sand. Check out our favorite portable tents and play yards.

10. Chill your sunscreen.
Stick the sunscreen in your cooler to keep it cold. When you re-apply at the beach, you’ll cool down baby’s body temperature too.

11. Sprinkle baking soda into a post-beach bath.
Despite our best efforts with sunscreen, floppy hats, and UPF-treated bathing suits, sometimes babies get a little too much sun. Soothe skin by adding a few sprinkles of baking soda to the bath that night. According to the Mayo Clinic, gently patting baby's skin with a clean towel dampened with cool tap water also provides relief.

12. Bring a stash of cool washcloths.
While you’re packing that cooler, add a few damp washcloths in a plastic bag. They’ll both clean up messes and cool you down when needed.

13. Skip expensive beach toys.
There’s so much for kids to see, touch and listen to at the beach, you don't need pricey beach toys. Bring a bucket and shovel set so your little one can explore the shapes and textures of sand, water, shells, and seaweed. If you want to take it up a notch, bring a watering can, bath toys, or small cars and trucks.

14. Use a mesh laundry bag for beach toys.
When you’re ready to go home, load beach toys into a mesh laundry bag. The sand will naturally fall out as you walk back to your car. When you get home, hose down the contents outside to clean them.

15. Freeze water bottles.
Place a few unopened water bottles in the freezer the day before your beach outing. The bottles act as ice packs to keep snacks and drinks cool, and you’ll have chilled water to drink at the beach.

16. Don’t forget the hat.
Keeping baby’s sensitive skin safe from the sun should be your number one priority at the beach. Bring a hat with a broad rim that not only covers your baby’s head but also ears and neck. Hats with a UPF+ sun rating offer extra protection.

17. Leave extra towels in the car.
Bring along a few extra towels and leave them in the car. They'll warm up in the sun to comfort wet, chilled bodies.

18. Keep it brief.
Plan your beach outing around nap times and meals to keep crankiness at a minimum. A shorter beach trip also means toting less stuff and less chance of sunburn, so it's all good all around.

19. Get a cooler on wheels.
A cooler with wheels and lots of storage pockets means you can load it up with everything you need while keeping your hands free for wrangling your child.

20. Bring a small fan.
If it’s not a windy day, connect a battery-powered mini-clip fan to your umbrella or other gear. This will help keep your baby’s body temperature down and give everybody some comfort in the heat. A misting fan is even better.

21. Create a sensory play experience.
Gather up shells and rocks with interesting textures and colors (choose larger items and provide plenty of supervision to avoid a choking hazard). Then pour some water on the sand so your little one can see and feel how sand changes when it gets wet.

22. Introduce new words.
You'll enrich baby’s vocabulary by pointing out boats, waves, beach balls and everything else you see at the beach. You can also write out the words in the sand while calling out each letter.

23. Keep sunburns at bay with UPF+ protection.
Sunscreen is key, but swimsuits and hats with UPF+ protection provide another important layer of protection. Reapply sunscreen to exposed body parts throughout the day and after being in the water.

24. Ditch your diaper bag.
Leave the diaper bag at home to keep it sand-free. Instead, buy an oversize beach bag and use a reusable bag for diapers and wipes. Pack a few plastic bags to hold soiled diapers.

25. Dig a hole.
Use baby’s shovels to dig a hole in the sand for baby to sit and play in. The sand in the hole will be cooler than the sand that was exposed to the sun. If you’re feeling crafty, shape a baby-size chair in the sand to give your kid a stylish seat.

Bring the Beach to Your Backyard with This Cheerio Sand Hack

by Jennifer SwartvagherJuly 19, 2022

There’s nothing we love more than a good mom hack. Especially a mom hack that’ll keep babies busy for at least 15 minutes (and that’s saying something!). So when we spotted this sensory play hack on TikTok, we had to share. Mom Elle, whose handle is @marmapickle, was looking for a way to create a safe material for her seven-month-old daughter Amara, and as you can see in the video below, she certainly succeeded.

When you’ve got a little one, finding activities for babies that are both safe and fun can be a real challenge. Not to mention that it takes some creative thinking to come up with a way to have a beach day when you live hundreds of miles from a real ocean. After looking around at what she had at home, Elle decided to use her Nutribullet to pulverize Cheerios into a material her daughter could enjoy outside on a sunny day. Once she had enough, she added regular sand toys to a sensory tray and took it all outside. The best part? It still has a sand-like consistency, but since it’s made of cereal dust, it’s totally edible.

Many commentators on the video brought up the issue of what might happen if the baby goes to an actual beach and tries to put real sand in her mouth, but plenty of people, like us, consider it to be pure parenting genius.

One smart mama had a great comeback. “This is wonderful! Some babies and kids try to eat any and everything anyway. Worry about that bridge when you get to it.”

Another mom says, ” Anyone who has a small child knows they’re gonna eat sand/dirt regardless. I love this idea.”

Making Mom’s Self Care a Priority

by #MomLifeFebruary 2, 2021

Clarissa Sidhom

I help mamas find style, sanity, and sisterhood! My parenting and lifestyle blog shares self care, family fun, and mom hacks to make life easier and more beautiful.

As moms, we focus so much energy on our families, which means we often neglect our own mental, emotional, and physical health. There’s simply too much to do each day, so we often bump our needs off the to-do list.

But the best way to be the BEST mom is to make sure you are taking care of yourself! Here’s some ideas for intentionally making self care a priority:

1

A Quality Probiotic

Who knew your gut affected everything else so much?!

$42

After researching lots of probiotics, I realized that many are NOT quality - which makes all the difference! After 2 months of taking this probiotic/prebiotic combo, my usually terrible stomach bloat is completely gone, and my digestion is so much more regular. This isn’t a glamorous part of self care, but our gut health affects everything- even our skin and emotions. (Use code modernhipstermama for 15% off!)

Delicious At-Home Lattes

Be your own barista for a fraction of the cost!

$179.99

There’s something therapeutic about sipping a hot flavored latte, but we can all agree that those green mermaid cups add up! Making lattes at home is so easy, and you can buy flavored syrups to customize your drink. It’s also really fun to offer your guests when they come over! This espresso machine will give you lots of love in the form of caffeine.

Calming All-Natural Scents

Quality essential oil while supporting small business

$12.95

Emotions, memories, and scents are so intertwined- so one of the best ways to improve your day is simply through your nose! I love diffusing and wearing essential oils, not only for any health benefits, but also for a non-toxic way to make your home smell amazing. I love supporting this small business because their oils are fantastic, work well, and have free shipping!

Hair, Skin, & Nails

Major impact with nearly zero effort

While most of us would love to include a manicure and blow out in our self care routine, one of the best things we can do is make sure our hair, skin, and nails are healthy!

Simple Ways to Support Your Family’s Immune Health

By Andrea Donsky

Tinybeans Voices Contributor

December 22, 2020

With many kids back returning to the classroom and the entire family spending more time indoors, sick days may not be far behind. In addition to frequent handwashing and using hand sanitizers, eating antioxidant-rich foods is one of the best ways to support the immune system. Today, there’s a lot of talk about superfoods. But which superfoods will your kids eat? And what are some “mom hacks” to also help you stay healthy?

What Makes a Superfood So Super?

“Foods that are called superfoods offer more nutrients, bite for bite, than other foods in their category. In most cases, these are fruits and vegetables,” explains Holistic Nutritionist Andrea Donsky. Nutrient-dense superfoods are especially important as kids come into contact with a variety of bugs in the school environment. Even if we are working from home, missed school days are something we all want to avoid.

Donsky points out, “Because kids tend to be picky eaters, a lot of the calories they take in are not nutrient-dense. There just aren’t many vitamins or minerals in cheese pizza. Sneaking superfoods into their diets is crucial.”

How to Make Superfoods Kid-Friendly

Donsky lists some simple, and probably surprising, ways to get kids to consume more superfoods.

Instead of steaming vegetables such as kale and cauliflower, try roasting them in olive oil, salt and garlic. “Roasting brings out the flavor and makes them crispier.”
Another hide-the-nutrients trick that really works is to bake healthy seeds and grains—such as quinoa, millet, flax or chia—into cookies or banana bread.
Introduce kids to black elderberries. “They have a remarkable ability to empower natural immune support. You aren’t going to find black elderberries in the produce section which is why more moms are now stocking up on yummy black elderberry-based products that come in easy-to-use drink mix, syrup, capsules and pastilles as well as pectin-based gummies which are great for kids ages 4 and up. They are free of all major allergens including gluten, nut, soy, dairy and eggs.”
Some moms are surprised to learn that Greek yogurt is a superfood. “It has probiotics and protein and is great for breakfasts and snacks. Add berries for antioxidants and fiber, and a sprinkle of cinnamon to help their blood sugar levels.”
Substitute peanuts in trail mix with goji berries and mulberries. “Sprinkle in coconut flakes and dark chocolate chips for a delicious and nutritious nut-free snack.”
Hide half an avocado in a smoothie. Avocados are good for the brain and concentration. They have good fat plus fiber and protein. “My youngest loves my sweet avocado chocolate power pudding!”

If your kids do feel under the weather, Donsky advises you to encourage them to eat their water if they don’t want to drink it. “Yes, I said EAT. Kids can get dehydrated easily if they are vomiting or have diarrhea. It’s often easier to get them to eat soup, or snack on fruits and vegetables that are mostly water (such as watermelon, strawberries, cucumbers, oranges and tomatoes) than it is to get them to drink enough fluids.”

Mom Hacks: You Need to Stay Healthy Too!

There’s never a convenient time for our own immune systems to be less than strong. Sip on teas that contain immune-supporting herbs and/or squeeze lemon into your tea to reduce phlegm. (The acidity is what does the trick!)

Honey contains antioxidants and helps with sore throats. “Always use non-pasteurized because the heat in the pasteurization process will kill honey’s health-boosting properties,” she advises. For the same reason, she says never put honey directly into hot tea. Wait until it cools down or eat the honey off the spoon then drink your tea.

Finally, get creative by using spices from your pantry. Ginger tea helps reduce inflammation. Cinnamon helps to open sinuses as does peppermint oil when used in a diffuser.

Mom Hacks to Help Every Day Life

by #MomLifeNovember 17, 2020

Bethany Jury

I fill my cup with wellness inspired tools for the soul.Full time mom, Addiction Fighter, Mental Health Warrior, & Toddler Referee. Rock bottom has been my trampoline.

Motherhood is so darn complex. We are always needing to take care of all the things; meals, baths, good hygiene, home school, sickness, appointments, sports, manners, laundry… gosh the list is endless. It doesn’t end there. We get a little “work” break from our kids for about 2 hours, before some sort of chaos, bad dreams, thirsty throats, or someone wet the bed- ensues into the night hours. These are the days we prayed for, am I right? It’s so true. But no one tells you that you’ll be out of gas when it comes to taking care of YOU, your mental health, and the little things that help keep you up to par in being the best mom you can be. Through my professional and personal lens, I’ve curated a small list of little things, that when added up can really make all the difference in moms filling their own cup, before they pour into others.

1

Liquid I.V.

Energize with WATER

$24.99

You know so much of my adult life I had no idea that you could take care of your mental health when you take care of your body! Hydration is key in this, but I don't have time to drink 8oz of water a day. On top of that, one of the kids (or all 3), usually jacks some my water when I finally do get around to drinking it. Liquid I.V. enhances rapid absorption of water and other nutrients into you bloodstream. AKA 1 glass of water = 3 glasses! You will be amazed by how much energy you have when you stay hydrated.

Feather the Owl Bundle

Take the guesswork out of motherhood

$135

I pride myself on giving my family the best of the best. One of the hardest things of being a mom is having to figure out if that runny nose is allergies or a cold. If that tummy ache is digestion issues, or stress. If those emotions are something underlying that happened in your kid's day or overtiredness. Not to mention the sleepless nights- oils formulated just for supporting kiddo's needs help with all that guess work. Oils take what your body needs and disperse the rest! We got this set for our 2.5 year old for Christmas last year and it's been super empowering for him.

Not only that, they have doctors and nutritionists on staff to work with you for your personalized needs.

Thieves Household Cleaner

One cleaner that replaces it all!

$30

You know what I love most about this cleaner? I mean, other than the fact that I can safely put my kids to work cleaning. No guesses? ALL OF THE UNDER SINK SPACE that I have since this one cleaner replaces it all! There is something in the Thieves line to replace all your cleaners, but if you're into DIY- you can easily make your own stuff too! I keep it simple, because DIY isn't my thing, and use one dilution ratio to clean EVERYTHING. No more worrying about my 15 month old in the cleaning cabinet. No more worrying about the boys skating across the wet floor barefoot, as I clean. This plant based cleaner is full of wonderful goodies to support our immune systems. When you make the switch, it feels like a fog has been lifted within the home. I love that Thieves made it easy for me to make the switch. Don't let the price tag defer you from the purchase. I use 1.5 capfuls per 16oz bottle, and it ends up being cheaper per oz, than other plant based cleaners on the market!

Sustainable Clothing for the WHOLE Fam

If you haven't noticed YET, I'm all about 'dat toxin free and sustainable living life! PACT clothing is the company for you if you're into that too. They're a fair trade company, so in addition to helping save water, and using nontoxic chemicals in their clothing, Pact empowers and uplifts local communities! Okay, okay, enough about the company- why PACT for MOMS? They're affordable, comfortable, and I can take any piece and make it versatile for dressing up or lounging around the house.

FÜM

Ground yourself with good FÜMs

$34

Did you know that smell is the only sense of our 5 senses, that has a direct connection to our emotional brain and ability to ground your fight or flight in your prefrontal cortex of the brain? If you weren't aware, I am an addict in recovery from drugs and alcohol. Motherhood brings upon plenty of triggers for me in my sobriety and my mental health. I have talked to other mother's (not in recovery), and they experience triggers in motherhood too! Not so much to reach for drugs, but for wine. FUM is a tool that allows for a natural way for me to ground myself when I'm feeling flighty, or triggered. Whether you have smoked in the past or not, you know that a hit from a cigarette or medicinal marijuana can allow grounding for a person. This, is a non mind altering alternative, that I highly recommend!
