Squooshi Product Review and Giveaway

May 13, 2013 by Jenae — 23 Comments

I love the squeezable packs of applesauce (and smoothies) that are currently available for kids. They make eating on the go convenient and healthy. The only problem is...they are kind of expensive and the packaging can be wasteful. Enter Squooshi. Squooshi makes reusable pouches for this purpose.

It's amazing how a little break from the mundane day-to-day tasks of child rearing can help one's perspective on parenting. For the first time in several years, Prince Charming and I took a (non-business related) trip just the two of us. We went for a long-weekend in Mexico and had a wonderful time laying on the beach and reading books. That's pretty much all we did on our … [ Keep reading… ]
