School Lunch & Snack Accessories!

With school back in full swing, it is also back into making snacks and lunches for your kids to take along with them.  Little ones can be picky when it comes to eating, so preparing food that not only tastes good, but is presented in a fun way can be the key to a full belly.  Here are Our Green House we have a whole host of mealtime products that are not only fun and colorful for kids, but are practical and environmentally conscious.  We have a great selection of snack bags, reusable (non-plastic) water bottles, insulated lunch boxes, sandwich bags, and food storage containers! 

What kid wouldn't want any of these cool and colorful accessories with them at lunch and snack time while at school?!

Back to School Supplies

It is back to school time, which means it is important to make sure your kids re equipped with all of the right school supplies and accessories.  When it comes to school lunches and snacks, lots of people opt for brown sacks and paper bags, but they all end up in the trash at the end of the day which isn't very good for our environment.  This year, why not try some great reusable items from Our Green House!

 

We have so many awesome eco friendly items that are perfect for packing lunches and snacks!  They are all easy to clean, and with lots of fun patterns and designs, your kids will love bringing these items to school every day!

Camping Essentials

When it comes to packing for a camping trip, it can be tricky to decide on what to bring.  Over packing means having to haul around excess items that won't get used, but under packing could lead to unhappy campers.  At Our Green House we have lots of great items that are perfect additions to your camping trip.  Here are some of our favorites!

It is also great to have a checklist like this one.  Properly preparing for your trip will make it much more enjoyable, and you can find lots of checklists online, or you can create your own to use year after year once you know what your family's specific camping needs are :)

 

Happy Camping!

Back to School - Klean Kanteen Giveaway!

From the time I was in Kindergarten, I've always thought of the first day of school as a new beginning. This year I'm making a commitment to eliminate the last of the plastic from our packed snacks and lunches. Previously options were slim in this area, but I'm happy to say we've found a treasure trove of products and added them to our store so you can have a green house too! The picture below shows a sampling of our new products, but make sure to click over to the our green house store and see all the goodies we've found. From organic cloth napkins to eco lunchboxes, there's something for everyone!

Win a Klean Kanteen 18oz Stainless Steel Water Bottle!

Three lucky readers of Our Green House Blog will each receive an

18oz Stainless Steel Klean Kanteen.

We've found these to be the perfect size to send to school with the kids. Often I'll fill the bottles up with a few inches of water and place them in the freezer overnight before filling the rest of the way in the morning. This helps keep both the water and the packed lunch nice and cold during the day. If you would like to win one of these stainless steel bottles, please answer the following question in the comments section of this post:

Do you have any special traditions
