  • It’s been a while since I’ve shared a lunchbox, and what better time then the first one after the polar vortex... ice storm ❄️... mama’s gonna go crazy if you have another day off school day. 🙈 Parfaits are always appreciated around here, so we went with a winner today. Lots of snacky blueberries, raspberries, cucumbers and sugar snap peas, plain yogurt I added a little honey and vanilla to, granola from @aldiusa , some little wheat bunny crackers from @annieshomegrown and a sweet love note from @lunchbox_love . Lunch is ready to go in our @omielifeinc at top speed today, which is good because I may have stayed up too late watching the Super Bowl... I mean Maroon 5 concert 🤔. I need to mix up how I flavor yogurt, I’ve gone to almost all plain now so I can add the flavors myself. Excepttttttt I always go vanilla. 😴 Along with tagging all the brands in this lunchbox, I tagged a few more lunchbox accounts you should tap to check out for some inspiration, maybe one of them has yogurt flavor ideas! (I tapped out, I wish I could tag every single fun account!) What flavors would you add to the yogurt other then vanilla? I’ve got vanilla covered! #onmykidsplate
  • Squack! Birds of a feather may flock together, but when it comes to busy days sometimes I feel more like a chicken running around after my family. (Ad) I’ve mentioned it before but I really love having quick and convenient proteins on hand to make breakfast, lunch and snacks a breeze like these super convenient @greatdayfarms eggs. These hardboiled eggs come already peeled in 2 or 6 packs, and you can find them at Walmart. (No bits of shell at all 😉) I’ve found that having a few of these eggs on hand means I can give my kid a few slices at a time fast for meals, and I even slice a little over a salad or in a sandwich for me. She’s still my dump the yolk kid, but we’re working on it one egg at a time. Oh by the way does anyone use Ibotta grocery app? Great Day Farms has a .25 of coupon you can use right now off the two pack, or .50 off the six pack! Oh! In my stories I’ll also show you step by step how to make this fun guy, so check that out too! What’s your favorite way to have hard boiled eggs? #eggceptionallygreat
  • Phew it’s the beginning of January and it things still feel a little crazy around here. We’ve been on the go a lot once we got over our cold, but with winter full on ❄️ it’s especially important that snacks are packed with the good stuff. We’re a big fan of fruit on the go, especially clementines which come conveniently in their own packaging! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ——- ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Speaking of fruit and winter have you heard of @LoveYourMelon this amazing company makes hats and beanies that have given over 4.7 million dollars to fight pediatric cancer, hats just like my little is wearing that make a big impact. Fifty percent of the profit on these hats goes to nonprofits helping to fight pediatric cancer. Now you can not only get your own beanie or hat, you can receive a monthly exclusive Love Your Melon product every month and help fight pediatric cancer too. Their hats, beanies and headbands are so fluffy and cozy, I’ve already been told by the kiddo she is not giving it up. The new subscription box includes an exclusive product worth up to $50 every month for $35.95 and has free US shipping. Want to help and have a fluffy hat too? I’ve put a link in my bio ❤️ @onmykidsplate #monthlymelonclub #loveyourmelon #ad
  • Hi I’m Kristy and I’ve missed all of you terribly. I took a little bit of an involuntary hiatus from Instagram, but I’m back after a bit of craziness. Can I offer you a bowl of warm chili and say I missed you? 🥰 This turkey chili is like a hug in a bowl, packed with beans full of fiber, celery, carrots, onions lean ground turkey in a light tomato broth that is light enough for the littles. Before my kiddo ate soups, she’d eat all the “goodies” from this bowl on a plate... just don’t tell her it was really still soup ok? I’ve finally had to dig out my ugg boots for the snow we now have,and cold toes means soups at our house. Do you go for cozy soup when the temperatures dip? The recipe is in my bio ❄️ @onmykidsplate #onmykidsplate #chili #easydinner
  • Merry Christmas, love, light and joy to each and every one of you for the holidays and for the New Year. Don’t let this photo fool you into thinking we had all the perfect holiday moments, we are finally headed towards being healthy again over here after a week of the stomach flu and that gingerbread house is held together with hot glue 🙊🙊The most important part was we spent time together this holiday, and maybe that we didn’t eat that house! 😂 Our Christmas card was also missing the letter f on family which we noticed after we sent it. Shhh, so far no one has said a word to us about it. 🙊 🤷‍♀️ I’d love to hear what your favorite “almost perfect” holiday memory is from this year! #christmas🎄 #onmykidsplate #gingerbreadhouse

  • Frosty the Snowman was a jolly, happy snack! Need a party appetizer that will light up the room? These melting snowman cheeseball bites are ranch flavored and a party pleaser. It’s a little decadent, but perfect for a party appetizer that will make the room giggle. I was originally inspired by @hungryhappenings when making this cute appetizer, but we rolled with a couple different flavors when we made ours. I’ve put the recipe in the link in my bio under melting snowman cheeseball bites here ⛄️ @onmykidsplate and I also included a second savory flavor combo in the notes In case ranch isn’t your jive. My family loves ranch but me? Nah-dah so I have to improvise. Are you a ranch flavor fan? If you like ranch leave a heart ❤️ below, and if you don’t leave a ⛄️ #frostythesnowman #holidayfun #onmykidsplate
