Lunchables has been a household staple since I was a child living at home. Once I begin taking a healthier journey in life, I look at every label now before it goes in my childrens’ and my mouth. A couple years ago, the nutrition label on lunchables was very eye opening. Am I really giving my children that much sodium and fat in one meal sitting? We backed away from having it as a staple in our household for a while.

Then it was brought to my attention that Lunchables was working hard to create more healthier meals. Lunchables has improved their products by reducing overall sodium content, fat and calories by at least 20% throughout their product lines, and adding spring water and fruit to various lunches.

I sent the two different Lunchables in my girls lunch last week and did not even mention a word about it. I eagerly awaited that evening when I picked them up in the carpool line and my first question was: “How did you like your lunch today?” They said mom, you tricked us. I said no, I just wanted to get your reaction to see how you like the new meals that are out now. I received positive feedback on both of their reactions. L did not like the oranges but she is just not an orange fan. I was hoping though. M loved the entire meal. I do love they are adding water into the meals now as it cuts out a lot of the sugary juices that we are really trying to reduce in the girls day.

The new options that Lunchables has added to their more healthier lunch line are:

These meals are made with 100% white meat chicken, reduced-fat cheese and whole grain bread. Each of these meals come with DOLE Mandarin Oranges. A big plus for the environment is the lunchables have many recyclable parts, making them a more environmentally friendly option now.

I am proud of Lunchables for taking a stand to help provide more healthier items to our kids. Overall, the girls enjoyed the meals and wanted more the next day ;).

“I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Lunchables and received the products necessary to facilitate my review. In addition, I received a gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate. As always all thoughts and opinions are my own true honest thoughts!”

Mealtime with kids can either be a fun experience or an experience that you just want to throw up your arms and say have at it!

There have been drinks knocked over by the little elbows, mac n cheese, spaghetti, green beans all over the table. Hey at least it keeps things interesting right? I have learned over the years that having specific dinnerware can help make mealtime easier.

I was introduced to the new line of dinnerware products of mOmma US. These feeding products combine innovation and technology to transform mealtime into an opportunity to play and learn. That is right not just all about play, but throwing in some learning time at the table is always a good idea too.

My youngest L was my little reviewer for these products. She still has a tendency to spill drinks all over the place so I thought the mOmma Rocking cup would be a huge hit with her.

She loves drinking out of straws and the shape of the cup was a big bright spot in her eyes. You can close the lid with the straw intact and no juice, water, or milk will drip out. This is right up our alley. The unique rounded shapes ergonomically fit even the tinest hands. Each cup features a dual handle to stengthen a child’s grip and allow drinking from both sides. Since the bottom of the cup is rubber-coated, the cup doesn’t slide easy across the table hence the reason of less spills.

The other product in this line is the mOmma Developmental Meal Set.

I love how the bowl is sectioned and the curves are contoured just right for a child to scoop up mac n cheese or spaghetti with a spoon without the noodles ending up all over the table instead of the child’s mouth. The utensils have a soft tip so it is easy on a child’s gums if all their teeth have not come in yet. What I really love about the utensils is that they come with a protective cover. This provides a case for travel and doubles as an extendable handle for parent or child. Is that not cool? It grows with the child. L was really enjoying that.

All of the mOmma products are BPA and phthalate-free and dishwasher safe. You can purchase these products at select speciality stores and online at www.mOmmaUS.com, www.amazon.com and www.diapers.com.
