Three kids, two jobs, school/homework and extracurricular activities have us running around quite a bit, especially during the week. We often find ourselves going right from after-care to an activity with a quick snack in the car to tide the girls over since dinner won’t be until later that evening. Bars are handy, but really not that nutritious; I’d much rather have real food available while were en route.
To solve for this, I started packing a “second lunch” of fruit & cheese that I keep in the office fridge during the day and then carry out with me when I leave. Just a little advanced planning and effort and I feel so much better about those car snacks!
