My Slightly Chaotic Life

Balancing Life, Children and Chaos

Healthy Living Tips

Healthy Snacking this Summer with Quinn Snacks

August 21, 2018 Comments : 20

We have been so busy this summer with trips to the water park, pool, beach and exploring areas in this beautiful state that we live in. (Can you tell that we love the water?!) Even though it feels like this summer has been so chaotic, I have at least managed to provide this family healthy and nutritious snacks with pretzels from Quinn Snacks while we have been on the go.

Let me start this post off by saying that when it comes to snacks, my son is not picky one bit. He will eat anything, anywhere. However as a mom, I am picky about what he eats. I strive to provide healthy snacks that I feel good about and snacks that I would not only give to nourish his growing body but snacks that I would eat myself.

I was given these for free in exchange for my review, however all opinions expressed are my own. You can see my full disclosures HERE

Quinn Snacks offer just that with their pretzels that we have been snacking on all summer long. These pretzels are made from REAL ingredients, whole grains and are naturally gluten free. Most importantly though is that they are delicious and the kids absolutely love them and eat them right up! The coolest thing about this brand is that you can input your batch number into their website at http://www.quinnsnacks.com/farm-to-bag/ and it will show you full transparency on where the bag came from.

Quinn Snacks uses Sorghum Flour as a primary ingredient to make these pretzels. Sorghum Flour is an ancient grain that due to it’s longer root structures makes it more sustainable. Bonus; this flour if naturally gluten free making it a snack that anyone can enjoy. These pretzels are also always GMO free, are never made with artificial ingredients and are available at Whole Foods nationally.

We have taken these pretzels on all our adventures with us this summer as a healthy snack option. With fall fast approaching I know I will be adding these to my son’s lunches to help him get through the day. I may even have to sneak a few into my own lunch for my long shifts in the emergency department. Shhhh… don’t tell Hayden.

You can shop for these at your local Whole Foods or purchase them online at Amazon.com.

“A beautiful day starts with a beautiful mindset “A beautiful day starts with a beautiful mindset” - unknown 
Read that again. 
No matter how crappy you think your day is going to be; wake up and set you mind to a more positive way of thinking. 
I can’t tell you how many times this thought process has gotten me through rough days at work, with the kids or even when I’m just feeling incredibly overwhelmed. 

Tell me how do you create a beautiful mindset?

Rainy day here today but this little corner of Ave Rainy day here today but this little corner of Avery’s bedroom looks so cozy. 

I’m so thankful to have passed on my love for reading to both my children and here are some of Avery’s favorite books on display. Beekle, Raz & Benz and Strictly no Elephants are Avery’s favs and we read them on repeat every night. I’ll link the books in my stories.

I couldn’t go another day without having this sw I couldn’t go another day without having this sweet photo of both my kids and myself on my feed. 

Getting photos with the kids is hard and the majority of the time I’m doing it by myself. 
I rely on my camera, tripod and timer to snap these shots and anyone who knows this method can relate to it taking many shots to get something resembling what your initial idea was. 
Pretty happy to have finally caught this one and not ashamed to admit there was some bribery involved.

Share your tips with getting photos with your kids in the comments!

3 years ago, this little one came into this world 3 years ago, this little one came into this world in a whirlwind and has kept us guessing and on our toes ever since. 
She loves reading, hiking, riding her bike, jumping on and off a thing, playing with her siblings and friends and Paw Patrol. 
Happy birthday Avery; life is that much better and just a little crazier with you around and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Warmer springtime afternoons spent with this one i Warmer springtime afternoons spent with this one is nothing but pure joy with a little bit of caffeine thrown in to help keep me fueled. 

It is also the perfect time to pair your favorite @dunkin beverage with a snack.

And until April 27th, you can snag any size Cold Brew for just $3 with your Perks membership in Maine and Vermont. So, make sure to sign up today!!
So a big @dunkin cheers to warmer days, brighter flowers and spending more time outside with a coffee in one hand and a snack in the other. 

What are you looking forward to most about springtime?

I’ve had people ask me how I stay so organized; I’ve had people ask me how I stay so organized; how I manage kid’s schedules, work schedules, graduate school and blogging all at once.

Here’s the truth: I don’t. 

I am the least organized person you will meet. I have calendars everywhere and a planner filled with post it reminders and lists. The fact that we make it places on time, I get my school work done and meet deadlines for myself and brands is a small miracle with a little last minute panic thrown in when I remember something I forgot. 
So today I sat down. Updated my life and organized the next couple months so things feel a little bit calmer. Here’s to hoping this small bit of sanity continues. 

What do you do to keep you and your family organized?
