The rush of back to school can sometimes seem overwhelming. Paperwork, replacing outgrown clothes, new schedules and so forth is a lot to take on for anyone. 

That’s why I’ve teamed up with Kiju Organic. What’s better than FREE back to school organic products AND one of the best lunch boxes out there? Entry is below to make your back to school life much less complicated.

I am a huge fan of this Planet Box Shuttle Box (no affiliation). It’s been the perfect size for my preschoolers and we will use it throughout the various school breaks for snacks we all share on the go.

My kids are total segregated eaters so the separate compartments are ideal for us.  There’s a also a separate lidded “dipper” for more liquid like foods (yogurt, hummus, etc.) that you don’t want mixed with the rest of the foods.

Why Kiju Organic? Because I like knowing that the fruits going into each juice box is organic and without harmful additives.

I do keep juice boxes as a treat, but when we have them, we always turn to Kiju Organic.
