I know sounds a little weird, but my son does eat the cream cheese off his bagel and hands the rest back to me...it is worth a try.

I have been looking for a non-plastic version we can use. Marci, I’ll have to check out the Kleen Kanteens. I have been looking for a non-plastic version we can use.

I know the kids are going to be hungry. I don't want to hit the drive thru. We always just settle for a stash of goldfish crackers (which are so messy!) and the kids always travel with their own water bottles (Kleen Kanteens). The snacks on the go are hard for me too.

I am constantly trying to declutter our lives of "things". I think that I personally do a good job, but when it comes to my kids clothes and toys it is an entirely different story. For birthdays & Christmas, we (& grandparents) have started giving gifts of "doing". Our kids have been given water park tickets, Magic House tickets, savings bonds and money for gymnastic lessons. We have enjoyed doing these activities as a family and it is so nice to not have the house cluttered with more toys that they do not need. Plus they usually receive gifts from friends so they do get to open several actual presents. I also try and pack snacks/drinks in the van before we go out. I almost always have a small soft cooler with Capri Sun/water and crackers/fruit. I will be checking your comments to see if anyone has any suggestion for easy snacks on the go for a 3 year old picky-eater...we have one too! A peanut butter and jelly sandwich is almost a daily thing for my youngest daughter. :) Abbie,
