One thing I’ve learned over the years (and a tip I love to give new moms) is: always have snacks like GoGo squeeZ on hand!
Any crazy behavior days in our past can usually be linked back to the boys being hungry. As they’ve gotten older it hasn’t gone away, and who am I to judge? I get the same way. Have you heard the phrase “hangry” (when you’re so hungry that the lack of food has mad you angry)? I’ve totally experienced it myself and I have to say my boys have too.
We’ve definitely been on-the-go now more than ever, so snacks that we can either grab as we run out the door, pack in a backpack, throw in my purse or easily find at the grocery store are super important.
Even if I’m planning on eating out while we’re running around I still try and bring snacks along. You just never know how much waiting, traffic or unforeseen circumstances you’ll get in to! GoGo squeeZ is one of our regulars and we love how many new flavors they’ve come out with! It is 100% fruit or 100% fruit and vegetables–all natural, and gluten, nut and dairy free. You probably know that 2 of us are gluten free so it is especially for my son to have a snack that’s safe for him to eat. I also love knowing that he can go into the store and know what snacks are good for him to grab!
I love that I can grab a snack that can travel well and keep up with my kids. We are always outdoors, whether we are hiking, playing sports, visiting museums or going to other local places and events, so I’ve learned firsthand that having snacks with me makes everything that much easier!
I’m pretty sure you’ll never regret having snacks with you and ready to go! It also keeps the kids and me from picking up a candy bar or other less wholesome snacks, which I definitely appreciate. So my “mom tip” for the day: always have snacks! It will save you some whining and give the kids some energy and goodness on the go.

Seems like we’re always on the go. Right now, it’s the kids sports. After Spring, it’s usually day trips or just bike riding or hiking. Usually, we bring along snacks like fruit or yogurt.

No kids but what keeps hubby and I on the go is that we don’t look at the calendar. We just keep celebrating every day

There are a lot of things that keep us on the go like school, martial arts class, and church.
I have an 8 year old and a 15 month year old girls. So getting them outdoors to use all that pent up energy is a must.
Work and school.

my kids are in a variety of activities that keep us on the go, music lessons, sports practices , school and more
My children are very involved in sports, and that keeps us all on the go!
It’s a rare day i don’t seem to be running all over town on errands. then there’s cleaning house, doing laundry…. sigh.
I’m elderly so any activities seem like I’m “on the go”.
Errands, back and forth to school, clubs, and day trips.
Our family rides bikes together on the local bike path.
Going to play at the local park and riding our bikes keeps us active and busy. Can’t wait for warm weather so we can get our bikes outside.

We love fun activities and sports and healthy snacks and lots of water!
My grands live 3 hours away and occasionally I am allowed to go steal them from their folks. I always carry GoGo Sqeez when I go. They are 3 and 1, so it’s a great on the go snack!
They keep me busy with all their activities like dance, soccer and more

Some days, it’s sheer force of will! lol There is always so much to do and so little time. Healthy snacks, like this, are always good for a boost 🙂

I agree that these are great to have handy. I usually have energy bars too. And I always have my water bottle.
Thanks for the contest.

Always biking or running.
This summer, we are looking forward to spending many hot days at the pool, where snacks are a necessity!
When I’m backpacking, I eat power bars, peanut butter, tuna, trail mix, chocolate, gatorade, etc.
My daughter prefers to drink keifer to keep her on the go. I haven’t tried these yet. I may have to check it out.
we like to camp and hike
Baseball games, dance class, band practice always on the go!
