Blog-A-Pal-Loosa Day 8

Andrea from Modern Yet Old Fashioned   is giving away a terrific On-The-Go-Giveaway!  Go check it out!  

See what Anderea has to say about this awesome gift:

I know I am not the only mom who feels like she is running a taxi service for kids; running here and there and everywhere!  We have activities every night of the week, it's either softball, baseball, soccer, ballet, hip hop, youth ministries, or ALL of them! 

Many times I have to have snacks and drink loaded and ready, even for the kids (and mom) who are just along for the ride for that particular happening.


We always rely on our Blender Bottles and protein/nutritional bars, along with some fresh fruit and veggies.  I love Blender Bottles; we have several, and they are good quality and hold up well even with the tough beatings they get.  This is the reason I was so excited when Blender Bottle recently came out with a new sleek and sexy bottle called the Sport Mixer. 


 The bars we eat vary, I usually give the kids Clif Kids Organic Z bars and for me...my newest favorite is Nogii Paleo Bar in the fabulous flavor Nuts About Tropical Fruit.  I am picky about bars and these are hands-down the best bars I have found.  Its like a tropical beach party in your mouth with each bite!

Thus, my favorite things to take on-the-go with us, is what my GIVEAWAY is!  YEAH!





The winner will receive a Sport Mixer Blender Bottle, my favorite Nogii Paleo Bar and 3 Clif Kids Organic Z bars.  Courtesy of Life Fuel Supplements.



You know how much I love giveaways and that I am more than thrilled to be part of Blog-a-pal-loosa, 14 days of giveaways!  With that being said, I would only giveaway and/or promote products that I truly love and believe in.

Good Luck!
