Snack Time and On the Go Meal help with QuickSplit

Even though we homeschool, we always seem to going somewhere or feel crunched for time. If we stay home I am preparing 3 full home cooked meals and a snack or two that day; and that adds up to a lot of time spent preparing, cooking, and plating food.  
I was so happy to hear about  The Quick Split a portable, mom invented, patented product made in the USA. I know that sounds like a sales pitch, but honestly that list of highlights caught my attention.

This   portable food cutting gadget  packs a punch for moms on the go or buried at home.
As soon as I received mine I put it to work making snack time a lot easier.  My boys love mini Quesadillas for snack so I agreed knowing I could make them a little easier to cut up with my new   
portable pizza cutter.  And before you ask, I have a regular pizza cutter from Papa Murphy's but it is bulky and not really sharp so if I use it I end up going over the tortillas a couple times to cut them and it still doesn't quite get the job done.

I love the compact size and the handle styling.
I couldn't believe it cut through the tortillas in one pass.
Sure made afternoon snack time faster which meant two little boys were happily going on with their day.

This is a patented gadget and is the first of its kind on the market!

Badettes, Labels for Cups

I received a pair of Bandette's from Question Moms to review... I love the idea of these brightly colored little bands.. A great way to label sippy cups or other plastic cups for kids.. While we don't use plastic cups anymore we tried the bands on our glasses, the boys thought they were pretty cool, unfortunately or fortunately depending on the perspective the bands were really hard to get off the glasses.  I love that I can color code them for my boys: Blue for Cameron and Green for Nathan. We actually used them on our pencil/pen cups at the table for school time. I am always looking for new ways to keep the peace and this line makes it easier and fun.
This would be a wonderful tool for daycare moms or even kids while attending a playday , church classes, etc... You can write on the band to identify the cup's owner.

Here are some of the features from the website:

Features

• Simply use a non-toxic ball point pen to write their name, date, allergies or any other pertinent information on the unique “name plate”. Pen markings can be rubbed off and changed daily, or made long term by boiling or dishwashing the band with the desired writing left on.
• Bandette cup labels are dishwasher and microwave safe.  (Just remember, before dishwashing, rub off the information that you do not want to remain long term.)
• They fit most cups and bottles (even small containers and adult cups!)
• They are completely reusable and easily moved from one cup to another.
• They make children’s cups easier to grip.
• Made of non-toxic material that meets FDA standards for plastics that come in contact with foods.

I love what Mom's can come up with to fix a problem.
