Field Trips For All

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Lunchables. All opinions are 100% mine.

Has anyone heard about, "Field Trips For All"? It's a contest by Lunchables Lunch Combinations for
which anyone 6 years of age or older can nominate a deserving
classroom for a field trip. From all nominations recieved, 50
classrooms will be selected to go on an inspiring, educational
field trips.

According to a 2009 report from The American
Association of School Administrators, it’s estimated that over the
course of the current school year, the number of school districts
eliminating field trips will increase by 56 percent. That’s more
than 30,000 schools. I believe it is important for kids to see
what life is like outside of the classroom.


I remember as a kid going on many field trips. One in particular was just down the street to the grocery store. We actually just walked to it. It was the grocery store my family went to regularly so I was actually excited to see how things worked. They taught us the specific assignments each person had and we even ended the field trip with a cookie from the bakery. I was only in first grade when we did this and I will never forget it.





I encourage you all to spread the word or even nominate a classroom by going to http://www.lunchables.com/potential/.

Freschetta Pizza

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Freschetta. All opinions are 100% mine.

When I was asked to sample the Freschetta pizza I was excited. Our family love pizza and we have tried just about every take and bake pizza company out there, some with not so good results. I had actually thought that these pizza's were small, personal pan pizzas but when I got to the store I was happily surprised.

These pizzas are big! And to my surprise, there were what felt like dozens of flavors to choose from! They had classics like peperoni, sausage, olives and then they had some fancy stuff like roasted garlic and spinach. I was pretty impressed. Their crusts also ranged in variety. They have flat bread crust, big square brick over crust and naturally rising.

We chose Canadian Bacon and Pineapple. That's the pizza we usually order from restaurants so I thought it would be a good test.

The pizza took about twenty minutes to cook and looked great. It tasted even better than it looked. The pineapples were juicy and tasted fresh. The sauce was thick and rich, and the crust..so crisp, flaky and light. It was really great.

We had initially planned to share the pizza with family..but we eat the whole thing before anyone else had a chance to try it :) Oh well, we will just have to point them to the coupons available for $1 off. At just around $5 minus the coupon, these things are a steal. The coupon can be found here:


We will be trying the Freschetta FlatBread next..I can't wait.
