today we have teamed up with our partner, naturebox, to giveaway a 6-month snack subscription to two lucky readers! (details at the end of this post.)

a few days back, we realized we had to go to ikea. oh that dreadful moment when you only need one thing from ikea but it’s not available online! the closest one to our apartment is a ways out in brooklyn and a bit of a trek to get to. and don’t we all love those quick errand trips where you know it’ll be an all day affair because hello to travel time and also, hello children.  but we made the trek! and between some good snack-packing, two toddler naps that went down at the same time while we were in the store (a miracle!), plus a little luck in catching all the trains straight away, it was a success! a few photos below from our day…

^^^the only way for any long outing to be successful in my book is having lots of good snacks on hand for the littles and myself.  this edamamix from naturebox has become one of our family’s favorite summer snacks.  also, the dark cocoa nom noms? it’s hard to share those with my family. i want to eat them all by myself within 5 minutes of their arrival. see all the snack options here.^^^

  16. Kristen

    Yummmmmm everything looks so tasty!! Being gigantically pregnant (38 weeks), I have found myself snacking on everything but the kitchen sink – my faves that I’m seeing here are the lemon pucker pistachios, the wild blueberry flax granola and the salted caramel pretzel pops (say WHAT?!) Gosh now I’m hungry again. Also – the Brooklyn IKEA is SO FAR AWAY. I remember doing that subway/bus ride and feeling like it was a million miles away from Manhattan. Glad you had your hubby along for the ride to help with the bags!!

  17. Suz
