After School Snack Board

September 6, 2022

When my boys get home from school, they are hungry. I like to have something for them to snack on right away that will help keep them full enough until dinner! My little guys love yogurt, so I love to have some yogurt with some toppings for them. My oldest is a big fan of apples and almond butter, so I typically have that ready to go for him, too. I don’t always serve these snacks with sprinkles or mini chocolate chips, but it was the first week of pre-school so it made for a fun surprise! A snack board is such a fun post-school treat and the perfect time to sit and chat about their days.

With prices rising what seems like daily, I’m always on the lookout for ways to save. Feeding three growing boys is a lot! I found that shopping Walmart’s private label is a great way to save. With Walmart’s private label brands I can find all the foods my boys love and the quality that I look for when shopping for groceries. I can find organic fresh fruits and veggies, quality snacks, and so much more, all under Walmart’s private label.

Blessing Mix

November 23, 2021

Happy Thanksgiving week! Last week at pre-school, Ford’s teacher did the sweetest activity with the class. Each student brought an item and together at school they made a “Blessing Mix.” My older boys loved the idea of the Blessing Mix and wanted to make it to bring to their friends before Thanksgiving. This was such a fun and easy idea to do together and using our Walmart+ membership made it stress free!

Blessing Mix Ingredients

Bugles: Represent the cornucopia, the horn of plenty
Pretzels: Arms folded in thankfulness and prayer
Hershey Kiss: Reminder of friends & family that make life so sweet
M&Ms: Memories of those that came before
Cheerios: Representing God’s unending love
Popcorn: Stands for the abundance of the harvest

Everyone is home from school this week for Thanksgiving, so we decided it was the perfect time to make the blessing mix for their friends. We utilized our Walmart+ membership for unlimited free delivery on fresh, high-quality groceries and ordered all the ingredients we needed to make these fun, last-minute Thanksgiving treats for our friends. Not only were we able to order all the ingredients we needed, but we were also able to order the treat bags and orange ribbon to complete our project. With the Holidays in full swing, my Walmart+ membership will be so helpful when I run out of every day ingredients, need for a fun craft for the boys, need to bring an appetizer to a holiday get-together or realize I’m out of diapers for Ford (it happens!).

I use my Walmart+ membership all the time for unlimited free delivery ($35 minimum) order. With three little ones at home, I can easily shop for fresh, high-quality groceries from the comfort of my home. It makes holiday entertaining stress free! If you haven’t started a Walmart+ membership, we highly recommend joining before the busyness of the Holiday season! I have saved so much time/stress this year by using my membership. Plus, right now you can try it out with a free trial! My favorite part is the unlimited free delivery ($35 minimum) and free shipping, no order minimum (Excludes most marketplace items, locations & freight surcharges).

Hoping you all can enjoy a happy, stress free Holiday season with a Walmart+ membership!

Thanksgiving Snack Board

November 9, 2021

The Holiday countdown is on! We are less than three weeks away from Thanksgiving… we can hardly believe it! In an effort to slow down and enjoy quality time with family and friends, we are planning to make a Thanksgiving Snack Board as an easy and convenient way to feed guests while waiting for the big meal! Less plates, lots of different food options and easy clean up! Walmart has the best selection to fill your Thanksgiving snack board, making it so convenient to shop for and put together! Whether you prefer pre-cut cheeses or selecting your own, Walmart has so many selections to choose from.

We have so much fun picking out both unique and familiar items for snack boards and love coming up with new ideas. For this Thanksgiving inspired snack board, we wanted to pull out some fall colors, ie: pomegranate and orange. To get started; find a pretty cheese board and cheese knives, lots of different cheeses, olives, nuts, salami, dried fruit, etc., and you are well on your way to a yummy snack board that is pretty and easy!

Some of new items we found at Walmart for our snack board are Cranberry Habanero Cheddar, Dubliner Cheddar and this mini Mozzarella ball salad. We found honeycomb, dried orange slices, glazed pecans, dried figs and cranberries, adorable mini pecan tarts and the cutest miniature apples! Walmart also has our tried and true snack board items; Manchego cheese, salami, grapes, crackers, and baguettes to slice.

You can also find the perfect serving pieces for your Thanksgiving Snack Board at Walmart. We found this beautiful marble and brass cheese board – it’s the best size for a large gathering! These cheese knives are beautiful, these little bowls are useful additions for mustards and jams, and this vase and cocktail napkins are the perfect finishing touches.

Bon appétit!
