fun find


A few months ago I spotted these Cereal-on-the-Go containers from The Container Store featured in Real Simple's problem solving products.

I've always enjoyed browsing through the website, but I had never visited a location or bought from The Container Store before. I convinced Josh to let me try out some of these, as well as a few other problem-solving storage solutions, and received them several weeks ago!

I love the Cereal-on-the-Go containers. The bottom half has an outer jelly-like layer that you put in the freezer and keeps your milk cold. The top holds the cereal as well as a spoon. The spoon isn't the sturdiest of utensils, but it gets the job done, and personally the amounts of cereal + milk are perfect for me. You can also use this for granola + yogurt, or any other kind of combination you can think of that might need to be kept cool. It only leaked on me once, and I'm pretty sure it was my fault for not screwing it on tight enough.

I also found and purchased (2 of) these 26 oz Salad Blaster bowls. I've used them a lot and have had no problems with leaking. I find the size to be perfect for my lunches!

Lastly I bought these little snack containers that I haven't used yet. They seem like they would be good for kids and packing nuts, pretzels, goldfish, etc. - which I don't often pack. 


Anyway! Those are some fun finds I've found and purchased lately! Anyone else have fun finds from The Container Store or food/lunch packing containers from somewhere else?

herb-savor



aren't these the coolest? herb-savor from prepara.com. the herb-savor has a little water well that keeps the herbs slightly submerged. these big ones go for $29.95 each and keep herbs fresh for up to 3 weeks. also, you can keep asparagus in them to keep longer!




these little ones are great too! set of three for $29.95. i think the mini set of three would be perfect for us!

i love having fresh herbs - and though freezing is a great way to keep fresh herbs usable for longer periods of time, there is nothing like FRESH herbs in your dishes. i love these. i wish i would have seen this before my bday...

there is a bunch of other awesome stuff on their website. check it out!!

for example...i also love these veggie-savors! set of three for $19.99. i have a garlic container, which is awesome, and had an onion one...but don't know where it is now and it made everything around it smell. these lock in orders and the larger one collapses for easy storage.
