So you want to be a good Mommy right?
You pack a nutritious lunch and snack everyday, in a reusable, BPA free container. Right?
A healthy lunch packed in a Laptop Lunch box.
Sometimes it’s a sandwich on whole wheat bread, sometimes it’s noodles, fruit salad, sometimes it’s last night’s chinese takeout. Sometimes… but hardly ever, right?
No matter which it is – you deem it healthy and made with love.
It’s awesome. You’re awesome.
You feel good knowing that they will eat well when you are not there to supervise.
You write a cute little note on a sticky and lovingly add it to the box.
Then at the last minute you throw in a papertowel or napkin.
SCREEEEEECHH
You did what?! Mommy Fail.
Did you know that: “If every American gave up just one paper napkin a day, we could save a billion pounds of paper water from going to landfills each year.”
I didn’t either, but that’s apparently what Elizabeth Rogers wrote in The Green Book.
The solution: Fabkins! My giveaway for this month!
These cute kid-sized napkins are the answer to making your child’s lunch truly earth-friendly.
We got our first set of Fabkins right when they came out and I can personally vouch how awesome they are. That’s my comment on their testimonials (see number 3).
First of all, they are the perfect size for little laps, 13″ square.
Second of all, they are made from the SOFTEST 100% certified organic cotton.
Third of all, and this is my own personal reason, they LAST! They don’t stain! We use ours on spaghetti night and my kids faces are covered in sauce and they mop it all up with the Fabkins. Next day, they are as good as new. And sooo soft.
Here are some other great reasons you will love Fabkins:
- Doubles as a placemat
- Sewn-in label leaves a space to write your child’s name
- Care instructions: Machine wash warm with like colors. Use only non-chlorine bleach if needed. Tumble dry low. Wash before first use.
You can wash them!!!!
So Fabkins has graciously agreed to give away a set of 2 napkins, your choice of design! Now you can equip your kids’ lunch with a truly waste-free lunch!
Yay!
To enter this giveaway all you have to do is one of these things but you can do all three for multiple entries:
