The back-to-school season is known for eliciting all the various stages of emotions from parents worldwide and this year those emotions are amplified by restrictions and mandates due to COVID-19. Whether your emotions led you to send your child to school full time, part time, virtually from home or even begin a home-school career, there is still one thing in common: the need for every child to eat lunch. As a parent, you know how difficult it becomes to constantly feed your children, which is why now is a great time to start their journey to independence by giving them the ability to make their own lunch. Kraft Heinz and Walmart are here for your family during this journey of never-ending hunger. How do I know they are here for your family? Because they are present with my family via numerous food and drink products that are all found at my local Walmart at great prices. And these products allow my children to pack their own lunch. Having one fewer task to complete before I can finally sit down at the end of the day is a great way to make this momma smile!
Easy Mac Cups are by far the best invention this decade. OK, maybe that’s a stretch, but I am trying to find the right words to explain exactly how much we appreciate these delicious cups in our home. All of my kids LOVE them and they never last long. My seven-year-old can fix Easy Mac herself. She fills the cup to the water line, places it in the microwave, punches in 3.5 minutes and once she takes it out, all she has to do is mix in the cheese. She is instantly delighted in herself for making her own meal and she absolutely loves the taste of Kraft Mac & Cheese. Win-win!

Every child wants dessert and that doesn’t change because it’s lunch. Do you remember all the trading that would go on in the lunchroom when we were kids for pudding, Jell-O and cookies? While there likely will not be a lot of trading this year, there will be a ton of kids consuming the pudding and Jell-O they packed themselves. I personally know of three kids (my own, hehe) who will eat their weight in these delicious, easy-to-pack snacks. My kids recently requested the Strawberry Jell-O Cups, which I had no problem buying, and now they ask for the cups for their after-dinner dessert too!

Now there are dozens and dozens of additional options offered by Kraft Heinz for kids’ lunches but I wanted to focus on two of our family's favorites. But hey, I have time to squeeze in one more so ... Lunchables are AMAZING timesavers and a great item for kids of any age who are packing their own lunch. You can choose turkey and crackers, ham and crackers or a fun pizza kit. My three love all of them and my local Walmart always has a shelf full.
