But who ever thought a simple placement choice of your kids juice boxes could be so valuable!
So my boys use to go through our juice boxes pretty quickly, and when it came time to pack a lunch, low and behold they were all gone. It was out of this desperation to prolong the juice box supply that I moved the juice boxes. I decided that they could not swill down nine juice boxes in a sitting anymore if I moved the juice to the freezer. And it worked. They never looked in the door of the freezer. So my battle was won! Que the silly impromptu kitchen dance.
But as the months went on I began to realize what a fabulous ideas this really was...
I began to access the juice boxes for lunches realizing I could forgo the freezer packs I had been shelling out for because the frozen juice took the place of the freezer packs that my boys would accidentally, on purpose, throw away each week. Lunches stayed cold, no wasted money, no guilty looks and the bonus was a juice slushy by the afternoon!
I also quickly realized that every time someone got hurt and needed ice we went to the freezer for a bag of peas (sidebar:best bridesmaids scene ever) or frozen raspberries, those baged foods were never the same once refrozen. So I started grabbing frozen juice pouches instead. Once they were done calming their injury, yep you guessed it... Consoling a bruised ego with slushy time. And no wasted frozen food.
They are also perfect for a picnic to put in the cooler instead of ice!
So get to it and move those boxes and pouches of juice to your freezer!
Enjoy this glorious day!
Best,
