colored corner napkins and SNACKIES!

My parents always had cloth napkins around in our home growing up. It’s such a brilliant money saving solution versus paper towel or actual disposable napkins and not to mention way cuter and GREEN! But sometimes I just forget that cloth napkins are a thing! So I made some, with solid colors to have around in case we have guests and no disposable napkins (that seems to happen a lot).

I also have a cool new way to snack to share with you! These little bags are called Snackies from Thrive foods. I was sent a package to review AND they barely made it into the photos because…YUM! The Coconut Bites are the best, FYI.

Snackies are made by Thrive Foods and are a subscription box that you sign up for. You pick 5-8 different snacks (like pomegranite yogurt bites, freeze dried peaches, apples, peas, etc) and then you get them every month. The price starts at about $20 for a box, which is pretty good for freeze dried food, I think! And they come in a cute box and you might be tempted to make colorful napkins to go with them, so I say it’s a good deal. The vegetable ones sound really weird, but they are good! They pack a lot of flavor in those little bags! It has also been a fun way to introduce my kids to some new flavors. They are fun little bags that are perfect for on-the-go. Some of the foods are also available in larger quantities.

Anyways, enough about snacks, let’s get sewing!
