JDaniel has been asking me to buy string cheese to have for snacks and to put in this lunch box. When I was asked to review Polly-O/Kraft cheese and look over some wonderful products from Get Back into Routine or as I call it  Back to School gift pack, I knew I would be making his day.We have tried a variety of string cheese at our house. Some we have really enjoyed and others were extremely rubbery. The taste of some of the cheeses hasn’t match the variety of cheese they were supposed to be either. I am not sure why that is.

We were asked to try one of the following cheese for this review regular Mozzarella, 2% Mozzarella, Tomato Basil, Jalapeno and Cracked Black Pepper. JDaniel and I talked it over and decided that the Mozzarella cheese would be the one we tried using the coupon we were sent for Polly-O/ Kraft cheese.It was very creamy and lacked that rubbery taste I mentioned before. JDaniel will be seeing a lot of these in his lunch this year. I think they will be great as an afternoon snack too. He loves cheese and the string cheese portion sizes are just the right size for a wholesome snack.

  I was also sent a wonderful gift collection called the Get Back to Routine Collection. I think each of the items is perfect for Back to School. Let me share with you why I think that.

• A striped large tote that would be great for day trips or as a substitute teacher bag. I am hoping to substitute teach this fall. This bag will be great for carrying my lunch bag, activities to put out when the class finishes it assignments, fun books to read to the students along with anything else I need to bring to school. 
• An Insulated To-Go Kit made up of wonderful food storage containers with lids and insulated covers for them. There is a salad container with a dressing container. This will be great for my lunches. Salads will be easy to eat quickly. At my son’s school the substitutes eat lunch with their classes and are the lunch monitors. I will need to eat fast to have lunch run smoothly. The second container is a bento style box with three sections. JDaniel or I will be able to bring lunches in this container. The last container is a square box. It would be great for a sandwich, snacks or maybe a slice of cake. Again JDaniel or I could use it for lunch or an after school snack.

• A Clutch Water Bottle is just what JDaniel needs to have on his desk at school. The principal told us at the New Student Meeting that every child is allowed to have a water bottle on their desk. Keeping hydrated aids in learning she told us and keeps them from jumping up to use the water fountain often. I really like the design of this one.

• A 13 Pocket Coupon File was also in the gift pack. We will be using ours to hold sight words and math flashcards. I will be keeping it in the car to use while we are waiting in the car line. Apparently the car line at JDaniel’s school is very long. We will need to have things in the car to work on.

Finally I was sent coupon for a pack of string cheese which I mentioned earlier was delicious.

Why am I sharing all this with you?

 Well, while I really have enjoyed this gift pack and know we will use its contents a lot this year there is another reason. If you read the title of this post you have probably already guessed why. Yep! I really like a routine.  You can win the exact same gift package I did. One of you will get all of the same gifts to use as you see fit. You may decided that they are great to take on an outing or for subbing just as I did or something totally different.
