Back-to-school is around the corner and everyone is starting to do their shopping for school supplies, backpacks, lunch boxes and clothes! Or at least you are starting to think about it after seeing the stores putting out all their back-to-school goods. We have partnered with Goodbyn and are doing a giveaway for some of their items that we personally love that will help you to acquire some of the things you will need. We all know how costly it can get this time of year, so what better than the chance to win something your child needs?! And if you don’t win, we also have a special promo code just for you Modern Day Moms – and dads – out there so that you can use to purchase the products for less. Every little bit helps! I pack my 7 year old son’s lunch for school because I like to know that he is offered something fresh and healthy every day. And I also like to see how much he is eating because then I will know if he has grown tired of something that he usually likes. Face it, we all get burnt out on certain foods after a while, right? The Goodbyn Hero food bin and Dipper set are perfect for him as he loves a variety of foods for each meal. All dry food can stay in the Hero bin while anything wet (yogurt, etc) can go in the dipper to avoid any possibility of spillage because if any of his foods mix, my son refuses to eat them and I don’t want him starving throughout the day. An empty stomach deters focus and we don’t want to do that. The Goodbyn roll-down lunch bag is also perfect because the Hero bin can sit down in there flat and it stays that way as he carries his lunch box, once again, preventing his food from being tossed around. I can’t rave enough about these products and how well they are made. I have no doubt that we will make good use of them for years to come! They have quite a few other items that you should check out on their online catalog.
Our giveaway includes:
1 Goodbyn Hero food bin
1 Goodbyn Reusable bottle
1 Goodbyn Dipper set
1 Goodbyn spork
1 Goodbyn insulated lunch bag
1 Goodbyn patch

Our only stipulation is that you head over to Goodbyn’s Facebook page and like them before entering and continue to do so throughout the contest. Please comment below an example of a packed lunch you prepare for your child to enter the giveaway. Maybe you might give another mom an idea for their child(ren)! The winner will be chosen by a random number generator on Friday, August 8th at 12pm. You have one week! If you decide you don’t want to wait, then please use the promo code Goodbyn provided to receive 25% off everything in their store through September 15th. Use the code MODERNDAYMOMS at checkout. Good luck to all!

10 years agoI love trying to pack them a well balanced lunch! My oldest favs are pb/banana/organic honey sandwiches, with some fruit, carrots and a dip like hummus or ranch dressing. His twin brother likes tomato soup(when it’s cold), loves a good salad and some fruit. My 3 year old daughter loves any type of finger foods but also loves leftover spaghetti with similar “sides” as her brothers! Also occasionally add in a sweet treat, usually something homemade so I know the ingredients are good! The littlest one of the 4 doesn’t eat big food yet but I hope our healthy habits wear off on her too! ;-)
