The other day I felt conflicted while packing my daughter's school lunch. What should I give her for snack time? Cheesy flavored crackers? Another apple sauce pouch? Then I really felt indecisive - what Goodkid snack bar should I include? Yeah I realize these are #firstworld problems, but seriously folks, these delicious bars come in 3 yummy flavors: Oatmeal Raisin, Apple Cinnamon & Lemon Blueberry.
