Family, kids, school, sports, playdates…the life of a mom is a busy life. A busy life spent catering to others and often those other’s are hungry and thirsty. We must provide for those needs and regardless of if we’re having a backyard playdate or at this weeks soccer game the next county over, we need convenient options for making that happen. My solution, a super easy DIY Portable Snack station filled with the perfect mix of NABISCO snacks.

I say NABISCO snacks because not every snacker wants the same thing and now moms, dads, teachers, and coaches can pick, pack and snack on their own custom mix of NABISCO snacks. It’s a great way to stock up on the snacks that everyone will love and they’re perfect for soccer snacks, packing lunches or just to have a delicious treat ready to go when you are.

Now I’m a girl that likes to be in the know so I stopped by an event at our local WalMart last weekend that was featuring this new way to snack. Thank goodness they had me covered with these sassy bags to carry my loot once I made my selections. Plus the kids just think it’s cool to get their own bag and make their own life altering decisions.

    Oh, this is so cute! I love how you incorporated the magnetic strip and used the clothes pins! What a clever idea – this way they’re easily replaceable, etc. And you can use all of those items later. Love those cookies, too! 🙂

    I love this idea! Those little clothespins on the side are perfect for holding those little bags of snacks. This would be great for a playdate, bbq, or a birthday party!

    That is so cute and creative! I never would’ve thought to clip the snack bags to the side – genius. That’s sure to be a hit with the kids this Summer when we’re out at cookouts. Thanks so much for sharing.

    My little guy would love to have snacks at his fingertips. I like the idea of iced beverages at his fingertip. I will have to make me one with water and pcos friendly snacks. Thanks for the great idea!
