Always on the lookout for cool mom & baby stuff, my daughter and I dropped into The Little Seed on the trendy Larchmont Blvd, LA, (a fantastic eco-baby store,) and she immediately spotted the Goodbyn (pictured left). This brilliantly designed lunchbox features little containers of differing sizes all built into one rubbery box. Every detail of the design has been taken into consideration. It comes with a juice/water bottle and pages of stickers so your child can customize. I’m always in a fluster when it comes to packing lunch in the morning, as those reusable containers get stored in wierd places (urrghhhhhh), and I can rarely find a matching lid. It also makes it easy for older kids to prepare their own lunches. The other cool find this week is a new kid’s beverage called BRAT! Organic 
B.R.A.T. Feel Better Drink, formulated to deliver digestive comfort and nutrition for children and adults suffering from influenza, upset stomach or dehydration. Organic B.R.A.T. Feel Better Drinks are based on the principles of the B.R.A.T. Diet (an acronym for bananas, rice, applesauce and toast), and help promote gastro-intestinal health and natural electrolyte balance.
Organic B.R.A.T. Feel Better Drinks are made of a delicious blend of organic brown rice milk, banana and apple purees, and a dose of vitamins and minerals to calm pained and dehydrated stomachs. Pediatrician endorsed and doctor recommended, the drinks are all-natural, lactose, gluten, casein, soy, and corn-free with no added sugar or preservatives, making them ideal for even the most sensitive stomachs.
My daughter highly recommends the Cinnamon Toast Drink and I love that on a day when she wakes up late and we barely have 10 minutes to eat breakfast, if she gulps down a glass of BRAT, I’ll know that she filled with goodness that’ll at least carry her through until recess.
