Due to popular demand (i.e. a couple of pesky emails from friends and readers - I love you all.), I’ve pulled together a new category for healthy kid snacks that are perfect for traveling and general life on the go. I’ve been thinking a lot more about this category of snacks lately and hope to be developing it a great deal in the coming months.
