Time to stock up!  Your kids lunches just got amazing:

How cool is this!

Here we are, in the September / October 2015 issue of Baby London:

I’m so excited!  I used to always get this magazine when we lived in the UK.  This is just so cool!

I love store bought ice pops, but not the sugar.  These homemade freezie treats are perfect.  Filled with whatever you want, frozen smoothies or yogurt… they’re the best for cooling off on hot summer days!

Sometimes time really flies.  It feels like I blinked and all of June happened.  

But Spring was awesome.  Squeeze Please sponsored a local Toronto kids ball hockey league.  This amazing league has been around for 40 years, purely volunteer run by some very passionate parents.  We were happy to sponsor a team in the Mite division to do our bit to help keep the league going.  From Easter weekend until mid June the Mite-y Squeeze played their hearts out at some very early Saturday and Sunday mornings.  I’m also going to give a huge thank you to another sponsor the local Riverdale Perk for supplying complimentary coffee each and every game.  8:15am game times felt that much better – thank you! 

It was a great season.  Here’s the Mite-y Squeeze playing their parents on championship day in June (and winning! – go Squeeze!)

Did you know Squeeze Please pouches are available from Amazon Canada, Fenigo, Picklebee, Belo&Me, NotTheHighStreet and Amazon UK?

Check out our list of where to buy.  We sell to Canada and Europe.  

I think most people intuitively know that homemade baby food is cheaper than store bought.  But what do the numbers show?  Well, someone has run them  Have a look at One Broke Mom and see.  Spoiler alert: your intuition is right

We’re happy to share that we’re now available on Not On The High Street!

An email we got:

Just wanted to say that you guys have a great product! We discovered Squeeze Please pouches last year when our son was about 8 months old and he’s used them every day since. They’ve come with us everywhere — including Europe and Brazil — and now we’re passing some along to friends who are expecting. I’m really glad we found you! Best, J

We’re so happy to hear from reviewers in the UK.  Although we’re Canadian, we spent 5 years living in London.  My 4 year old was born in the UK, and Squeeze Please was inspired by his love the store bought pouches that are so easy to find in any shop. (we just wanted to give the landfill a break, and make one that was reusable!)  He used to have a pouch everyday in his buggy on the way home from nursery.  

Squeeze Please is available in the UK and all over Europe wherever Amazon delivers.  

You can find us on Amazon.co.uk here with free shipping within the UK!

I so often forget to keep my high ethylene fruits separate from my other fruits (sneaky Cantaloupe!!).  

I found this great info graphic, printable for your fridge.

And the American Heart Association has a great detailed guide for where to store fruits and veggies to keep them fresher longer which includes things like which veggies need holes in the bags and which don’t.  Not as visually pretty, but great detail!

It’s been HOT here!  No complaints, we had a hard winter I am loving the heat.  I’ve been freezing almost all my pouches this past month, they make the BEST freezer treats.

And yes, i eat them too!

School may be out and summer camp is on, but I still have to pack a lunch.  I’ve been in a rut!  I’m hoping these will help kick start my creativity!

And there are lots more ideas here

As my son gets closer to kindergarten age i’m on the lookout for cool litterless lunch products.  Reusable Food pouch?  check!

These look cool:

I’m a huge fan of anything that is collapsible and comes home smaller and lighter.  Smash!

Last week was my son’s birthday.  I was making a tray of mini cupcakes.  Have you ever tried to fill those tiny little things?!  I’m no baking expert, i’m sure there are some tricks out there.  But after 10 minutes of fussing around and making a huge mess, i decided to see if the Squeeze Please pouch could double as a piping bag.

And it worked so well!

There wasn’t even much waste left over in the bag – it just squeezed right out! 

If you have some alternative uses, we’d love to hear from you in the comments!
