We are constantly on the go and weekends are no different. We have soccer most mornings and because we live in the middle of the woods the fall is the most beautiful time here with leaves changing, hiking, pumpkin picking, corn mazes- you name it we are doing it and bringing along fresh snacks and drinks!
I love using Dixie® To Go cups, because then I do not have the worry of bringing home an empty cup. I just fill with my coffee or cider for the children and off we go to conquer the world. No effort, no clean up, no worries. More time to focus on things that matter.
My husband laughs- but I am the master of the snack bag – I totally crush it every time. This may sound modest but I love being prepared and having great snacks for the kids when we are on the go. I always have a snack bag packed with delicious and healthy (and a few treats) as well as kid-friendly and adult drinks.
A variety of good things is the key to a good snack bag. Fruit, popcorn, crackers and of course a delicious homemade treat. My family loves these Pumpkin Crumb Cake Muffins, so I am sure to pack a few for our day trips.

For me there is nothing better than a steaming hot cup of coffee in my Dixie® To Go Cup and a moist and delicious muffin from the ever popular snack bag. I love that these cups give me the best on-the-go experience possible because of their leak resistant lid and insulated layer. There is nothing worse than showing up with a coffee stain on your shirt, right? I never have that problem using these cups. Next time you see them in the store, pick them up and give them a try and see how great you can crush your day.
