A Dallas Mom Blog
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of P&G at Sam’s Club. The opinions and text are all mine.

“You can’t pour from an empty cup.”
I remember hearing that quote for the first time. It was one of those “Aha!” moments. I was a new mom, with a baby in the NICU and recovering from surgery myself.

That’s where these easy toddler snacks come in — Butterfly Pretzel Snacks are one of my son’s favorite things to eat!
The only thing worse than a bored toddler at a restaurant is a hungry toddler at a restaurant. That’s why you need to make up this Restaurant Busy Bag to keep on hand for when you’re eating out with your kiddos.
