This post was sponsored by Nabisco as part of an Integrated Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

One reason is because they love PB&J's, but the other reason is that's really all the know to choose. So why don't I just pick what to pack in their lunch box myself? Been there, done that. Most of the time it works out fine, especially if there's a protein + fruit spread concoction inside, but sometimes not … [Read more...]
