I have to tell you guys about my newest favorite thing–my Recycooler!  You guys know that I live out in the boonies so for us to really get anywhere we face a minimum 20 minute drive one way!  I usually try to make the most of our trips which means I may have the boys out and about for a couple of hours running from place to place!  To maintain sanity I ALWAYS pack a snack to take with us in the car. Hello–I am frugal…I refuse to pay for a convenience snack and drink if at all possible 🙂 

The folks over at Recycooler sent me one of their fabulous products and I just love it. In the past I have tried several options…the cold bag was just too big and really did not keep the items chilled.  My plastic cooler is just too heavy and cumbersome to tote around to the park while trying to haul everything and hold hands with my little one.  I am sure you can imagine what two boys can do with a polystrene cooler…I wasted like $8 on one only to have the boys poke pens in it the first day I brought it home!!  I have been using a small vinyl cooler but it really is just a bit too small–I can’t get everything packed and it never fails that my drink is the one that always gets left out!! 
I just love the Recycooler as it is very lightweight (only 2.44 pounds) and  it is a perfect size to carry everything we need in a day.  The size is great and I can leave it in my car without taking up too much space.  That way I can put in items I need to stay chilled and not worry about rushing home before they spoil in this Georgia heat!!
