Before & After: Rubbermaid Easy Find Lids Review

IMG_0326

Since September, I’ve transitioned from being a stay-at-home mom who barely left the house without my kids, to a student in Yoga Teacher Training to a part-time working mom. For the first few months, I struggled leaving my kids, even when they were fine. Now I’ve settled into a better rhythm. It helps that I work directly across the street from my home, and the kids can come visit me. Despite being so close to home, I don’t have enough time during my break at work to come home for meals. Being on a simple budget, we don’t have the money for me to regularly buy my lunch. I kid you not, the most frustrating thing about getting ready for work and getting out the door in a timely fashion, with two toddlers trying to climb me, is my food storage container situation. I don’t know how it is humanly possible for lids and/ or containers to disappear without my husband or me taking them out of our home ourselves, but somehow we have an inordinate amount of lids without containers and container without lids.

It’s gotten to the point where I’ve resorted to carrying my food in a container with cling wrap over it and just hoped for the best.
Suffice it to say, when I was contacted to do a review on Rubbermaid Easy Find Lids, I jumped at the opportunity! I was sent their 24 PIECE SET including lids. In this package were twelve containers in six different sizes.

All of the lids click on to the bottom of the containers and other lids to ensure they are kept together when stored. When in use, they fit on the container in a fashion typical to all food storage containers.
Since receiving the package, I have had to work six days in a row and have used them for a variety of meals. Each time, I have been thrilled with how well my food has travelled. Food I have left in the fridge at work days later is still as fresh as it was the day I left it. I highly recommend these containers for your family and, if you’re like me, for your own sanity πŸ˜‰

Hi! I'm Alana. When I'm not nursing cold, stale coffee, I usually can be found with the baby on my hip, barefoot, and racing after my two older kids. Thanks to a degree in psychology and a free-range childhood backing onto an expansive evergreen forest, positive parenting and play-based learning are my passions. Read more here.

I remember in my earlier days of parenting when I I remember in my earlier days of parenting when I had two under two so much of my life was spent thinking I’ll be happy when…

I’ll be happy when they sleep through the night.

I’ll be happy when my husband doesn’t have to work such late hours.

I’ll be happy when I look and feel like myself again and not a feeding troth 😬😬😬

As it turns out this struggle with finding happiness isn’t unique to me or parenting. 

Collectively our mental health is suffering, but there are many research backed ways to improve happiness. (Link in bio to read more).

Though there are countless people who understand t Though there are countless people who understand the importance of positive, responsive parenting, the idea that young children should self-soothe remains a prevalent belief.

Though this ideology is well-intentioned, it actually goes against what we know about human development.

Babies come into the world highly dependent on responsive caregiving not only for nurturance and protection but also to foster social and emotional development.

While it may seem that leaving a child to cry will help her learn to cope, it actually floods her brain with cortisol. She doesn’t learn to self-soothe but instead to shut down.

Though it may seem counterintuitive to some, independence is fostered through responsive care. The less stressed a child feels, the safer he feels to explore his world. The less stressed he feels, the more appropriate his emotional responses become.

This is first seen in late infancy but pervades through childhood and adulthood.

So often independence and attachment are thought t So often independence and attachment are thought to be mutually exclusive.
However, research shows that in order for children (and adults) to be independent, they need to feel safe and secure within their closest relationships. In childhood, this means having caregivers who respond to distress and both emotional and physical needs.
In adulthood, people who have responsive and caring partners feel more stable and comfortable being independent.
So hold and comfort those babies.
Hug and respond to your kids.
Love and hold space for the adults you are closest to.
Attachment fosters independence.
