Last week was a straight up busy week for me! I mean, I’m always busy as a mom of two and a blogger. But last week was on another level. It’s no secret that I love blogging and I love motherhood so busy isn’t a bad thing here. I love it especially since I can mesh the two. As New York City mommy, I am accustomed to a straight up on-the-go lifestyle. So here’s what happened last week, outside of my usually long days volunteering at my daughter’s school, keeping a toddler happy and entertained, taking my kids to activities and working from anywhere with wifi my kids had their first photo shoot and I attended a press junket.
I wouldn’t lie, a week like last week made me absolutely love my life. I’ll take busy week as a mommy blogger over anything else but running around New York City with two kids in tow can be exhausting. So how did I survive it? I have to admit it was Snapple® Straight Up™ Tea. Luckily, last weekend I woke up early on Sunday morning and went to Walmart to do some shopping. I got a bunch of stuff but I’m one of those shoppers who always wander off the list to try something new. You do that too right?
Snapple is a hometown favorite and staple for us here in New York, after all Snapple was born here. I was sold on buying Snapple Straight Up™ Tea when I realized that it has a real brewed tea taste and comes in 3 levels of sweetness – Sweetened, Unsweetened and Sorta Sweet. I grabbed all three flavors and stashed them in my bag and car not realizing how handy they would come in during the week.
Wednesday morning, I headed out to take my kids to their first photo shoot. It went really well and I can’t wait to share all the photos with you guys. We were all pretty excited and happy when the photoshoot ended smoothly at 12:30pm. I was looking forward to a smooth ride home when due to some construction we would end up stuck in traffic. With the kids knocked out in the backseat and my snack time internal clock ticking I reached for my Straight Up™ Tea. I wouldn’t lie, I made such a loud “Ahhh” that I was a bit scared they would wake up. I was so happy to have my little stash of Snapple Straight Up™ Tea in that moment. I grabbed a few of The Super Knight’s animal crackers and I munched on them with while sipping my tea.
Then on Friday, Snapple Straight Up™ Tea saved the day again! I headed out early in the morning right after drop-off to a screening and press junket for a new animated movie. Of course, it was a busy day, to different locations and using every form of New York City transportation including walking, driving, train and cabs (in heels) I was just exhausted by the time I got back to my neighborhood to go grab my daughter from school. Again, I needed a quick pick me up so I grabbed my Snapple Straight Up™ Tea. It was 2:00pm and my brunch was just starting to wear off. It was just the perfect pick me up since I promised to take the kids to the local children’s musuem that afternoon and wouldn’t be able to grab a bite.
I’m so happy that I found a new go-to drink to straight up save me on my busiest mom days with right amount of sugar for my cravings.

Have you tried Snapple® Straight Up™ Tea?
Umm, enough about the tea (just kidding), I’m all about that bag. <3.
I definitely do that too (wander and veer off the list). Haha. I’ll have to check out that tea – never tried it. Definitely can use all the help I can get with keeping up. Thanks for sharing.
I don’t know how I missed this one. I’m such a tea drinker, hot or cold I’m a fan. That purse is screaming HELLO SPRING!!!
I think the first (and one of the last times, unfortunately) I had snapple was when it first arrived in Canada. Back in the early 90’s! LOL I don’t think I liked it, or either that I just went back to my regular type of drink (a pepsi lol). By the way, loving your purple purse! It’s really pretty.
I love the teas too hot or cold will check out and thanks for sharing.
I love Snapple. I have found that if I drink too much coffee, I am jittery. But iced tea sounds great for us crazy busy moms. Our only problem? Having to go to the bathroom while racing around while driving our kids to and from everything under the sun.

This looks so refreshing! I’m a busy mom too and lately, it seems that my weeks have gotten even busier. I even had to bring my two little ones with me to meet a client for the first time. I closed the deal anyway! Thanks for the post, it is nice to know that I’m not alone in all of the business.
Oh I’ve never heard of this product! I love Snapple but don’t drink it often because of the amount of sugar they put in it but this sounds perfect since it’s straight tea and unsweetened : ) thanks for sharing!
Haven’t tried it, but it is the official drink of NYC. I like Snapple so I will have to try this out.
Don’t you just love finding hidden drinks or snacks in your purse after a long day?! LOL I haven’t had snapple in a long time but I may just have to try out these new drinks! Thanks for sharing and can’t wait to see the photoshoot.
Is that a new bottle design? I haven’t seen it yet! I’ve always loved Snapple, ever since I was a teenager. They have the best-tasting teas. I know what you mean about busy weeks, seems every week is crazy these days!
I like that it comes in three levels of sweetness. I try to limit my sugar intake so this makes it easy.

Such a cute post!!! I love that it has 3 level of sweetness! Sometimes I just don’t want really sweet drinks, so that is perfect! Thanks for sharing!
I love snapple and I love tea. It is neat how it has the different levels of sweetness! I am not a huge sweet tea lover I like mine with a little less sweetness! 🙂 My kids also like tea I think they will like these!
