Goldfish by Pepperidge Farms have been apart of all 3 of my kids’ lives. I can vividly recall their little tiny fingers holding the classic fish cracker, ‘swimming’ around the kitchen while I cook. This little delicious snack very well could have been their first introduction to fish of any kind!
While shopping, Goldfish were my saviour in keeping the girls occupied and happy while I got the task done. Then, during a family trip to Mexico, I can still close my eyes and see the twins sitting poolside sharing Goldfish as an afternoon snack. Something familiar and comforting in an otherwise ‘strange’ surroundings!
We always opted for the original Goldfish flavor when the kids were wee little ones, yet now they have two new Graham varieties on the shelves to enjoy – Honey and Chocolate!
The kids and I have a strong preference to the new Goldfish Grahams Honey crackers which swam into stores in 2011. Then, for a sweet snack without the parenting guilt of throwing the kids a high-calorie snack, the Grahams Chocolate are a good choice. Both Grahams Honey and Chocolate are Baked, Contain no artificial colours or flavours and are Low in saturated fat with zero trans fat.
Just a tip from this Mom, the Goldfish Grahams Chocolate pair nicely in a bowl of ice cream as well! OK, I guess the fish is out of the tank, I will not deny that us adults have been caught numerous times snaking a handful from the pantry from time to time.
In fact, on a recent shopping trip I not only found my favorite Goldfish on sale {and had a coupon!}, but also saw the most adorable little storage bags as well!
Our trip to Mexico was my personal favorite Goldfish Moment. Yet countless times I have praised Finn and his friends for keeping my kids happy and occupied; whether on a flight, in the car, for school snacks or just at home.

My goldfish moment was a looooong summertime roadtrip filled with detours, break downs and sure bad luck. An 6 hour trip turned into a 12 hour misadventure and thankfully for the stash of goldfish our kids were happy and quiet!
i love watching a sunday afternoon movie with my little girl while sharing a little snack bowl of goldfish crackers together, i cant put into words how much she loves her goldfish!

Pick me, pick me. Your next winner!!! Show me the money! My goldfish moment is sharing it with the kids by the fireplace. We would get up early to watch Sunday’s morning cartoon. It would be a dream come true and means a lot more to me than anyone else to win the prize. Starving artist here desperately needs the camera for family vacations. A life changing experience. Top of my bucket list.

Goldfish have saved the day for me many times on long road trips with cranky, tired kids. They are perfectly portable and just the thing to tide them over to the next stop

My favorite moments are definitely on planes! We live across the country from both sets of grandparents, so Goldfish have kept my 3 year old and 1 year old occupied more times than I can count!
Goldfish reminds me of snacking with the kids when we were out and about.
Thanks for the giveaway
