Tasty Tuesday-Healthy Kid Snacks

Just like you, I want to be sure that my children eat well balanced meals and healthy snacks. We try to talk about healthy choices and the importance of good food and exercise. I also want them to have a healthy relationship with food and that in moderation nothing is off limits. I have seen first hand how a proper diet can improve the well being of a child. I also want to make eating fun and enjoyable. I love to find new and creative ways to turn a regular snack into a fun experience. Here are few of my favorites that I hope you also will enjoy.
 
1. We also like using carrot sticks-http://www.creativelyblooming.com/2011/08/fishin-tales.html 

2. I like to take two Ritz crackers, spread about a teaspoon of peanut butter on one of the crackers. Sandwich the crackers together and take eight pretzel sticks and stick them between crackers to make spider legs. Two raisins on top of the crackers for eyes and you have a fun quick snack. 

3. How about cutting up a variety of fruit and letting your little ones create their own magic wand

4. This is a fun one to make and the kids can help! http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/frozen-yogonana-bites/7b6dde7e-92e6-4b64-9c62-7a1677bfade0

 

5. For a sweet treat-take a strawberry and slice it into thirds. Lay out three Nilla Wafers and top each Nilla Wafer with a little dollop of lite Cool-Whip and top with a strawberry piece. Even I love snacking on these!

 

 

What are some of your favorite snacks to give your kiddos?  Please share in the comments section below or share on our Facebook page. I would love to hear what you got cookin' :)

Tasty Tuesday-Use This Not That

Happy 2012 2013 ladies! This time of year is a symbolic slate clearer. The New Year allows us to reflect on the year past and look ahead at the year to come. We stop and contemplate the changes we want to see in our lives. I am sure most of us are pledging to give up something or start something. I heard that 82% of resolutions fall by the wayside and I am usually no exception! This year, like maybe some of you, I am wanting to lose the twins that keep following me everywhere I go......yes, the booty must go (well, not all of it because it is usually my favorite body part)! The last two years life and mid thirties crept up on me and I forgot to take a minute to care for myself. I am hoping that I can find a balance of taking care of a young family while juggling the commitments of aging parents. I am committing to be more thoughtful with my choices.  Will I succeed? Well, I would be a little embarrassed if I shared this with you all if I didn't succeed even a little;) Mostly, I really want to deepen my relationship and walk with the Lord. What are your resolutions? You know you wanna share!!

This month we wanted to make our blog about wellness for our mind, body,and soul. I hope to share helpful tips, tricks, recipes, devotions, and things to help our walk closer to God. Do you have something to share? I would LOVE to feature your beautiful self on the pages of our blog!

To get us started I have found a great page that offers 83 healthy baking and cooking substitutions. It is a great list and some things make me a little nervous but I am willing to give it a try! http://greatist.com/health/healthy-recipe-substitutions/#

I hope you are all having a wonderful celebration with those you love! My prayer for you is that this year you will grow deeper in your faith, that your marriages will be stronger and more passionate, that you will find great purpose in being a great mama, to be more intentional with your friendships, mostly, to find ways to be a blessing to others. May God guide your paths, comfort you, and give you peace as you embark on a shiny new year!
