Halloween Pop! #Popchips

Standard

Halloween conjures up images of gobblins and skeletons and of course…..candy!  We all know that too much candy is no good for our kids so this Halloween let’s give the Trick-or-Treaters a delicious, healthy snack!  Pop Chips has come out with some new delicous flavors that kids (as well as parents) will love.

Pop Chips are now available in a variety of flavors including spooky tortilla nacho cheese and ghoulish salt and pepper, popchips are a huge hit with snackers of all ages as they provide a delicious snack, without the guilt!

I have tried some of these new flavors and I have to say they were great.  You have a child with a sweet tooth….no problem!  Pop Chips comes in delicious Sweet Potato flavor too:)

These tasty new chips are only 100 calories per single-serve bag and contain no preservatives, trans fats, fake colors or fake flavors.

This Halloween let’s try to give out kids a treat that they enjoy eating and we can feel good about giving them!

Back to School Haul~Crew Cuts!

So….school is just around the corner…I can’t believe it!  Where did summer go!  I had to face it and do a little back to school shopping.  I found some great finds at Crew Cuts.  My daughter likes to dress up and the sparkle on the clothes and the fun styles at Crew Cuts are right up her ally.

J.Crew is a company that supports teachers! Teachers receive 15% off all their purchases year round.  It is nice they recognize the hard work of all the teachers out there!   Check out the items I picked up…

Cooking Class!

Standard

What to do with the kids when the weather is blistering hot and you just don’t want to go to the pool or beach one more time….How about a cooking class!  Recently my daughter participated in a cooking class and she loved it!  It was a fun, indoor activity and as an added bonus it was a drop off activity for a couple of hours.  It gave me a chance to go do some errands and she had the opportunity to create some delicious treats.  She made homemade pasta and cookies.  The kids loved working in the kitchen and they were more than happy to eat the food that they made!
