One of my biggest pet peeves is how much candy and junk food our kids get these days.

We know how harmful artificial dyes, additives, and sugar are for our kids, yet it's everywhere - especially the concession stands. 

It's become so normal for my kids to get "a treat" after every game - even tho I know better.

I still want my kids to enjoy treats, but I don't want all the dyes and additives that go with it.

So I did some research online & at the grocery store and came up with a list of alternatives to what's at the concession stand.

I stocked up on these for the summer and we're bringing our own snacks for after the game.

My kids know I'm weird and they're used to it, but we also talked about why it's important we make better choices and they're on board with the plan!

If you're looking for some better options your kids will love, here's what I recommend:

The only reason there's so many options to choose from is because moms like you are demanding better for our kids.

Keep up the good work!

Cheers,

My Favorite Quick & Delicious Lasagna Recipe

Does it ever seem impossible to chase after your kids AND get real food on the table? I have to admit, I'm feeling it hard these last few weeks. Basketball keeps us running 4-5 nights a week. We love watching them play but it also makes for very busy weeknights. Even though we're busy, I'm not willing to sacrifice feeding them real, wholesome food. Instead, I plan meals that are easy and practical for our busy schedule.

Sick Kids? Try This Tasty, Easy Way to Boost Healthy Gut Bacteria

When I was a kid, I was on antibiotics constantly for strep throat or ear infections. Then as a teen/young adult I took antibiotics daily for years to treat acne. Certainly not something I'm proud of and definitely not something I'll be doing with my kids, but that's my reality and it's been a big part of my healing journey. Now that I see health in a different light, navigating the crunchy mom arena can sometimes be hard. I understand we get sick and antibiotics are sometimes necessary. So what would I do if my family needed antibiotics?

We did it... we survived the holidays! 🥳 I love Christmas, but let's be honest, it can be little stressful, too. All the shopping, present wrapping, cooking, special Christmas morning breakfasts, extra laundry, fighting kids, cookie baking, cleaning, stomach flu ​🤢, traveling, and late nights. It's a lot.
