Back to School for Better Health

August/September means it’s back to school time.  Mornings get really busy. When you’re in a hurry, a green smoothie takes fresh fruits and veggies and creates a quick nutritious breakfast or anytime snack.

Just like you, I’m looking for easy ways for my family to eat healthier and I really like what NutriBullet University is doing.

  43. My son is military and they live in Arizona. We live in Delaware and we are planning on taking a road trip out to see them next week. I can’t wait because I have a 2 year old granddaughter that I haven’t seen since last summer because they have not been able to come home and even though my son is 25, I also have a 10 year old so with her in school, going during the school year was out of the question.

    • When we couldn’t get away, we would get lost on purpose. We’d get in the car and drive in a direction just to discover something new. It was good to try something new.

    • Oh, congratulations on the wee one! The best piece of advice I was given with kids is to take lots of candid pictures. They grow so fast that the everyday things like sitting in the high chair, in the shopping cart, clapping, etc. are soon outgrown. So take tons of pictures so you can look back and remember when….
