Now that's my kind of arts & crafts! Yummy! Be sure to say you saw it on Albany Mommy!
A few months ago Albany Mommy and a few readers {with their children} got to take a Nutrition Tour at Hannaford in Latham with Monique, their registered dietician.
We learned so much! I can't believe it. Monique taught us about organic vs non-organic. If you are going to spend the money for organic without going fully organic, what should you spend money on? Monique said anything where the skin goes in pretty much. Like apple juice, I never thought to buy organic, but the skins are pressed along with everything else and not scrubbed of pesticides first. Eeewwww!
Did you know that when high fructose corn syrup is produced that mercury is a by-product? I almost fell over when Monique went into detail about that.
We also learned some great snack ideas for kids at home and to take to school. Freeze little yogurts, they'll be ready to eat by snack time, frozen grapes, and the best tip - put in a variety and let kids "make their own snack. For instance, veggies and dip, apples and peanut butter, yogurt and topping. Anything where kids put together ingredients with make food more fun. We've been trying it at our house and snacks have gotten so much healthier.
Hannaford offers nutrition tours and classes at each Hannaford. I highly suggest taking the time for a tour. Get another Mom or 2 and go together. Monique will tailor the tour towards you. I told her we wanted to know a lot about organic eating and kids eating and she really did a great job concentrating on those items.
For a $7/year fee you certain oral antibiotics for free, over 450 generic drugs for $4/30 days and $10/90 days, and discounts on diabetic supplies among other things.
Depending on how many kids you have, the free antibiotics alone make it so worth the annual fee!
Looking for stuff to do with the kids? Here's some suggestions!
~Keep it simple. Put some paper, crayons, scissors {depending on age}, cotton balls, straws, tissue paper, tissues, and a few other strange things on the kitchen table. Let them go to town and make whatever. Imaginations thrive!
~Make a tent with a sheet and a few chairs. Give them a flashlight to make shadows inside the tent.
~If your child is old enough totake a shower, send them in with a can of shaving cream. You wouldn't believe how much fun they have. The laughter and excitement will put a huge smile on your face!
I love to keep it simple. It's the smallest thing that amuses kids the most!
Got any ideas? Please share! I love to know more fun things to do with the kids!
