I spent some time with Rachelle the last couple of weeks during my trip to the Midwest, and there were so many reflections back to when I was her age. For one, I had a 3 year old sister running around the house cracking us up with her Barney impersonations, impromptu dance routines, and occasional make up trials. She would ask me to play "Linus and Lucy" on the piano and would dance her socks off, then continue to ask me to play it over and over and over again (for that reason I'll never forget how to play that song.)
Now that your kids are back in school and probably as busy as ever with activities, consider sending them off with these grab-and-go organic dried fruit treats from Peeled Snacks to keep them energized through the day. They are even a great option for toddlers, as Judah can testify just from the photo below. 🙂 With the variety of flavors they offer, from Cherry-go-round to Apricot-a-lot, your kids will not easily bore of these. But, don't just limit this snack to your kids! Adults (myself included) love these dried fruits just as much!

Oh man, I cringe at my after school snacks back in the day... all sorts of junk food my conscience would never allow me to eat now! But if I had to choose it would be a toss up between a Little Debbie snack or Handi-snacks, those little cracker/breadstick and cheese packages.

I personally like bright orange cheetos that make your fingers all powdery if you licked them though I prefer something healthier for my own toddler and pre-schooler! I am curious about the snacks because they are organic....I peel grapes for my toddler because of all the pesticides!

I can't remember all the way back, but in high school, we did a lot of unhealthy snacking - Gardetto's and Diet Mt. Dew, individual sized frozen pizzas, Doritos, BK french fries, ice cream (my friends and I all worked at a local ice cream shop)...wish I could still eat like that now and not have to worry about it! 🙂
