Nourish Those Little Bodies: National Nutrition Month

Healthy kids = happy kids. March is the perfect time to refresh your family’s eating habits.

Try these simple nutrition wins:

Make food colorful – Let kids pick fruits and veggies in every shade of the rainbow.

Snack smarter – Think apple slices with peanut butter, yogurt with berries, or DIY trail mix.

Hydration station – Help them decorate a water bottle to keep sipping fun.

Little chefs, big excitement – Let them help with meal prep. They’re more likely to eat what they create!

Celebrate the Wonder Women: Women’s History Month

From scientists to civil rights heroes, March is all about recognizing the women who changed the world and encouraging kids to dream big too.

Fun ways to get kids involved:

Storytime superheroes – Read books about trailblazers like Rosa Parks, Mae Jemison, or Frida Kahlo.

Thank you notes – Write sweet messages to the amazing women in their lives—mom, teacher, grandma, or doctor!

Mini presentations – Have older kids pick an inspiring woman to learn about and present to the family.

Spring Break = Spring Fun

No school? No problem. Keep kids active and engaged with these easy and budget-friendly spring break ideas:

Top 5 Spring Break Activities:

1. Nature scavenger hunt – Explore your local park or backyard with a checklist.

2. Chalk art fest – Turn the driveway into a masterpiece or hopscotch course.

3. Backyard camping – Tents, flashlights, and s’mores (yes, please!).

4. Kids’ cooking day – Make healthy snacks like fruit kabobs or veggie wraps.

5. Dance party break – Burn energy and boost moods with a living room dance-off.

March is more than a month—it’s a celebration of health, history, and having fun together. So eat well, celebrate strong women, and enjoy a safe and joyful spring break!
