Top 10 Healthy Tips to Get Your Kids Ready For Back To School
It's almost time to get the kids back to school. I am thinking about it and looking forward to it. I have compiled a list of tips to help get your kids ready for back to school. I know these might be really helpful to you.
1. Keep fresh fruits in the house for snacks. Get the junk out and keep it out. Eating healthy makes us healthy.
2. Do your back to school shopping early. Do not wait until the last minute. The stores will be so busy and overwhelming. Go shopping early and get it done quickly. Do not stress out about the back to school shopping.
3. Stay active year round. During the summer we ride bikes and swim a lot to st
ay active. It's a lot of fun and it keeps up moving. Once school starts back up we have our normal activities to keep us busy.
4. Go to the dentist and get teeth cleaned and checked for cavities. We go to the dentist twice a year and have the appointments scheduled before school and then again before the summer.
5. Go to the eye doctor and get their eyes checked. Eye health is very important. Healthy eyes and being able to see help children do well in school.
6. Don't over pack their backpacks. Over packed back packs are too heavy for little ones. Check them out and make sure that your children are able to carry them easily.
7. Write down a list of the medications your children take and give it to the school nurse before they go back to school. Make sure you talk to your children about their medication and what they have to take and when.
8. Get any necessary immunizations. If you need any immunizations get them taken care of before school starts, while you're there get a physical and make sure nothing is wrong physically with your children.
9. Talk with your children about possible dangers in riding the school bus or walking to and from school. Talk about what to do in different situations. A prepared child is a healthy child.
10. Have fun. Do not get stressed out about back to school. Make it fun and enjoy yourself.
These are the top ten tips for a healthy back to school season. I know that back to school is an exciting time and fun time, but it could also be stressful. There's no need to get stressed about it.
I wrote this blog post while participating in the SocialMoms and Transitions Lenses blogging program, for a gift card worth $50. For more information on how you can participate, click here.

Kill Cliff Sports Recovery Drink Review
KILL CLIFF is a company that’s looking to do something different. We’re not producing just another drink, but a beverage that will help with both endurance and recovery, and we’re not doing it because we think the world needs another drink, but because the world needs a healthy, functinal beverage that actually works.
Kill Cliff was created by a former US Navy SEAL who wanted to create a drink that he could consume on a daily basis, and one that would also deliver key nutraceutical performance ingredients.
Motivation plays a big part in what we do, and one of our biggest motivations is giving back to our military brothers, and our communities. Our goal is to be the single largest contributor to SEAL, wounded veterans, and Special Forces/Warfare related charities. Additionally, Kill Cliff will contribute to other community charities in and around Atlanta, Georgia and other locals where the product is sold.

I received a case of Kill Cliff Sports Recovery Drinks to sample and review. I am not a very active person so I thought that these would be better for the athletes in my life. I did try one and it was really good. I loved that it was natural tasting and no sugar crash after drinking it. I felt good after having a Kill Cliff. I also shared these with my family and friends and everyone gave me positive feedback about the drink. They said they were really good tasting and the drinks made them feel restored after a hard workout.
One of my cousins even said this drink was a good cure for a hangover, but I didn't test that theory myself. I am too old for hangovers anyway. Kill Cliff is the world's only anti-inflammatory sports drink.
You can connect with Kill Cliff on facebook or twitter.
I assure you that you will be happy you tried Kill Cliff, so go to their website and order a case, you will not regret it. They also sell cool tee shirts.

Sans Sucre Review & Giveaway Ends 8/17/11 at 7 PM EST
Review:
I received four baking mixes to sample and review. We love sweets but we do not need a lot of sugar in our diets so I couldn't wait to try these out. Here's some information about the company:
The Sans Sucre baking mix line includes: Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake, Milk Chocolate Brownie, Classic Blondie Brownie and Chocolate Fudge Brownie. They are available for a suggested retail price of $3.99 - $4.49.
First we tried the Milk Chocolate Brownie Mix. It was moist and fluffy. It tasted much better than we were expecting since it has no added sugar. These brownies are amazing. I really enjoyed every bite and felt good about the fact that they were not too bad for us to eat.
Next we tried the Classic Blondie Brownie Mix. I love Blondie's they are my favorite thing in the whole world. I couldn't wait to taste these. I was pleasantly surprised that I loved these as well. When they were baking I couldn't wait for them to finish because they smelled so good. I had one with a glass of milk, it was a wonderful treat.
We also received the Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake Mix and the Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix. We have not tried these yet, but I know that they will be excellent because the two we tried were. I plan on having the Apple Cinnamon Coffee Cake this weekend for breakfast and the Chocolate Fudge Brownie Mix sometime next week.
These mixes are easy to prepare, just follow the instructions written right on the box. You really will not miss the added sugar. It's actually nice to have a great tasting treat without the sugar. I am really loving these baking mixes.

Bernard Food Industries Introduces Sans Sucre Baking Mixes
New Naturally Sweetened, Sugar-Free and No Sugar Added Mixes
Evanston, Ill (July 25, 2011) - Foodservice industry specialists Bernard Food Industries, Inc. recently launched a new line of sugar-free and no sugar added baking mixes sweetened with all-natural Stevia. Sans Sucre, meaning “sugar free” in French, is available online and will be available at retail stores beginning in the fourth quarter.
“Over the course of our 60+ year history, we have been dedicated to providing healthy dieting options. The Sans Sucre baking mix line is our first line of naturally sweetened products,” says Steven Bernard, chief executive officer of Bernard Food Industries.
By using Stevia, an all-natural sweetener, Sans Sucre is able to produce baking mixes that have great taste and are naturally sweetened without additional sugar. According to the Mintel Sugar-Free Foods Survey, 24 percent of Americans watch their sugar intake. As this increasing number of people is staying away from processed foods that contain high amounts of sugar, preservatives and artificial ingredients, Sans Sucre is a great option for healthy eaters, diabetics and dieters alike.
Along with being naturally sweetened, the Sans Sucre baking mixes are sugar-free or no sugar added, low fat, no cholesterol, lower in calories and lower in sodium. These nutritional facts appeal to the 90 percent of adults that consume low calorie or reduced fat foods on a regular basis, according to the Calorie Control Council.
Note: Sans Sucre line of baking mixes is the first to use Stevia in place of sugar or artificial sweeteners. Stevia is an all-natural sugar substitute that is sweet in taste and free of calories, carbohydrates and fat, making it a healthy alternative. However, there is a distinct difference in taste between Stevia and regular sugar. “Like soda and diet soda both Stevia and sugar have different flavor profiles.” says Steven Bernard, chief executive officer of Bernard Food Industries.
About Sans Sucre Baking Mixes
Sans Sucre is the first line of baking mixes from foodservice industry specialists, Bernard Food Industries, Inc that are flavored with Stevia, an all-natural sweetener. In addition, they are sugar-free or no sugar added, low fat, no cholesterol, lower in calories and lower in sodium. For more information visit: www.sanssucrefoods.com.
About Bernard Food Industries

Family owned and operated by the Bernard family, Bernard Food Industries, Inc. has 1,000 specialty food products, including beverages, soups, seasonings, sauces, baking mixes, and more.
