One of my biggest pet peeves is how much candy and junk food our kids get these days.

We know how harmful artificial dyes, additives, and sugar are for our kids, yet it's everywhere - especially the concession stands. 

It's become so normal for my kids to get "a treat" after every game - even tho I know better.

I still want my kids to enjoy treats, but I don't want all the dyes and additives that go with it.

So I did some research online & at the grocery store and came up with a list of alternatives to what's at the concession stand.

I stocked up on these for the summer and we're bringing our own snacks for after the game.

My kids know I'm weird and they're used to it, but we also talked about why it's important we make better choices and they're on board with the plan!

If you're looking for some better options your kids will love, here's what I recommend:

If you can't find these locally, here's the links for you to order:

The only reason there's so many options to choose from is because moms like you are demanding better for our kids.

Keep up the good work!

Cheers,

For many parents, this didn’t feel surprising — it felt like confirmation. But after all that conversation, I kept hearing the same thing from moms: “Okay… but how do we actually do this?”

Where to Begin: A Real-Food Reset for Busy Families

As we step into a new year, it’s impossible to ignore what’s happening around us. Kids are getting sick more often. Chronic illness is becoming normal. Cancer, autoimmune disease, digestive issues, anxiety, ADHD — it feels like nearly every family is dealing with something. For many parents, that realization is unsettling. And it leads to a hard but important question: Is the way we’re eating part of the problem?
