Hiking with Kids

This article was written by Catherine our HAPPYMAMA in Virgina.

Fall is here and in most places in the US, it is perfect weather for a hike! Why not pack up the kids and go?! Three things to remember: pick a kid-friendly hike, go at THEIR pace, and keep their minds busy if they start to whine! When I am choosing a hike with kids, I look for shorter hikes that lead to something interesting such as a waterfall, a cool overlook, or unusual formations. I start by asking other parents that enjoy the outdoors for their favorite hikes. Then I will consult my local hiking store such as REI and pick an employee’s brain or ask them to recommend a good hiking book that was written specifically with kids in mind.

 
Races are not just for Athletes

Posted by: Trina August 26, 2011

Before I became a runner (and I use the term loosely), I lived under the misconception that people who run races are all super athletes. I ran my first race about 10 years ago; the Monument Avenue 10K in Richmond, VA, with a couple of girlfriends that talked me into it. I was nervous. They had all already completed races and so I was the only newbie. Plus, I had this horror that I would come in last or worse, not finish. Mark Twain said, “I have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.” I have found this to be true in just about every aspect of my life. The 10K was no exception.

We all know that we have plenty of HAPPYPUFFS containers in the recycling bin, in toy chests to use as bowling pins, storing art supplies but now we have something new for you! Nannette our Community Marketing Specialist in Nevanda recently came up with this great Halloween craft to do with your little ones.

I am always looking for a fun DIY craft project for Halloween, with these not only does your little one create something fun but they are providing a healthy treat for their friends.  These Pumpkin Snack Bags your little ones will love because they can fill them with our HAPPYBABY trail mix. All their friends will love it too,  and you will know that your child is getting nutritional snack instead of filling up on sweets.
