❄ The boys woke me up at 6am this morning because we finally got a couple of inches of snow! They had a blast!! So now we're watching Christmas Movies, per their request, because apparently that's what you do when it snows 🤷🏽‍♀️🤣

Was anyone else obsessed with origami as a kid?? 🙋🏽‍♀️ I would spend almost all day creating these unique creations, and I was pretty good at it...but the only thing that stuck with me into my adult years was this box lol! So, I purchased some Valentine’s Day inspired paper and decided to make these super cute gift boxes! And they happened to be the perfect size for those yummy Valentine’s Day treats! 😊

❤💕NEW DIY VALENTINE’S DAY POST!!
.
Valentine’s Day is such a fun holiday! Each year, I usually make my boys a goodie bag, filled with their favorite treats, but this year I decided to do something a little different! Since they absolutely LOVE our family movie nights, I thought that it would be a great idea to make them a Movie Themed Valentine’s Day Basket! [sponsored]
.
.
To make sure that I had everything that I needed, I headed over to Sprouts Farmers Market to pick up a few items. I love shopping at @Sprouts because they always have the best selection of holiday goodies, which makes it easy to put together a thoughtful gift for all the people you love!
.
.
This Movie Themed Valentine’s Day Basket was super easy to put together and for the cutest finishing touch, I added two DIY Printable Valentine’s Day Movie Tickets. The kids will use these tickets to gain access into the movie theater—also known as the Living Room lol! 😊 Click the link in the bio to print your very own set of Valentine’s Day Movie Tickets and to check out the full DIY details!

💕🍓 NEW VALENTINE’S DAY RECIPE!!

Growing up, my mom always made a big deal out of every holiday, and Valentine’s Day was no exception! My sisters and I knew that when we woke up on this particular day, we’d have candies of all kinds, sweet cards, and those fluffy animal things LOL! I loved every bit of it!
.
.
This year, I wanted to bring some of that same magic into my home, and decided to make these super cute waffles!! The recipe for these Berry Yummy Mini Heart Waffles only calls for a few simple ingredients that you probably already have in the kitchen. Click the link in my bio to check out the full recipe!!

🍕 NEW PIZZA RECIPE!!! .
.
There’s just something about pizza rolls that takes me back to my childhood. I mean, who didn’t eat pizza rolls as a kid? My sisters and I devoured them lol! Now, having children of my own, I love watching them enjoy the same foods I did at their age.
.
.
While I love the taste of original pizza rolls, I wanted to add in more nutritional value to my own recipe. What did I choose to add? You guessed it—spinach!! Spinach is a must-have in your daily diet. It contains so many health benefits that most people don’t even realize!

As a Registered Dietitian, I like to make sure that my kids have wholesome, nutritious snack options such as Silk® Kids Almondmilk Yogurt Alternative Cups, available at @Publix. This yogurt is one of my top snack choices because it contains no artificial flavors, sweeteners or preservatives, and provides 4g of protein per serving. And my kids LOVE that it’s so creamy and delicious!
.
.
They make the perfect after school snack without spoiling my kids' appetite for dinner, which is why I don’t mind when they ask for one of these yummy cups! Sometimes, I like to grab one for myself and join them for a little snack break! Be sure to visit https://ahalogy.link/SilkKidsPublix, to claim your coupon and save now! @silk

🍌Have you ever tried a Banana Split for breakfast??🍌

My kids are huge fans of breakfast cereal! They will eat it at any meal, but there are times that they want something fun and exciting for breakfast, so I decided to whip up these Healthy Breakfast Banana Splits!!
.
.
Unlike, the typical banana split, these Healthy Breakfast Banana Splits are made with a hefty serving of Greek yogurt instead of ice cream. I like adding Greek yogurt to my recipes because it contains a great source of protein, which helps to fuel our kids with energy.

There’s nothing like a bowl of General Mills Big G Cereals, such as Honey Nut Cheerios & Cinnamon Toast Crunch, paired with a delicious serving of milk! Yum!

It’s the ultimate, nutrient-packed duo!

Are your kids getting enough fiber??
.
Fiber is an important nutrient that most children (and parents) are not getting enough of each day. As a mom, I know that we do our very best to feed our family nutritious foods, but sometimes we need help with choosing good sources of fiber. My favorite way to increase our fiber intake is by preparing fun recipes with peas, beans, nuts and whole grains. Head over to the blog for more fiber info!

🍓Who can resist fruit roll-ups??

How many of you were fans of fruit roll-ups…and probably still are?? 🙋🏽‍♀️Lol! Fruit roll-ups were one of my favorite snacks growing up! My kids are also huge fans of this tasty snack and they ask for it every time we take a trip to the grocery store!
.
.
Even though we love this yummy snack, I couldn’t help but to notice the high amount of sugar on the nutrition facts label. At that moment, I decided to make my own fruit roll-ups to see if I could make a healthier version...and they turned out GREAT!!! Check out the blog for the full recipe!!

One thing that never gets old in our home is peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, better known as PB&J! My kids can literally eat this at any meal, which is why I always keep a stash of peanut butter and jelly on hand!
.
.
Even though they are in love with the classic PB&J, I thought that it would be fun to switch things up a little bit and make a PB&J Greek Yogurt Parfait! Parfaits are seriously the best thing ever! I’m able to add in lots of nutritious fiber with the whole grain granola, and lots of yummy protein and calcium with the Greek yogurt! And of course sprinkles for a little added fun! 😊
