Create SUPER after-school snacks. Top your Fruit Kabobs with Aroniaberry Gummy Chews.
The countdown is on for back to
school. As summer starts winding down, keep these great tips in mind for a
SUPER school year. Also, check out our links below to over 100 different
back-to-school ideas.
Create
Menus for Healthy Breakfasts
Make sure your
children have the fuel they need to start the day right. Get up 15
minutes early to give you and your children time to sit down for a healthy
breakfast that will keep all of you fueled up throughout the day. Make
overnight oatmeal the night before topped with Superberries Frozen
Aroniaberries mixed in. Our antioxidant-rich superfood has so
many health benefits and will keep your hunger at bay until lunchtime.
Create
a Stash of School Supplies
So
you don’t have to make that late nite run to the office supply store. Stock up
on posterboard, pencils, pens, markers, index cards, etc. Now is the time
to buy these items with all the school supplies on sale.
Create
a Back-to-School File
Make
a file box with file folders for each class, extracurricular activities, clubs,
camps and permission slips. This will allow your kids to unload past
assignments and let you see what is due. Consider making a weekly
assignment sheet so you can keep kids on task.
Get
Out the Door on Time
Being
late is stressful. Set alarms throughout the morning to be ready on time.
Set at 15-minute intervals to
accomplish morning tasks but make it fun. Award prizes to the kids for
being the first to be dressed, the first down to the kitchen, etc.
Get
Organized
Before
school starts and before you go back to school shopping, purge worn-out and
clothes that don’t fit. Find a donation center that sells and recycles old
clothing. Also back to school time is a great time to purge old toys and update
bedrooms for the upcoming school year.
Create
School Lunch Bins
Get
a plastic bin or shoe box for the fridge and cupboard to store all your school
lunch items. Whipping up sandwiches will be a cinch by storing deli meats,
lettuce, cheeses, and spreads in a special place in the fridge. Divvy up
yogurts, fruits, fruit snacks and veggies for the week in zip lock
bags. You can do the same with nonperishable items.
Rule the Afterschool Snack
Be
creative with your afterschool snacks. Get small dixie cups to serve
veggies and dips. Use our Superberries Aroniaberry Gummy Chews to
create fun snacks like fruit kabobs that deliver important antioxidants in
every bite.
