Hey KKC Peeps!

It’s time for some real talk.

We put Goldfish and CheezIts in our kids lunches allll the time.

Why?

Because they are the “snacks that smile back” AND they are “made with real cheese”!

But really, they are a “baked” alternative to all of the greasy potato chips out there, so why not right?

Well, actually, they aren’t all that great for you. They have some additives that aren’t the best for your body. 

This week on KKC TV, we will talk about why these two snacks aren’t the best source of carbs, and some healthy (and still simple!) alternatives you can pack in the kiddos lunches.

Before you go, let us know your favorite whole grain snack you will put in your kids lunches!

Do you remember a time when you had a bad day? All you wanted to do was be sad or angry, but then someone smiled at you or made you laugh.

After that, how could you possibly stay in a bad mood, right?

That person that cheered you up gave you a wonderful gift: a random act of kindness.

The great news is that you can change someones whole day in the exact same way!

A random act of kindness is small, but a very powerful thing. 

So this week in KKC TV we will talk about how YOU can take part in this powerful movement. We will talk about:
