Where Have We Been?

In case you haven't noticed, it's been a little quiet here at Grab Your Greens.  We're still here.  We took a little step back to enjoy having our children home for the summer.  To read some books.  Tend a garden.  Enjoy the beach, the pool, Disney.  To take a breather and slow down.  And to do some soul-searching.  Especially in regards to this itty bitty little blog venture of ours.

It's easy to get burnt out, even doing something you love.  To wonder if it matters, if it makes a difference.  It's easy to look at "fancy" blogs and start feeling sorry for our very humble 'home'.  And to see the corresponding Facebook pages, where there is lots of community response, and wonder what we're doing wrong.  It's easy to see the number of views of each blog post, as a direct correlation of our worth.  It's hard not to get discouraged when you feel you've been given this great gift, but don't have a clear vision as to how God wants you to use it.

Plant-Strong Kids, Week 1

We posted this on our Facebook page today, but it is really great information and is worthy of appearing on the blog... 

Engine 2 Diet is running a weekly Plant-Strong Kids series in July and August.  From the E2 website:

"Every week in July and August we will have an easy-to-print PDF for kids and parents! Each week we will have articles, games, tips for parents, challenges, recipes and more. At the end of the summer we will have a printable PDF certificate for kids who participated!"

If you're looking for a way to educate your kids about good food choices and get them more involved in the process, this is a great place to start!  Fabulous printables, challenges, etc.!

Plant-Strong Kids, Week 1 will take you to The Engine 2 Diet's blog, The Daily Beet, where you can learn about this great four week series.  From there, you can click on the link to download the printables, or simply click here for week 1 printables.

Let's be intentional about educating (& feeding) our kids well!
