Inspired Story Telling

Back to school time this year is more significant than ever, because not only is my son going into first grade…this year, his little brother is going to school with him. Both boys will be in school, and I’ll be spending my days alone for the first time in five years…not sure how I feel about that yet!

The back to school excitement is already building up, with both picking out school bags and school supplies featuring their favorite characters, and talking about seeing their friends and teachers again. As the mom, I’m planning too, and focusing on making the rest of summer fun while getting them ready to go back to school.

My sons are both very active, and very creative. For me, seeing my boys using their imaginations during pretend play, their creativity, just being their silly selves, makes me incredibly proud. They need to be nourished with wholesome food to keep their minds sharp and bodies strong, so we’ve been enjoying Horizon Snacks throughout the day. I want to nurture them with the best foods and snacks.

Horizon Snacks are really delicious, are made with organic ingredients, and include important vitamins for growing boys. They also have fun shapes…the story telling kind. So while we munched on Horizon Snack Cheddar Crackers with cow faces, made with real Horizon Organic cheese, my sons told me stories about farm animals, starring Cheddar the Cow.

And while we ate Horizon Snack Cinnamon Grahams made with whole grains, featuring leaping cows and little graham cracker planet Earths, they made up tall tales about cows in space flying around, and acted them out.

Sharing Horizon snacks together is also a chance to teach my children about proper eating too…they know what words like organic mean, and that mama wants them to eat foods with vitamins but not a lot of sugar.

Because Horizon Snacks are both delicious and wholesome, I’m happy to put them in my children’s lunch boxes. We already drink Horizon Organic milk and chocolate milk at home, and now that we know about Horizon snacks, we are filling our snack pantry with those too. This fall, their lunch boxes will have both Horizon Organic milk and Horizon snacks to help round out a nutritious lunch meal.
