This top 10 is for the kids! Our favorite things for family right now:
1. Buddy Fruit pouches are nutritious, delicious, and so fun for kids (of all ages) to eat! Available locally at Chick-fil-A and Walmart.
2. Fun for all ages – this awesome Rainbow Shower Head caught our attention on Amazon!
3. With the weather getting warmer every day, we’re ready for some outdoor fun. Pick up Chalk City, and let your kids use their imaginations to create cities, raceways and obstacle courses in your driveway with sidewalk chalk. Available locally at Et Cetera.
4. Are you re-decorating your kiddos room? Hang one of these fun Cardboard Safari animals! You could even spray paint it for a fun pop of color. Available locally in various shapes and sizes at Gray is Grey. Other fun ideas for the walls: removable wallpaper from Wallcandy Arts or Peel & Place wall decals from Oopsy Daisy.
5. Crayon Candy Necklace - This fun necklace is adorable and just like the candy baubles we used to wear, but much less sugar and more creativity involved. Great in an Easter basket or as a party favor at your next fête!

6. Krispy Kale – Get your kids to love their dark, leafy greens by baking some of this: coat 1-2 inch pieces of kale in olive oil and season with salt and pepper, then bake at 350 degrees until crispy. Melt in your mouth!
7. A few great Apps for kids – For the little ones, Sound Shaker and others by Tickle Tap Apps. A brand new app – Lume was a finalist for excellence in visual arts and is an exciting illuminated puzzle adventure. For the older set, this new SAT Vocab – Mindsnacks is a fun way to challenge your vocabulary commonly tested on the SAT!
