HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Our girls are attending a new school this year. We recently received a notice from the school saying that for the upcoming Valentine's Day Celebration, the kids were welcome to bring Valentine's cards, but absolutely NO CANDY!

Great! I thought this would be a great opportuntiy to provide our little friends with a healthy and delicious Valentine's Treat and help spread the word about THRIVE FOR KIDS. They turned out so cute. The girls helped put it all together. It was supper easy.

Next time you are looking for ideas you should try Thrive as a treat. Enjoy!
