Non-candy Easter Egg Hunt

Easter is that time of the year again. Kids are looking forward not only to decorate the Easter eggs, but also to participate in the fun activities that take place all over the country.

The Easter Egg hunt is a very fun activity that keep kids entertained. In previous years the eggs were filled with candy and sweets. But as the rates of childhood obesity and other diseases associated with obesity increases, there are more parents, teachers and educators that want to provide different options instead of the candy.

Here are some ideas of things you can use to fill up the eggs instead of candy.
Picture
  • Erasers
  • Character Band-Aids
  • Socks
  • Stickers
  • Temporary tattoos 
  • Mini Bubbles
  • Bouncy Balls
Other things you can use for your Easter Baskets are
  • Play-doh
  • Crayons
  • Chalk
  • Pencils
  • Coloring books
Yes, they might still get some candy, but at least there is plenty of healthy options available. 
What are you going to be putting on your kids baskets this year?

Week 5 of the #Mamavation #IheartOmron ambassador program

This week I have been so busy. My son's birthday party, work, pretty much life. I was proud at the party I did not have cake and eat the salad I had made. The party was really fun. My son was sick but he still enjoyed it. 
The cool thing about the party is that it was full of running and physical activity and not only the kids but the parents participating. Talk about changing our live style.
Happy to tell you that this week I lost 3.8 pounds for a total of 28.5 since starting the challenge.
I want to remind you about the twitter party where you can win the awesome tools that I got to help me with this challenge
