How is your family getting back into the school routine? I know around here, I love the routine that school brings. There is no lounging in pajamas all day, no “whoops, I forgot lunch” and no question about who is to be where when. Granted, I love summer. I love the lazy days and afternoons by the pool. I just am not that productive. Like at all.
I also think it’s harder to get my kids all the components they need. From exercise, to healthy foods, it’s all a little thrown off when we’re just going with the flow. I could be having a cup of coffee on the playroom floor and before I barely blink, it’s nap time. We didn’t get outside, or get dressed. I know when Cooper is in school, he’s on the playground, going to gym and eating the healthy lunch I packed at the unreasonable hour of 6am.
In the midst of all the summer travel, we haven’t been that awesome about our eating, either. Options are limited and I can’t whip up the picnic that is a guaranteed way to get my kids eating veggie sticks. One healthy step we haven’t been missing, is taking vitamins. My kids get up and ask for them. My boys love L’il Critters™ Gummy Vites™ Complete. They taste great!
I also have been taking the vitafusion™ MultiVites PLUS Hair, Skin & Nails Support*. I have a horrific gag reflex and getting a gummy down is actually enjoyable instead of sheer torture!
L’il Critters™ and Vitafusion™ both make nutrition taste good by combining the power of vitamins with a great tasting gummy. I love that there are no hard to swallow tablets or capsules, no water needed and no complaints…and that’s from me and the kids! vitafusion™ has several different varieties of vitamins, minerals and other dietary supplements to meet your health needs through every stage of life. They’re all made with natural flavors and made in the USA.
I’m excited to be getting back on track with our schedule, but am really happy with the fact that even when our eating and exercise wasn’t stellar this summer, our vitamins were!
L’il Critters™ gummy vitamins are available at club stores, mass merchandisers, and drug and grocery stores nationwide including: Costco, Walmart, Target and Walgreens. More information and can be found here.

I have a 4 year-old daughter and I keep her healthy by feeding her a well-balanced diet and making sure she gets daily exercise. If we're having an off day and not eating well I make sure she takes a multivitamin.

i love vita fusion! i take their prenatals, much better than pill version anything!
we stay healthy with good on the go options like granola bars and things to snack on in the car vs running through a fast food place – also, shakeology! i love the quick 2 minutes it takes for my healthiest meal of the day just to whip it up in the blender. sure beats cooking over the stove for 30+ minutes some days!
