June is National Fruit and Vegetables Month
Did you know that June is National Fruit & Vegetables Month? I didn’t until recently, and I think June is the perfect time to celebrate fruits and vegetables. Summer yields a delicious variety of fresh produce. Here are some of the fruits and vegetables that are in season now: Fruit: Peaches, Plums, nectarines, cherries, blackberries, strawberries, tomatoes, passion fruit, melon, and apricots. Vegetables: Radishes, beets, cucumbers, carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, corn, garlic, and rhubarb. What a wonderful assortment of fruits and veggies!

Tips for a Summer Cold
This past February the entire family got that horrible flu that was going around the country. I am not sure who brought it home but I’d put my money on my husband bringing it home since he was the first one down, then me and next our daughter. We were all so sick and hadn’t felt that horrible in literally years. I remember looking over at my husband on the couch and seeing he had fallen asleep watching a movie sitting up.

The time is now and after 13 years, I am so excited to say that FINDING DORY is now playing in theatres everywhere! This is one of Pixar’s best films and I promise the whole family will love this movie!

Yes, go to your library and get books. Join some summer reading programs. And encourage children to read for at least 20 minutes a day on their own. But here are a few other ways to keep their brains in business so they are ready for…
