Gearing up for back to school? I know some states have already started, but we’re still counting down the days here in the DC area.

No matter how old your kids are, they come home from school hungry! It’s a good idea to give them protein snacks to keep them going until dinner is ready.

These String Cheese Pencils take a few minutes to make, and they’re fun to eat! These would be fun to serve for an afternoon playdate.
