Our Friends at Healthy Youth Revolution ( a project of Pillars of Health) are sharing their Family Fun Days with the community! This Saturday from 10-12 we'll be hanging out with them at the Petersburg Family YMCA, and we'd love for you to join us! Come play, learn and munch on some healthy snacks! We look forward to seeing you! If you're interested in coming out to play or have any questions, please send us an email at POHVirginia@gmail.com. #fun #food #play #eat #health

Caldwell Pediatrics strives to be a resource for our patient families. We've recently updated our website to help families get inspired with food ideas and motivated to eat healthy at home. Clicking the "Feed Your Fam" button at the top of any page on our website will take you to breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. Each week, a different link will be attached to each option, hopefully inspiring you to try something new in your home! #food #heath #eat #eal #family #cook #

Sweet Frozen Treats...No Junk! This is one of my favorite treats, and my kids think they're fantastic! The kids can help make them, so making them can be a fun family activity. 5 medium ripe bananas 1 tbsp. all natural creamy peanut butter 2 oz. vanilla yogurt Peel one banana and mash it with the peanut butter and yogurt. Set aside. Peel the other four bananas. Slice into half-inch thick slices. Smear the banana, peanut butter, and yogurt mixture on half the banana slices

Summer has been in full swing for a bit now and it's amazing how quickly the pantry and refrigerator empties when the kids are home more. It seems like the grocery bill gets bigger even if the kids are off at camp or Grandma's for a week. Here are a few healthy and realistic ways to keep up with the fuel needs of those constantly running bodies. Stop buying drinks. Yeah...I said it! Your tap water is yucky? Mine too.
