Grandma’s are the best, wouldn’t you agree?! They know just how to make everything seem so special and spoil you with lots of love. I have lots of fond memories about my grandma’s from my childhood, but recently there is one particular memory that stands out. It all started when I decided to start giving my kids a multi-vitamin at breakfast.
I remember visiting my grandma and there always being a special spread at breakfast. She was a morning person and always the first one up. By the time you stumbled out of bed everything was perfect and ready for you to enjoy. I can still see the avocado green dining table with each place lovingly set with special glasses, fun placemats and a healthy breakfast to start the day off right. And she always made you take your vitamins, which of course as kids we loved because she bought the fun character shaped vitamins that tasted great too!
Grandma’s know best, and now that I’m a mom I’m channeling the wisdom of my grandma who always made sure we started the day off right with a healthy and delicious breakfast. I recently whipped up a batch of Grandma’s Granola, set the table with some of her vintage placemats and glasses and we’ve been enjoying a special “just like grandma made” breakfast. To my kids delight they also get to enjoy the new Gummy Vitamins in Disney Shapes from NatureSmart, which makes everyone happy. The kids love having “gummies” with their breakfast and I feel great providing a multi-vitamin that combined with our active lifestyle and nutritious meals can help my kids growth and development*.
Packed with fun in every bottle the Gummy Vitamins in Disney Shapes and Gummy Vitamins in Marvel Shapes are great for the whole family, and I know my grandma would be proud of me making sure my kids start the morning off right with a healthy breakfast. Plus you can visit NatureSmart Vitamins for lots of healthy tips, vitamin facts and fun, including a Healthy Habits Checklist, to encourage your kids to develop good healthy habits from eating their veggies, getting plenty of active play to settling down for a good nights sleep.
Don’t forget to save Grandma’s Granola recipe, put out some pretty placemats and give the kids Gummy Vitamins in Disney Shapes and Gummy Vitamins in Marvel Shapes for a breakfast to remember!
