I can’t believe 2012 is almost over — this year flew by. As I mentioned in a previous post, it was a big year for my family: we moved from California to Washington and have been settling into our new life here. Washington has been good to us, and we have a lot to be thankful for.
With the year ending and a new one on the horizon, we’re talking about New Year’s resolutions — the goals we want to set and the habits we want to improve. Topping the list for many people is getting healthier: losing weight, exercising more, and eating better. It may sound cliché, but health matters to me. Watching my parents age and raising my own family has made me prioritize health and better eating habits. I do enjoy desserts and treats for the blog, but I try to practice portion control and balance.
My hope for you — my readers, friends, and family — is that we all take steps toward better health in 2013. Eat a little cleaner, move a little more, get outside, and spend more time with family and less time online (I’m talking to myself, too). I’d love to hear what resolutions you’re planning.
To help with healthier snacking (I’m a big grazer), I’ve partnered with NatureBox for a giveaway. One reader will win a NatureBox filled with five different healthy snacks. I’ve tried several of their items, like carrot chips, chipotle maple almonds, lemon-pucker pistachios, country ranch peas, dried pears, pistachio power clusters, wild blueberry flax granola, and my girls’ favorite so far: Masa Crisps.
If you haven’t heard of NatureBox, they send a selection of different snacks to your door each month for a subscription fee. I like the variety and the convenience of healthier snack options for the family.
The NatureBox Promise:
- No high fructose corn syrup
- No partially hydrogenated oils
- No trans fats
- No artificial sweeteners
- No artificial flavors
- No artificial colors
There will be one winner. If you’re eager to try NatureBox now, use promo code PISTACHIO for 25% off your first month’s month-to-month subscription. (Six-month subscriptions receive one month free; twelve-month subscriptions receive three months free.)
