Giveaway: Van’s Waffles & Plackers Flossers

I’m guessing that my family isn’t the only one that worked hard to get back into a routine when school started. It’s like a fresh start, and I’m trying to make the most of it. Van’s and Plackers have teamed up to help you with the new start that comes with the new school year.

If forming healthy habits is high on your list, I have the perfect giveaway for you! See if any of these are goals that you have:

  • Make breakfast a priority. Sure, we’d all like to cook a huge, hearty breakfast every day. But let’s face it… Mornings happen. When they do, one solution is to keep Van’s Natural Foods 8 Whole Grains Waffles on-hand. That way, the kids can still have a hot, nourishing breakfast that’s high in protein and whole grains.
  • Have happier trips to the dentist. If teeth are getting neglected in the morning rush, this is hard to achieve. Making sure the kiddos have time to brush is essential. Adding Plackers Kids flossers to the mix (with fun animal shapes and berry flavors!), you have a better chance at cleaner teeth.
  • Go to bed earlier. Who? Me? Yes!! Sleeping well (and long enough) contributes to better concentration and mood. I’ve found that unplugging 30 minutes before bedtime helps me wind down better.
  • Exercise. This one’s high on our list. We’ve found that when we move during the day, we sleep better and feel better overall. Instead of watching TV, we break out the Wii and exercise and entertain at the same time. Plus this is my favorite time of year for being outside. I love the cooler weather!

One Saving & Giving reader is going to win a prize pack to help achieve some of these goals. The prize pack includes:

  • A coupon for a free box of Van’s Whole Grain English Muffins

  3. I made a checklist for my 4 yr. old with pics. By the words; steps included breakfast/vitamins, brush teeth/hair and tidy bed.

  18. I’m trying to get in the habit of eating cereal with fresh fruit every other a.m. and a waffle (whole grain) the other days.

  21. I am progressing to become a mom who does not purchase package convenience foods, especially ones that have things in it you can’t pronounce. Organic and food in its basic form is what I am striving for to keep my family healthy
