There are fruit snacks and then there are CHUM Fruit Bites. They are like fruit snacks in that they are fruit-flavored but unlike the fruit snacks you know because they are ONLY fruit. Also, despite the fun colors and animal designs they are not just for kids because I can’t get enough of these myself. I love these as a mid-day working snack.
I feel like I should tell you all about these CHUM fruit bites so you know what they are made of but the ingredient lists are literally just fruits. That’s it! 100% wild without the fake stuff!
I can tell you that when you buy CHUM Fruit Bites you are helping them make a difference. They donate 15% profits to Wild Aid, protecting wildlife.
You can find these REAL fruit bites online at the CHUM Fruit Bites shop and on Amazon. Right now they are having a #StaySafe sale and shipping is free on their site!
The amount of plastic that reaches our oceans each year is hazardous. Shore Buddies does a few things to help the plastic footprint left behind. They donate $1 from every purchase to non-profits that share our vision to save marine life and keep plastics out of the oceans.
They also make adorable plush with animal sounds from recycled plastic bottles. It takes 6 plastic bottles to make 1 complete Shore Buddies plush. The plastic is sorted, melted and turned into plastic flakes for the stuffing and yarn for the outside.
Meet Finn! He is my Shore Buddy. Finn is a dolphin who’s arch enemy are plastic straws. He worries about how they don’t biodegrade and many of them ending up in Our Oceans. I also have this Straw Buddy Stainless Steel Straw set. These are reusable straws that are ocean and eco-friendly.

Comment: I received a package from Bleuet for this post. Thank you to Bleuet for partnering with Paenting Healthy
We all remember the pressures of growing up, experiencing puberty and constantly comparing ourselves to others. Sadly, tweens and teens do that especially as kids hit puberty and experience change sooner than others or later than most. How we talk to our tweens (boys and girls) through puberty is important. If we feel awkward so will they. If we avoid the topic they may get the wrong information elsewhere from others.
Finding tools, advice, books and videos help tremendously. Then there are brands like Bleuetwho know how to help us through the ‘firsts’ with our tweens such as their first bra. Bleuet knows that girls bodies are unique. Their apparel should give them both comfort & confidence and they offer sizes for all girls. Now they can feel good in a bra that works with their bodies = confidence!
Each bra comes packaged with beautiful colors and extra touches. But it’s in the bra itself and you have to feel it to know its comfort. I immediately wanted one for my adult self. The material of this Bleum Bra for everyday wear is made of 90% Polyester / 10% Spandex and so soft and double-lined for smooth coverage.
For your girls first bra there is the Bleum First Bra. The sizes start at 7/8 up to size 18. When she starts to bud and is looking for self-confidence in her changing body, it’s time for a Bleuet First Bra.
Double-lined for smooth coverage
Reversible: two colors in each bra!
Adjustable straps for the perfect fit
Minimal seams and tag free for comfort
Performance, moisture-wicking fabric
Ultra-soft and stretches to fit her growing body
Because we need to get to know and feel confident in our bodies there may be trial and error in finding the best fit for her body so Bleuet offers free returns and exchanges. You will find that they want to stay in this all day. It is minimally stitched and no tags for comfort for that reason.
Aside from finding the best bra for your daughter, Bleuet offers Parenting Resources for you both. Their blog, Blueprint is for her also. If you are ready to take her bra shopping, take her to Bluet online and she will love all the organized information and images to guide her into shopping for her first bra and you get that topic help you need.
I also love this book, Love Your Body: A Self Love Book for Girls. We need all the tools we can get to make sure they become confident in their bodies and with the subject of change and growth.
Do you shop GOODWILL for a good cause? We want to hear about it!
Pam Nelson, a Librarian at Pacific Christian Academy in Federal Way, Wa does! Here is her story:
Pam turned an old closet and just 1,900 books into a full library with over 8,000 books. When the school had to let go their Librarian years back due to budget cuts, the kids lost their reading space. Pam took to scouring Goodwill on weekends to find new books that would revive the space and give the kids a library space again.
Goodwill’s Olympics & Rainier Region annual “Bring Good Home” donation of $500 for her good will will allow Nelson to purchase up to 1,000 more books for her library.
I have partnered with Goodwill of the Olympics & Rainier Region to offer ONE OF YOU a $50 Goodwill Gift Card if you have a do-good story of why you head to Goodwill. Maybe someone you know shops Goodwill for good deeds? You can nominate them here.
Not only does the winning story receive the $50 Goodwill Gift Card so you can further your good deeds, but you also are recognized by Goodwill and are a semi-finalist for the yearly Bring Good Home 2020 award! So share your story by entering via the giveaway widget below. Open to ages 18+ and Western Wa. State residents!
“In exchange for the $50 gift card, Goodwill of the Olympics & Rainier Region Thrift Store Gift Card prize, winner agrees to let Goodwill share their story to encourage others and agrees to be a semi-finalist in the major annual award to be awarded (as we did with librarian Pam Nelson) at the end of 2020. Award will fit the winner’s story such as what we did with giving the librarian an additional $1,000 books.”
