HINT launches kid-friendly Tetra boxes that help children drink more water

Erin Sluka

With a 10 year old who has ongoing constipation and digestion issues, drinking water is the number 1 thing he can do to lessen his symptoms. He is on a Miralax regimen and for that to work, water is imperative. The big problem is he hates drinking water. It is such a fight to get him to drink a healthy amount. I needed a solution that works to help children drink more water and HINT was my answer.

HINT water for kids comes in four fruit flavors, Watermelon, Cherry, Blackberry and Apple. Hydrate your thirsty kids with our refreshing fruit-flavored waters that contains no juice, sugar or sweeteners.

HINT kids waters are available at drinkhint.com, and soon at Costco and grocery and specialty stores nationwide. I also found it on Amazon. This is a long-awaited water for parents like me who struggle to get water down their kids with no other option but sugar juices!

We are having pizza and wings for dessert with Chocolate Pizza Company

Would your home go crazy if you were to tell them it’s pizza and wings for dessert? Anthony did and also had no clue what I was talking about until I showed him the treats that came from Chocolate Pizza Company. I thought this was a fun dessert combo, but they don’t only offer this chocolate pizza and peanut butter ‘wings’ combo.

Chocolate Pizza Company has chocolate pizzas for all seasons and gifting occasions. We have the Snowflake Chocolate Pizza and PB Wigs that come in a combo. There are so many combinations of toppings and even chocolate pizzas you can have message written on them.

Imagine the office when you walk into a meeting with chocolate pizza saying “Thank you” or winning the Boss gift on his/her birthday at work. The kids would love it at parties too!

With the Holidays coming, keep Chocolate Pizza Company in mind for seasonal ‘pizzas’.

Featured in Forbes Magazine, People Magazine and other national media, Ryan Novak’s inspirational story is at the heart of his business. He started with the company as a dishwasher at the age of 15 and by 21 years-old, Ryan was the owner of Chocolate Pizza Company. His vision was to transform a small-town chocolate shop into an emerging national brand. Today, as America’s premier maker of this unique gourmet chocolate specialty, Chocolate Pizza Company products can be found at thousands of retail locations across the country where they are gifts-of-choice for business and personal occasions.

The Chocolate Pizza Company PB Wings are a sweet and salty indulgence. potato chips covered in creamy peanut butter and drenched in rich milk or dark chocolate (dark chocolate available after Jan 3).

If you cannot locate a retailer near you that carries the Chocolate Pizza Company line, then head over to their website and order one today!

The Lovely Candy Company just launched a first-to-market Organic Candy

Candy! The common belief is that it is loaded with artificial ingredients, loads of sugars and unhealthy sweeteners that rot your body and teeth. However, they also told us once in a common belief that sugar MAKES our kids hyper and that was proven false. So what is the candy debate results?

Let’s just say that MOST candy is harmful. It can be fun in small doses, but too much leaves your body trying to digest and store a multitude of bad ingredients. So here is how you can eat your candy and feel a little less guilt about it too…..

Eat the candy in moderation and make sure it is made with ingredients such as the ones found in the Lovely Candy Company products of chocolate, gummy and hard candy sweets.

Lovely Candy products are free of high fructose corn syrup, gluten, trans fats, GMO’s and artificial colors and ingredients. The candies are also kosher. This makes a great snack choice to soothe that sweet tooth for you or the kids.
