Physical activity, and eating healthy is something that is important to my family. It’s important to eat healthy foods, not over eat, and get up and move. Which is why I am excited to share this sponsored post about Together Counts and Girl Scouts! All opinions are my own, but I think you’ll be excited to learn about Together Counts and Girls Scouts of the USA Partnership girls are learning how to live a healthy lifestyle.
Being have always loved Girl Scouts, when I was little girl I loved scouting, and now as a mom I get to share that with my girls. Its great, I had fun, and now my children are not only having fun, but learning a lot. As an adult it’s fun to interact with the kids, teaching them to be achieving, and watching learn and grown. There’s nothing like being part of a child’s life, helping them learn the importance of physical activity, eating right, and how to live a healthy lifestyle.
