Wellness Wednesdays!


There are a total of 8 VEGETARIANS associated with us here at Peaches Happy Daycare, we just want to know: What's your favorite way to "Go Veg?!"

Miss Rozelle has been a vegetarian for almost 7 years now! What's some of her favorite "Go Veg" things to do? :

-Always shop local! Local Farmers Markets are a great way to try new foods!

-Menu planning will save your life! No one likes to get home from work and not know what's for dinner. I have a chalkboard in my kitchen and list a simple menu for the week every Sunday, then go shopping shortly after writing the list. I also cook extras so there will be something yummy for lunch the next day!

-PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD! I always like to "get bored" in the kitchen, this allows me to be creative with what I have in the pantry.

-I promote ALL animal safety by donating to ASPCA, ARF, and local humane societys, & I also hand out Peta2 flyers to dog owners about the dangers of leaving your dog in the car. Would you leave your child in the car on a hot day? NEVER! So why leave your pets in there? No one wants to be in a hot car wearing a sweater!

On your next trip to the grocery store or farmers market, let your child pick out a new fruit or vegetable, and let yourself (and your kids!) get creative in the kitchen!

What We Learned In June!


Here are some of the things your children said when asked "What did you learn about Transportation this month?"

-Sailboats use sails
-Lightning McQueen is a racecar and he drives on a track
-Some trucks carry dirt, some carry mail, and some carry food
-You get gas at the gas station and spray your car with water
-Airplanes need to turn on wheels so they can fly up
-We can travel by: walking, running, crawling on the ground, hopping like a bunny, jumping and spinning!
