This Bar Saves Lives, the makers of 3 yummy non-GMO snack bars, just launched at Sprouts markets nationwide and I felt compelled to write about these bars after learning about their company with a cause.
Did you have any idea severe acute malnutrition claims the lives of upwards of 2.6 million children a year; or one child every 12 seconds? Did that just give you the chills?
Did you know that children and adolescents are particularly vulnerable to the harmful effects of UV radiation?
Excessive sun exposure in children is likely to contribute to skin cancer later in life. Did you know that one bad blistering sunburn in childhood or adolescence can actually double the chance of developing melanoma later in life? Scary.
The mechanisms are not totally clear, but some think that the skin is more susceptible to the harmful effects of UV radiation during childhood. That’s why I am taking NO chances with my children, especially since melanoma runs in my family.
And when choosing a sunscreen for my kids (and myself), opting for one that is chemical-free is really important, which is why I am very happy to share Patrick’s Sunscreen with you.

We did this fun (easy) charity project last year with my then 4 1/2 year old daughter Emma and I wanted to share because it was such a sweet lesson for kids on giving back.
As many of you already know, in 2011, I organized a team through my blog to participate in the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation Run / Walk called Team Tiny Oranges. I signed both my daughters up for the 1K Kids’ Fun Run, so they each had a personal fundraising page for our team.
For Emma’s fun-draising I thought it would be meaningful to find a way for her to get involved so we held a donut sale called “Emma’s Sweet Shop” at our bi-annual block yard sale.
In the end she raised over $258 of which we were able to donate 100% to the PCRF to help kids with cancer!
By the way, I JUST started Team Tiny Oranges 2012 to participate in the PCRF event this year on May 6th, 2012 so I would LOVE it if you and your families could join us and get involved!
