The next fabulous giveaway for the Back To School Giveaway Bonanza is a Delicious one thanks to Kind Snacks!

Here’s what Kind has to say about their awesome products:

At KIND we craft delicious, healthful foods from wholesome all-natural ingredients you can see and pronounce.® We believe that food should never be processed to the point that you can no longer tell what it is! That’s why we use whole nuts and fruit, and bind them together with honey through a natural process that keeps them fresh, brings out their flavor, and achieves just the right amount of crunch

I’m excited to tell you about a great event coming up soon. The Great Kindness Challenge will take place on Saturday, August the 14th. Kids For Peace started the Great Kindness Challenge in order to help make the world a kinder, more compassionate place.

If you have a child this would be a great opportunity to be a good example to them, and urge them to do a kind act for the Great Kindness Challenge. If you’d like some ideas you can go check out the Great Kindness Challenge Checklist here.
