The back to school season is in full swing! Children and teens are settling into their schedules. Bedtimes are being set and new routines are developing. Little by little, through trial and error, busy parents and students are discovering their new normal.
This week's #FoodFri chat is devoted to busy families everywhere. We want to help you avoid the "trial and error" and jump right into your new normal.
Join @MomsRising, @USDANutrition, @RachlWhite and me, @MsLatina for #FoodFri on Friday, September 11, 2015 between 1-2pm, Eastern.
We'll be chatting with other parents and sharing what's worked, what hasn't and how you can create a healthy environment for your child(ren) as we delve into the 2015-2016 school year!
