Frigidaire and Jennifer Garner are asking America to rethink snacking. In our house, snack-time is the best time of day. My sons get to “choose” what they want… granola bars, apple slices, Cheerios or raisins. It’s the only time throughout the day when they get to choose what they want to eat. My sons aren’t the easiest eaters… so they love feeling like they’re making decisions when it’s snack-time (I love making their snacks healthy choices!). Frigidaire and Jennifer Garner are stressing that good snacks can provide energy boosts and good nutrition. We’ve done away with cookies and chips in our house (for the most part).

Frigidaire has launched “Make Time for Snack Time” with Jennifer – a virtual campaign designed specifically to get kids snacking smart. As a mom, I love it! I love anything that is going to encourage and inspire healthy eating… especially in today’s world. Starting yesterday (April 30th) Frigidaire will donate $1 to support Save the Children for everyone who heads over to Frigidaire.com and stops the clock for snack-time. Save the Children is an organization that creates lasting change for children in need in the America and through out the world.

I stopped the clock and landed on the TOMATO (I love tomatoes!)…

And then the cool thing is… you’re not only shown the benefits and importance of including tomatoes into your family dishes, you’re shown recipes from the uber-talented and amazing, Lucinda Scala Quinn.

To kick off this amazing campaign, Frigidaire and Jennifer Garner hosted an event yesterday in New York City and I was invited, along with my family. I brought my older sons – William and Alexander – and we had an absolute BLAST! I got to hang out with some of my favorite mom blogging friends…

I got to watch my sons laugh, dance, hang out and have so much fun with the kids and the amazing magician, Max!

And we got to HANG OUT WITH JENNIFER GARNER!! She was beyond kind and generous and gracious with her time. She went over to every family, posed for photos and truly made it a special, special day!

Thank you so much Frigidaire for a GREAT DAY!
