One of the best ways to spend time together as a family is by sharing kindness with each other and the world! I pulled together some fun ways to share kindness as a family AND share kindness with your family.
Cuties is hosting #100daysofsunshine – which inspired me to find 100 ways to share kindness as our way to spread sunshine through the world, no matter what season it is! Cuties are back in store and ready to eat, and kid-friendly!
We’ve always loved enjoying Cuties as a family. They are so easy to peel, that the kids can do it themselves which makes snack time a lot easier on everyone! Especially when they were “independent” little toddlers who insisted on doing everything by themselves. Cuties are also seedless which makes life a lot easier on this mama too!
Our favorite part though? It has to be letting the kids become “Cuties correspondents” to share Kindness and Cuties with the world! We’ve been so inspired by their #100daysofsunshine that it just made sense to let the kids take that message into the world with them!
