For those of you coming to the site for the first time from A Better Bag of Groceries welcome!
As a Mom of 2 I created this blog to help empower others, as well as myself to focus on the positive, spread love, and create happiness. It is a wonderful gift we all carry inside of us; sometimes we just need a little help living joy from the inside out. Happiness is contagious and it is my hope you will catch some of it here J

For current GLCH readers, today the lovely Melissa from A Better Bag of Groceries gave me the opportunity to do a guest post on her site.
The post is about grocery shopping with the help of NuVal - a nutritional scoring system that rates food on a scale of 1 to 100, based on nutrition. I believe NuVal is a great way to educate and motivate individuals and families to make better food choices, and I’d love to see it grow. A lot of the time we have good intentions but are not necessarily aware of the nutritional quality of the foods we buy. Other times that visible number might be just the motivation we need to pick one food over another.
Current GLCH I think you will get a chuckle reading the post, and fellow parents out there may even feel I took some of the words right out of their heads when it comes to grocery shopping with children.

Do any of the NuVal scores surprise you?
