Between running
a household and looking after the kids, there’s no doubt that motherhood is more than a full-time job – and that’s
not even counting any additional work you might be doing outside of family
life. Even when it’s something you love, it can keep you busy enough that
juggling everything can be tricky to manage!
With all of that
in mind, who has the time to buy locally-grown, ethically-produced food, cook
meals from scratch and provide their
kids with healthy snacks?
The Dig In Challenge is here to
help you out! As a member of momstown, you already know the value of joining a
community for support. The Dig In Challenge is just like that, with a focus on
healthy, local, sustainable, and fair food.
Eating healthy
doesn’t have to be a huge hassle. There are so many ways to fit it into your
busy lifestyle, regardless of whether it’s summertime or back-to-school season. Just some of the things you can do
include:
·
Visiting www.DigInManitoba.ca to find healthy,
local recipes (plus kid-friendly snacks!), and to share some of your own
·
Getting your kids involved with
having fun with food – start them off at an early age by taking them to the
farmers’ market or put together a quick, easy meal with them as your special
helper
·
Picking local fruit with the
whole family through www.FruitShare.ca
·
Playing Heifer games and activities with your children to learn about the importance of fair food
·
Joining the Dig In Challenge (www.DigInManitoba.ca/challenge)
to participate in a community of families eager to learn about healthy, local
food – it’s free to join, and you’ll get to attend food skill workshops and
might even win a prize!

season.
