Amusement Parks and Nutrisystem

Waiting in line at Valley Fair

Valley Fair, that was my challenge this past weekend. What is Valley Fair?

Unfortunately, if you feed them nothing but fruit and carrot sticks your child is likely to become very unpopular with their friends. It’s a tough catering job to balance, especially if you’re hosting it at home instead of a venue, but hopefully, some of the following suggestions will make it a little easier to host an ...
