Happy Fall! Its been awhile since I have been on here. Life has been pretty crazy since the girls started school. I am sure many parents can relate. Anyways, here we are, it’s October and we are in the full swing of school and activities. If your kids are anything like mine, you know after school snacks are a big deal for them and myself. Besides taste, these peanut butter energy balls are super easy to make and healthy.
