    Back to School Snack Ideas

    Back-to-school is in full swing over here at the Made with Happy House, how about your house?

    While we're still getting our routine down, the good news is that MWH Girl is absolutely loving her Kindergarten class. She is having so much fun and comes home happy and smiling every day. All you can ask for!

    After a full day of school, by the time she gets home she is so hungry. The first couple of days, I was running around trying to come up with an after-school snack for her. It didn't take but a few days to figure out that I needed to be prepared.

    Here are a group of fun and HAPPY After-School Snacks recipes that are sure to fill her hungry belly.
