Oh, Ari! You are still adorable 🥰

Ari loves his toothbrush from Dr. Wages’s office! So much so that he takes it to exercise class with him 😍. Then chases his sister with it, dual purpose! Keep it up, Ari...both the brushing and the little-brother antics!

Give your avocado toast new life! Avocados are a great source of healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. They are a solid pantry staple, because their shelf life is longer than most other fruits and veggies. Best of all, avocados pair well with a large variety of other foods, so you can mix-and-match with whatever is in your fridge to create well-balanced meals that the whole family is sure to love!
