I’ve partnered with Hormel Foods as part of the Hormel FoodsExtended Family Blogger Program. Throughout the year I’ll be receiving product, coupons, giveaways and promotions. However, no payment was given or expected for posting about the program, and as always, all opinions given here are fully my own.

This is my favorite time of year, well sometimes. Just depends on if the snow goes away. LOL! This year April has been very nice, plus Earth Day is in April. I love Earth day.

We celebrated by having a picnic and cleaning up the park and the streets around out house.

I used my new reusable bag, which I love for outing and picnics.

I love to picnic and my kids love to do it too. Our sandwiches were all Hormel’s Natural choice Turkey and Ham. I love that the packaging is made 100% from recycled materials. Our picnic was all Earth friendly, sandwiches were packed in reusable containers, we had reusable water bottles and recyclable juice boxes.

April 22nd marks the 43rd anniversary of the celebration of Earth Day! This year, the Earth Day Network announced that the main focus of Earth Day will be to help put a face to climate change. One of the easiest ways to help prevent climate change is through a commitment to minimizing waste and recycling as much as possible. In order to make Earth Day a success, it is essential that each and every person set environmental goals, contribute and do their part.

What efforts do you and your family make to try and minimize your carbon footprint? What is your favorite “eco-friendly” activity?
