Living well with diabetes involves more than simply watching your sugar. Understanding your medications, nutrition, and daily habits can help you take a more active role in managing your health.

In Week 2 of our Choose Your Path to Better Health series, we’ll explore the connection between diabetes, medication, and nutrition. We’ll discuss commonly prescribed medications such as Metformin, why they are used, and possible gastrointestinal (GI) side effects.

We’ll also talk about the role nutrition plays in blood sugar management and practical choices you can make when planning meals and developing healthier everyday habits.

Whether you are managing diabetes yourself or helping care for someone who is, this class is designed to provide useful, easy-to-understand information and questions you can take back to your healthcare team.

Your health. Your journey. Your path.

Monster Mash!!!

Get ready for a spooktacular night of cookies, music, movement, and family fun at Nancy’s Urban Tower Farm!

Monster Mash is a family-friendly Halloween experience designed especially with kids in mind—but grown-ups are part of the fun too! This is a shared family event, not a drop-off class, so every child must attend with an adult.

This special event is presented in collaboration with Busy B’s Bakery LLC and Sully’s DJ Entertainment, bringing together hands-on creativity, music, and family fun for one unforgettable evening.

We’ll start by creating together as Monica from Busy B’s Bakery LLC leads the kids through decorating three Halloween-themed cookies. The decorating portion will be fun, simple, and fully guided, making it perfect for younger decorators and families who want to enjoy the experience together.

Then it’s time to play together!Sully’s DJ Entertainment will keep the party moving with a clean, family-friendly playlist along with interactive activities throughout the evening. Expect plenty of fun with favorites like Freeze Dance, Limbo, Follow-the-Leader, parent-and-child challenges, kids-versus-grown-ups dance-offs, and group dances. The focus is on participation, laughter, and making memories together.

Each child will also receive a Monster Mash Activity Passport to complete throughout the evening. Finish the activities and earn a small prize such as a glow bracelet, themed sticker, or other Halloween treat.

Need a break from all the dancing? Stop by our Chill & Color Corner for coloring and a quieter activity. Families can also visit our festive selfie area for a fun photo together.

Simple refreshments, including a drink and snack, will be provided.

Children will head home with their decorated cookies, completed activities, and plenty of fun memories from a night spent creating, playing, and celebrating together.

Costumes are welcome but not required—come dressed up or simply come ready to have fun!

Please remember: every child must be accompanied by an adult for the entire event.

Family Ticket $75 (Includes 1 participating child and up to 2 adults event admission, one 3 cookie decorating kit)

Have you ever reached for something sweet, salty, or comforting when you weren’t really hungry? Stress and emotions can have a powerful influence on our eating habits.

In the final class of our Choose Your Path to Better Health series, we’ll explore the connection between stress, emotional eating, nutrition, and overall well-being.

We’ll talk about why stress can trigger cravings and overeating, how to recognize the difference between physical hunger and stress eating, and simple ways to respond to stressful situations without automatically turning to food.

Most importantly, we’ll discuss practical, healthier ways to manage everyday stress and build habits that support both your physical and emotional well-being.

Better health isn’t about being perfect. It’s about recognizing your habits, understanding your choices, and finding a path that works for you.

Your health. Your journey. Your path.
