“Spread a Little Sunshine” with Smucker’s Natural Fruit Spreads
“Spread a Little Sunshine” with Smucker’s Natural Fruit Spreads
We have a puppy and his name is Teddy. In fact, here he is:
Look at that face. Pretty stinkin' cute, right? Teddy helps us spread a little sunshine. Not only did he makes our lives much more fun, we take him out all of the time to places where kids are going to be so that they can play with him. He got to attend a special needs playgroup last week and he spent two hours playing with the kids. They loved it and requested him back for every playgroup. It was so cute to see the kids interacting with him.
Teddy is such a fun way to spread a little sunshine because studies have shown pets help people become happier, healthier and better adjusted. Plus he is a very social dog and he loves being loved by everyone around him.
Smucker's is all about spreading a little sunshine. We have been using Smucker's for as long as I can remember which made me very excited to try their Natural Fruit Spreads.

I can’t eat an English muffin without jelly on it. I am going to look for these the next time I go grocery shopping.
Ooh, I love adding a little spread to just about everything.. even my pancakes… ha! Tastes great!
I usually always make my own jams and preserves. But when it comes to needing a flavor I haven’t made like Red Tart, or that i’ve ran out of stock of my own; I always use Smuckers Naturals. I don’t like the ones full of preservatives or tons of sugar. The naturals are my favorite.
Mm! The creamy grape feta cream cheese dip sounds so yummy. What would you dip in it? Crackers? I think I’d probably just eat it with a spoon. 🙂
Teddy is such an adorable puppy!!! My husband and I are wanting one so badly. And these fruit spreads sound delicious!

Your puppy is so cute. I can definitely see how he could spread some sunshine! I love Smuckers. I’ll have to try the other varieties that I haven’t had yet.
What a cute little pooch! I love Smuckers – Strawberry is my family’s favorite!
Teddy is such a cute puppy! My family loves Smucker’s products, they’re the next best thing to homemade!
Aww. Teddy is adorable! He is just the cutest!
I love the squirt type bottles of jelly and jam. It makes it SO much easier and cleaner to spread on a sandwich. Those snack tips sound yummy!
Smuckers is the only brand my husband will eat. I get in trouble if I buy anything else lol
I love fruit spread on toast but I have never thought about using it on other food. I will have to find something to using more raspberry spread on…yummy!
I love Smuckers, so I’m really excited to see they’ve come out with an all natural line. Love it!
I have bought these for my kids before. i like that they do not have added dyes and harmful chemicals.
I have not seen these yet. They sound and look awesome.
My kids have been asking me to buy some jam or jelly. I am so glad Smuckers now has a more natural line.
Love those easy recipes. The Boston bib lettuce cups sound really tasty!
Oh, Teddy! What a cutie pie! He’s just adorable.
Awwww!!!!! That puppy is ADORABLE!!! So much love 🙂
We love strawberry Jam in our home. Great with peanut butter.
I love jelly on my english muffins. I really enjoy Smuckers natural line.
Love smuckers jelly and jams so being natural makes it even better. How good with biscuits and breads.
i’ve been buying this brand forever! i just won’t try anything else. i love the squeeze tubs for my toddler too so she can make her own sandwich.
The cream cheese on a cracker with a little spread on top would be a delicious snack. I have always used Smucker’s products.
