Not so happy meal

I'm not a fan of fast food. I'm not a complete health nut, I've just never liked it. My kids are used to eating fairly healthy and usually only get fast food if we're traveling. Now, my husband loves his hamburgers! So, since I was not going to be home for dinner one night, he brought home a special treat for the kids! Happy Meals! They were of … [Read more...]



How to get your child to eat more veggies..

Throw a spontaneous party! The kids were making a fort in the living room and covered the floor with colorful towels. It made me think of a fiesta! So I brought out the veggies and dip!

Natural Parent Guide
I miss the days when the kids would freely play ou I miss the days when the kids would freely play outdoors. Rocks & streams, sticks & flowers, their toys of choice. They're older now and drawn and to technology. They still have a love of nature, but it takes a push to get them to go outside and their play is different now. How do you get your big kids or #teens outdoors? ⁠
