I know that I am trying so hard to help my children eat better, as I try myself to do the same. I told a friend just tonight that I think the best food victory I had this weekend was actually when my 6-year old tried romaine lettuce AND cantaloupe. This is HUGE, as she is a self-termed "meatatarian" -- and eats so few vegetables. We shopped as a family after church -- buying mostly fruits and vegetables and some chicken to grill. I had my 6-yo make some salad dressing -- how simple and common the idea -- and sure enough, she wanted to try some lettuce to go with the awesome dressing she made. Cutting up the melon made it look more accessible, I guess. I asked her at dinner, "You're bored with mac-n-cheese, aren't you?" and she rolled her eyes like "Oh, you have NO idea!" I vow that you will NOT see us at the drive in or take out! (Actually, you really won't, as we live in Ohio! But you know what I mean!) I really hope to start and keep up with a plan so similar to yours. I may have to print the picture of your healthy snack tray -- and post it as inspiration. That is what you are, an inspiration!

As a family we are guilty of taking the easy option far too often as well. In fact its down right embarrassing! So as one mum to another I wish you and your family well with this. :) Hi Tara,
