Happy Meal Anyone?

I saw this on a friend's blog and had to share. For all the gross details and the full article, go HERE.




I have been in "healthier food intake" mode lately. It began by accident and stuck. All we eat at my house are fruits, veggies, whole wheat bread, real cheese, healthy cereal, etc. I should be skinny by now...Oh wait, exercise...well it's a start!

My kids don't know what fast food is or that stores sell cookies and crackers and sugar cereals.

Bostyn isn't a picky eater anymore and sleeps way better at night. Her night terrors are almost non-existent. I have no idea if cutting sugar out of her diet is the reason, but it's the only thing I have changed. It's pretty great.

I feel better at the end of the day knowing that I filled my kids with real, natural food and not crappy crap.

I am the only one who's going to teach them good eating habits-now is the time.

That whole "Word of Wisdom" thing might be the right idea. :)

My kids won't be eating a Happy Meal while I'm around.

My Formal Living and Dining Room




Good bye fancy, unused room. Hello preschool /playroom! I miss my pretty, kids can't touch front room, but this one sure gets used more :)

A New Routine


Bostyn started preschool...only because I am the teacher :) This means she will get 3 years of preschool before she starts kindergarten. A little much? For sure.

I was worried about how she would do since I am one of the teachers and it is in our home, but she is doing fantastic! She really enjoys it! I love teaching too. Preschool is so fun. Doing full time daycare as well as teaching a preschool class might be the death of me, but I really enjoy being so busy. The TV never gets turned on and the kids have fun playing and doing activities all day. Bostyn even started taking a nap everyday again. A consistent schedule is a wonderful thing. I have 5-7 napping toddlers in my home at the same time, everyday. Imagine that for a moment...pretty awesome.
