I was trying to decide why I most admired you. The list was long, but I love that you are always learning, that you are always growing, and that you stretch your comfort zone.

I’m trying to be more like you Cassie.

Thank you for being my friend.

Your child’s first and favorite food memory will be at my house, when I gave him his first red popsicle. And you yelled at me for doing it :)

This is a nice reminder. I certainly love a good chicken McNugget, and I also remember almost chipping teeth on the rock-hard-frozen M&Ms in blizzards… But…
I want to be healthy and strong and I want any kids I may have someday to be healthy and strong. What better gift can you give them?
Enjoy your weekend!

First of all, I love your new look!

I have to say not only is it better for our children to eat well, but it FEELS good as a Mom. I feel better on the inside when I know they’ve eaten what is best for them. I learned early on how food can heal, how diet affects so many parts of our bodies (not just making us fat or skinny), even our BRAIN.

If you have a picky eater, make it fun. Often I’ll buy new things at the store or market that they’ve never tried and we’ll all taste it together. They are allowed to not like it, as long as they try it at least once.

I think you’re surrounded by a lot of smart healthy Moms and it’s kind of “in” these days- it can take some extra prep time to be able to eat healthy on the go or in a busy lifestyle, but it’s totally do-able. And you just might find that it makes you feel really good in the process. :)

Love you-
Steph

I recommend Food Rules by Michael Pollan as a good starting point for making changes in your eating habits. The rules are simple, the book short. I often blog about food and food issues. Stop by sometime.

Absolutely! I’m still trying to learn these lessons myself! I don’t have kids {hopefully someday} but I can imagine this is a burdensome topic for parents. It’s really, really important!
