What about getting them...SOMEHOW.. to eat healthy?! That's my resolution too. Not just my own kids, but anybody who will listen! You know, it is so, so imperative to get REAL food into your children as they are growing, and especially for Brain development. More so NOW because of all the rubbish food around. However, I know, I know...we have to make food apt and interesting!! Interested? Then check my Nutrition and Events page and E-mail your thoughts.
