I'm home from work today. I'm not sick nor are any of my children. In fact, I've never felt healthier. There isn't a weather disaster. In fact, it is an unseasonably warm, sunny fall day. I'm not so stressed and overwhelmed that I need a mental health day. In fact, I'm quite content; school's going … [Read more...]

Toddler Diet
Getting my kid to eat is probably one of the most frustrating aspects of parenting for me. It's not really getting him to eat. It's getting him to eat what I want him to eat.

I am primarily responsible for the food in our household. I do most … [Read more...]
The We Day Effect
