I love finding things my kids like that happen to be good for them (or me) too, they make my life easier as a mom! Shane usually eats fruit begrudgingly, but he discovered cuties this year and happily ate one or two after school every day of his own choosing. Sadly the season is coming to a close, but maybe we'll make a new discovery soon... I can hope.
I splurged on this jalapeno greek yogurt dip after being swayed by a sample at Costco, but I didn't feel guilty about it at all when it got Sadie to eat raw carrots, cauliflower, and broccoli for a few days (we got that veggie tray for 5 dollars so I figured we wouldn't eat it all but would get our money's worth- Marissa needs no dip and happily crunches on broccoli plain- whose daughter is she?)
And I could kiss Mo Willems for his easy reader "Elephant and Piggie" books. They are simple enough that Shane can read them without much help, but also hilarious, which he loves (and I do too- some early readers are incredibly lame).
And Snow White is my new favorite movie- Marissa loves to play "clean the dwarves house" now. She even motivated me to mop my floor, which doesn't happen as often as it should.
And to top it off, Snow White sleeps after all that cleaning! Genius.
