Kids

When it comes to my kids, their health and happiness are my two biggest concerns. After that, it’s most important to me to raise them to be the best kind of people they can be. 

I take food very seriously in our home, because my husband has a lot of food allergies. This means we are very careful with what we let into our home. That means our kids eat a diet that is gluten-free, and full of fresh veggies and fruits. 

We are also committed to raising our kids without spoiling them, and teaching them the value of working hard for what you have in life. We think it’s actually a good thing for kids to not get everything that they want, because it helps build them into better people. 

Children can be a lot of work, and they don’t always make life easier. I strive to help you enjoy your children more and stress over them less!

Being six is tough. Or at least, that’s how it looks when I ask my six-year-old son to sit still for five minutes. Unfortunately for both of us, school works takes a lot more than five minutes a day. I know that my son isn’t a bad kid - he’s actually a very good kids except for when he’s Keep Reading

Healthy snacking is hard, and I don’t just mean for kids. It’s hard for adults too. I mean, first, you have to make something, or at the very least, wash and cut something, which takes time. To be honest, I stopped keeping a stash of homemade goodies on hand when I realized how nutritionally devoid Keep Reading

September 29, 2016 By Elise New 3 Comments This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy for more info.

A lot of parents are a bit afraid to fly with their kids. I’m sure we’ve all read a scathing article or two on some equally scathing blog about how annoying it is to fly near children. They cry, they kick the seat in front of them, they don’t respect personal space boundaries. But I’m here to Keep Reading
