Trying something New!

I am trying something new!  Firstly I have tried to have my kids eat vegetarian almost 6days a week and I also and trying to make as much of their food as I can.  I know everyone says 21days to a new habit.  I have actually been making vegetarian about 60% of the time for them so this won't be to much of a stretch.  My biggest concern is just sticking with a routine. You would think by October I would have a school routine down but I don't.  I still working at it.  Making most of their food from scratch has proved a little tougher than I first thought.  Its so easy to run out and grab a pack of cookies or snacks.  The modern grocery store is a blessing and curse.  Great for Moms who need to just run in and get it and be done. However a mother like myself that wants her kids to eat as much as they can wholesome and not full of artificial ingredients. It proves to be harder especially since I live nowhere near a Wholefoods or Health food store.  Its a more time consuming task I have taken on.  Its completely worth it when there bodies are healthier and they will grow up to be healthier too.  They sneak artificial flavoring and artificial sugars in alot of foods targeted to kids too.  Its awful that they are doing this.  Kids need wholesome foods closest to how they grew as possible.  I mean really blue cereal.  Wheat doesn't grow blue and fruit snack blue, purple, and bright green.  Not natural!!  Seriously between the dies fillers and artificial flavors and artificial sweeteners what is this doing to our kids and ourselves???  I will tell you we are filling our kids with toxins and unnatural ingredients.  This is going to hurt there growing bodies in the long run.  So this Mama is going to make a change for her kids and for her family.  I hope you will join me in changing what we eat and how we feed our families.
