My dinner (peas and water) vs hubs dinner (kabosi with sour kraut and rice! With soda)
@inlove_with_my_family yeah, that's a no no. Thats wrong of them to do. My DD enjoys the smoothies I make too and I know she's getting a serving of some healthy foods. Thankfully the fruit is the distinct taste in smoothies so kids have no idea. Jocey knows what she's drinking though. She sees me make them.
@mommiesaremagical14, you are defiantly a lucky mama! I am going to do that with my daughter as well! Hopefully we are away from my so called family by the time she has teeth because they don't listen and try to give her stuff that I say not to even now 🙄
@inlove_with_my_family, I made sure that fruits and vegetables became her Norm from the start she was very limited on junk food. Now that she's older she does get to have you no cookies and cake and ice cream but that still limited as well. Another thing I got lucky with is that she hates soda!!! I've never given her her own cup of soda but she's had sips of mine and she hates it.
It's a good thing your daughter loves them! That is really good for her!
That sounds great! Thank you for sharing that with me! I will defiantly have to look for one today! I have to be more like you with the fruits and veggies always in the house lol @mommiesaremagical14,
@inlove_with_my_family if you can find some local pick your own farms. It's so much fun and so much cheaper then buying at the store. They usually have stands where you can buy more. One time I took Jocey I picked 4 lbs of strawberries for $3 and got an egg plant, 2 zucchini and a squash for $2!!! We always have fruits and veggies in my house. I'm a vegetarian so I definitely need them and Jocey just loves them!!!
That sounds great! I was doing that and stopped. But I really need to start again! @mommiesaremagical14, I will defiantly be buying fruits and veggies tomorrow!
@inlove_with_my_family Any fruits, veggies I usually go with spinach or kale, flax and chia seeds, quinoa, cinnamon and honey and a detox tea. I don't do all of it together though I switch them up. I also do breakfast smoothies which is usually a fruit or 2 with yogurt, milk and oats.
Really? What kind of smoothies have you been drinking? @mommiesaremagical14,
That's good! You are staying away from the bad carbs 😁 @mommiesaremagical14,
Shhh lol. I already had a meal earlier so this is a snack. But only eating alittle of it. Not all.. was just being funny @tristynnashllynn,

And I wanted their shirts to be pink well my mother in law had to put her two scents in and was like “why pink they are boys not girls and your sister is having the baby not you” and Than i was just joking around with them and I told them I was going to do the cheese c...
Yes it is. That's why I have been working less so I can watch her because I can't trust anyone else with her. Hey as long as they like them and drink them that's all that matters! I will defiantly have to do that with her. I don't want her eating junk food. Only special occasions. @mommiesaremagical14,
