I reached for the boxed Mac and cheese tonight and I didn’t feel one ounce of guilt. (()) 🍝
I’ve had sick kids the last 9 days with constant high fevers, 3/4 trips to the ped or urgent-care (so tired I honestly can’t count). I’ve slept on their floor or on the couch, just to make sure I was close enough to them when their fever spiked at night.
I can honestly say, I couldn’t have done better tonight.
Sure, I served broccoli 🥦 for but I also let them eat on the floor and eat macaroons before dinner. 🫠
These days aren’t common and I know something’s wrong when I’m breaking every routine we follow but sometimes, we are just surviving and that’s okay.
When we inevitably reach the other side, we can remind ourselves to make another choice, one that might serve where we want to be…not just where we are. 🍉
When we can do better, let’s do better. If you can’t, don’t feel an ounce of guilt. You are just trying your best, my friend. Aren’t we all?
Drop a ❤️ if you’re just trying you’re best.

Do we track our eating habits into adulthood?
The thought of my child needing an iPad to eat dinner someday…as an adult is painful.
According to the research, eating habits in childhood, set the stage for adult behavior later in life.
This means that HOW we are feeding our kids… actually does matter!
If you want your child to grow into an adult that has healthy eating habits…all on their own…we need to show them the way… as children. ((By no means am I saying they can’t unlearn these habits, I certainly have had to.))
❗️ Do you have an unhealthy habit around food you’ve had to break as an adult? ❗️
