Bringing up children isn’t easy, kids don’t naturally always make the right choices, and so they often need a little education. If you want to teach your children about responsibility, there are lots of simple ways that you can do this.

One of my kids loves eggs! Yay! Georgie is ok with them – he’s made his peace with the fact that he must eat eggs – but James…oh James loves them. He especially loves them scrambled which is so fantastic because that’s when I get the chance to hide a little health booster in the dish.
James will be two in a couple of weeks. Which means we’ll be right smack bang in the middle of toddlerhood and the terrible twos stage hopefully coming out the other end unscathed and unscarred. Soon. Days with this little dude are anything but boring as you can imagine if you live or have ever lived with a toddler. He runs on an endless amount of energy, rarely sleeping throughout the day except for a quick nap in the car while I do the school run. But man, the boy can eat! Before the clock hits midday he’s already asked for two snacks and another bowl of cornflakes.
Ah, the eating chapter. There are days when it tires me to my core. James is a completely unpredictable and fussy eater. One day he wants to feed himself the next day he screams bloody murder when I put a slice of avocado in front of him. He’s also slim for his age but of course that’s because he’s too busy burning off whatever he does actually eat. So I’ve had to do some homework and find tasty treats and combinations that he likes. Here’s what’s working with James lately.
Have you guys heard of golden milk? A warm sweet mixture that is super healthy for you. And I promise the kids will love it too.
