So I haven't written in a while but I was always told if you haven't anything nice to say.......
The truth is I have been a busy bee
I have had a child since my last post and am really enjoying motherhood but to tell you the truth as most can attest it does not leave you a lot of time for well...... anything
But I love it!
I have been thinking about my child's future granted she is only three and a half months old but hey what mum doesn't think ahead.
The thing at the forefront for me at the moment is nutrition for kids.
What should I feed her?
How will I ensure she is not a fussy eater and so on and so on
I guess the fact that I watched "Jamie Oliver's food revolution" .got me thinking.
when I saw the kinds of thing they were feeding their kids on that show I was horrified sitting in my lounge room I was thinking i would never have all that junk food in my house and feeling all smug sipping my herbal tea.
The next morning when I woke up and my husband gathered all the recycling to put out he commented on all the empty packaging, to quote he said "look at all our rubbish it looks like the inside of the kitchen of that Family from the food revolution show" and looking at it he was right.
There was a cake mix (chocolate) 2 bottles of coke, a bag of Mcdonalds, Nandos and turkish pide
well well if wasn't the pot calling the kettle.......
The thing I realised is that there is a lot of junk in my life and if I am going to bring my baby up to eat right, it needs to start with the way my husband and I eat.
Leading by example and integrating it in our daily lives is important if you are going to teach your little ones the right way to eat
So back to basics, I have ordered my box of organic Fruit and Veg from shire organics (check it out pretty reasonable prices Sutherland Shire only).
And starting Monday I am getting rid of all the junk and fresh food is in.
Wish me luck
&
enjoy! xxx
