I've found over my 5+ professional years of mothering that my kids will try new things if I make it LOOK fun and inviting (adding little picks and reusable muffin cups). Stevie struggles with eating meat, but he's BIG on fruits and veggies, so fingers crossed that this rubs off on the kids that come after him.

What I've learned from the first week of school: Spelling out 'love' is not really cool, sending leftover pizza makes your child a lunchtime rock star, & grapes that many days in a row is unacceptable. In my defense, those grapes were ready to go bad & I do NOT waste produce.
Other things I've learned: This is a lot more fun for me than it is for my 5 year old. Let me have this one.
