Can't Get Your Kids to Eat Veggies?

You here a lot of talk about kids will eat what their parents model. I am finding that to be a little unbelievable. We sit down and eat salads and veggies of all varieties at lunch and dinner, and it's still a battle at every meal.... well generally at least 2 out of 3. At first, I thought I would buy the new V8 juice with the added veggies for the kids. Too expensive for the size that you get, and my kids finish a bottle in 2 meals. So, I came up with my own version of a fruit and veggie smoothie and they loved it! I showed them exactly what I put into it, so that they can understand that veggies too can taste good!

In a blender add:

2 cups of frozen strawberries
1 medium banana
1 cup of raspberry/apple juice
1 scoop of raspberry sherbet
Handful of baby carrots
1 medium zucchini

Blend until smooth, and enjoy!

Just About There....

We are about to embark on our first year of homeschooling, and I am super excited! I have one more shipment to get anyday now, and then I will have all of our books. One thing that I have discovered, is that I don't really have an area to organize all of our supplies. So, I made our hall linen closet into our "school closet". It seems to be working out great!!!
For those of you with not a lot of space and don't really have a "school room" per say, I have found a table wipe/erase board from http://www.discountschoolsupply.com/ It is wonderful! I put it on my island and have the kids at the kitchen table. There is flannel on the other side as well.
Our first day of school will be soon, so keep stopping by!:)
