As my year as a blogger on the Hidden Valley Ranch parent panel comes to an end, there’s something I was reflecting on recently that I thought I’d share. It’s funny that when our children are young, we take the time to make sure we’re giving them everything they need nutritionally speaking. All the mashed baby food veggies when they’re infants old enough for solids and as they grow, we introduce them to cut up veggies as finger foods and on it goes. As I’ve been writing for and involved with this program it showed me something about my own home I hadn’t realized.
I’m the stickler for diet in my home. My wife keeps a candy stash drawer in the house and the children know where it is. She also loves junk food in the form of snacks and makes sure we have ice cream in the freezer and soda in the fridge. She’s also an amazing cook but darnit the woman loves sweets! Me on the other hand, I’m the veggie heavy. Literally.
At 6′ 240lbs, I don’t have the body type which allows me to graze and eat sweets whenever the mood strikes me… I also never liked veggies too much. I was a bad example, but still I urged (I’m being PC here) my own children to eat their veggies until I actually began craving them myself one day. The thing is this, as they’ve grown and are all now teens, I’ve noticed over the course of this year that I’ve grown ‘lax and haven’t been making sure they eat enough veggies at dinner time or pack some in their lunches. Sure, we buy the carrots with dip and celery sticks when we go grocery shopping, but I wonder how many we’ve thrown out because they expired? I don’t really know but I’ve become more aware of these things lately. I’ve become more aware of my own intake as well. I mean, if I’m not doing it, if I’m not setting the example how can I expect the same from them?
I’ve learned a lot during this time working with Hidden Valley Ranch and picked up some great recipes as well, but I think the most important thing I walk away with having had this experience is that it’s time to double down, not lighten up now that my children seem more self sufficient. These are the most important years of their lives, when they’re growing by leaps and bounds and their bodies need the good things that the vibrant palette of edibles Mother Nature so graciously provides. Your turn to share… is there something in your own household that you’ve become a little layed back about setting the example for or making sure it’s done? Let me know in the comments below. I can’t be the only one! 😉
I have been compensated to participate in the Hidden Valley Ranch “Love Your Veggies” parent panel and will be posting content pertaining to getting your family (and especially those kids) to eat their veggies. It’s for a great cause and it’s all about healthy habits but in the interest of transparency and full-disclosure, these posts will always be clearly labeled.

Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and
gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
Nice post. I was checking constantly this blog and I am impressed!

Hi, There’s no doubt that your blog could possibly
be having web browser compatibility problems.
Whenever I look at your website in Safari, it looks fine however,
if opening in IE, it’s got some overlapping issues.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Apart from
that, excellent website!
I’ve been browsing online more than three
hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like
yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did,
the internet will be much more useful than ever before.

targeted by the government.
