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.
This information is invaluable. How can I find out more?
Wow, that’s what I was exploring for, what a data! existing here at this website, thanks admin of this

Aw, this was a very good post. Taking the time and actual effort
to make a very good article… but what can I say… I
put things off a lot and never seem to get nearly anything done.
I got this site from my friend who shared with me about this web site and now this time I am visiting this website and reading
very informative articles or reviews at this place.
Hey are using WordPress for your blog platform?
I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and create my
own. Do you require any coding knowledge to make your own blog?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
This is the perfect blog for anyone who would like to understand this topic.
You realize so much its almost tough to argue with
you (not that I really would want to…HaHa). You definitely put a fresh spin on a topic which has been discussed for decades.
Great stuff, just wonderful!
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 totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
I visited various sites but the audio feature for audio songs present at this site is really wonderful.
Hi there friends, how is the whole thing, and what you wish for
to say on the topic of this post, in my view its actually
remarkable in favor of me.
Hey there! I know this is somewhat off-topic but I needed to ask.
Does building a well-established website like yours take a large amount of work?
I am completely new to running a blog but I do write in my journal on a daily basis.
I’d like to start a blog so I will be able to share my experience and thoughts online.
Please let me know if you have any recommendations
or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers. Appreciate it!
Hi would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using?
I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique.
P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!
This website really has all the information and facts
I wanted about this subject and didn’t know who to ask.
Why users still make use of to read news papers when in this technological globe all is accessible
on net?

I’m planning to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
Would you propose starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option?
There are so many options out there that I’m completely
overwhelmed .. Any ideas? Thank you!

also make comment due to this sensible article.
Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess
I’ll just sum it up what I had written and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog.

My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because
of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on a variety of websites for about a year and am worried
about switching to another platform. I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net.
Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it?
Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
