How do you get your kids to eat fruits & veggies?

If your child is anything like mine it is a battle trying to get them to eat the proper amounts of fruits and vegetables. My son loves applesauce but is not a veggie fan at all! I think an important way to get your kids to eat these is to eat a balanced diet yourselves.

Here are some of my ideas

• mixing extra veggies in with the spaghetti sauce
• v-8 fusion or v-8 splash drinks
• yogurt with fruit
• smashing up bananas on a peanut butter sandwich
• fruit and a dipping sauce!
  

What are some ideas you have on how to sneak some fruits and vegetables into your child's diet?


Check out Horizons new Little Blends. They are bringing fruits and vegetables together in a great tasting yogurt. Produced without added growth hormones, high fructose corn syrup or artificial ingredients. You can even sign up for a coupon on their website.

TwitterMoms is hosting a blogging contest: The first 100 bloggers to enter the contest will win a Thermos snack jar to keep their cool snacks fresh for on-the-go, plus a coupon off Horizon’s new Little Blends yogurt. Participants will also receive a second prize pack to give away to one of their own readers.

The Blackberry Diaries

I recently had the opportunity to read and review The Blackberry Diaries by Kathy Buckworth. I love that the book is written like a blog with short entries. This allows for a quick and easy read. Kathy is witty and open as she tells all about her love for her blackberry and of course her children too! Her comparisons between children and technology made even this non blackberry mom laugh out loud. Working and stay at home moms alike can relate to this book and how modern technology interacts with modern motherhood! My "blackberry" is facebook. I find myself saying "wait I have to update my facebook status before I get you that juice..."

For more information visit Kathy's blog!

You will also want to check out her other books including Journey to the Darkside: Supermom Goes Home and The Secret Life of Supermom.
