We haven't just taken away every single favorite food our children have ever loved. We've shared with them WHY regarding each and every single food. We turn over every single package and show them why they can't have it. Sound mean and heart wrenching? Probably does.
However, in teaching them they WHY behind our eating habits and lifestyle, it has enabled them (educated them) to be able to examine foods or products offered to them when we are not around them and the ability to decipher whether or not they should consume it or use it.
Take Julie's run-in with her school nurse yesterday. (Who would've known the school nurse would be our arch-enemy in all this?!!) I wrote about it on our other blog. And, the next time you think your kid isn't old enough to make wise decisions, remember this little six year old fire cracker who took on her school nurse! ;)

Hey Kristin, I've noticed you in choir in the past few weeks. It's been nice to see you up there :) Glad y'all are either visiting or coming regularly to BBC again! I saw the link to your blog on Lana's website and stopped by. I noticed that Craig (and probably all of you for the most part) are gluten free. I wanted to share with you a lady that makes gluten free mixes here in SW Austin. If you'd like her information let me know, she has dry mixes for brownies, bread, pancakes, etc. She can make any type of mix you like, make them egg,dairy free - I think she can customize it pretty easily. Hope all is well!
