We Stopped Encouraging Our Son to Eat + Other Picky Eater Tactics That Work

Hey there! I have some picky eater tactics that work coming at ya! So I wanted to talk about Quinn and his eating habits and give you a little update. You might remember, he was (is) a very picky eater . We went through all sorts of struggles over the years to get him to eat and, at times, he would go on "hunger strikes" for days and days and eat nothing. It was so stressful as parents.

Habitual drinking is all around us. But there are good reasons not to drink every day. Here’s an update to my year of “wine on the weekends” and tips on how to drink less. One year ago… A year ago I wrote a post about a new plan to limit alcohol to the weekends and special occasions only. (“Special occasions” is very loosely defined!) Having a glass of wine with dinner each night had turned into a ritual that I didn’t feel good about (unless it was 5:00 of course!) I knew I wanted to change the habit and had several good reasons to drink less. One year later I can say that this structure worked very well for me! Reasons I wanted to drink less 1 // Our daily habits make up our health. While I wouldn’t declare that moderate alcohol intake is itself bad for you, I don’t really think it’s good for you either.
