why is it I feed my kids so much better in the summer??

maybe because I have more time and its a little less scheduled and chaotic
but usually my dd has a poptart for breakfast and then pbj for lunch and prebagged snacks for lunch

this morning I made eggs overeasy with toast and juice
I bought and cut a load of fruit so thats what they will have for snack
for lunch I actually have a bunch of options lunch meat,chicken,cucumbers with sourcream(yummmy)

I M GOING TO TRY and keep this up when school comes

Re: why is it I feed my kids so much better in the summer??

I feed MYSELF better in the summer too!

There is something about summer that seems to cry out for fruit and veg and stuff like that. I eat 10x more salad in the summer than in the cold weather. And my kids get SO MUCH fruit. Right now the only snacks we have in the house are: Apples, Blueberries, Cantaloupe, Grapes, Cherries, Bananas, Oranges, Grapefruit and Cheesesticks!

In the winter? It's way more carb heavy - goldfish crackers, pretzels, cookies..

I think you are on to something about having time too. I don't really have more time in the summer.. but because the days are longer it FEELS like I do.
