Monkey See Monkey Do

Lately I have been trying to lose weight, and get healthy (nothing at all to do with the big 40 coming up! LOL), and it is amazing to see how much the kids are taking on. They have never really eaten that badly, but when it has come to snacks they have been a little too used to processed snacks.

Since my efforts have started I have stopped buying more and more of the processed snacks and I think everyone is getting great benifit from it all. Today I picked up some really cute 'snack' size bowls from Kmart, and after school I presented the girls with a 3 fruit salad....they were so excited!! Not one whinge about it being fruit, or wanting more, they loved it. So it really is Monkey See Monkey Do in so many ways. Their lunchboxes this week have been very simple, but they have been loving it! A very small home made cheese & bacon scroll, home made banana muffin, 2 pieces of fruit, small baby carrott & maybe a slice of cheese. Far cry from what their lunchboxes had turned in to at the end of last year. Not once have they said they miss all the other stuff.
