when i was at the grocery store last week there was another mama shopping with her two tots, about the same age as mine. cool- here we were, two moms in yoga pants, each with two kids, buying groceries to feed our families. i felt a connection, we smiled. but then, i didn't mean to, but i peeked at her grocery cart contents, and suddenly i realized we were very, very different.
you may or may not believe me, but in the 5 years i've been a mom, i've successfully kept these foods from my kids. unless there is an organic, all-natural spin-off of these foods, they've never had them. and the good thing is, they don't know what they're missing. i don't see it as depriving them...i'm protecting them.
1. Fruit Roll-Ups
2. PopTarts3. Kool-Aid4. Soda

{disclaimer: i have no idea what Grandma, PaPa or Granny feeds my kids when i'm not looking, and i have no control over it, either.}
