i’ve recently transitioned to decaff tea. the trick is twofold. 1. look for the best decaff products, they are not all created equal. And of course the big one, 2. perspective. i don’t think of it as something taken away, but rather something added. more motivation to try unusual herbal blends.
good luck!

as you know, gaia began school today. it was not the warm and cozy of waldorf, and this was a slap in the face. sean and i both questioned ourselves a million times over and we still are wondering if we made the right decision. she cried all day. my heart was shattered, and then once at the beach, she was my gaia again. her happy place. she tells me she likes her teacher a lot, but she doesn’t like her class. tomorrow is a new day. i hope for happy.

thank you for inspiring me. always.

Feeding and selecting food for my boys is one of the hardest battles I fight on a daily basis, especially as they grow older. I’m up against companies that are spending millions of dollars to market to the boys and I have to always be on the look out how they are sneak their products into my home. One of my biggiest pet peeves are children’s menus at resteraunts. Why does there have to be a separate menu for children? 99% of the time I refuse the children’s menu since it normally only has bland, processed, high carb choices. That generally makes me the “bad guy” in my nephews eyes and leads to a few unhappy moments before we can get back on track. We usually end up splitting a well selected adult entree, to which we are generally penalized for and have to pay a split plate charge. I’m ok with having to override the system but sometimes, especially when I am tired, I get extremely frustrated that the system for feeding children (and adults) is so broken.
