Play :: Creating a Summer Bucket List for the Kids

I just might do the food rainbow one tonight when my daughter goes to bed and tell her that a leprechaun must have made it for her overnight and that he probably wants her to eat some of those vegetables. But instead of guacamole, I will use hummus instead. Oh, the art of getting my kid to eat more vegetables! A tale I think many parents are challenged with! Anyhow, do have fun and send in pictures of…
