Favorite Seed Oil Free Snack/Foods/Salad Dressings?GREAT question!! We are doing the same. Instagram told me to order on Thrive. I actually typed "seed oil free snacks" into amazon today and some great options came up. I have no idea if they are actually seed oil free, so will update in a few days when everything comes in.

Best go-to easy dinnerhonestly we do a lot of healthy freezer meals. We love the Dr.Praegers cauliflower fries, spinach nuggets. Depending on your kids ages, we did "little spoon" which was amazing and SO easy!! I felt good about that when kids were young because they were quick, required little effort on my end and were sneaking vegetables in.

Do I hold my June Baby Back for Kindergarten?I am a May baby and was held back and I don't think it was the best choice for me. I excelled as a child, was mature, teachers loved me etc but as an adult i've had to learn skills that I missed learning as a kid because I never had to. So childhood was easier but adulthood was harder.
This may not be everyone's experience but it's mine These things might be impossible to predict and we are all just making the best decisions that we can for our kids!

Kindergarten Help!@EveryoneShhh
My daughter's teacher did/does this as well and it was very helpful! It's a little bag of confetti with a note/poem about starting school. A little boost of confidence and generates excitement. -
Kindergarten Help!I did not anticipate the change to be as challenging on myself as it was. I work full time and my kids have always been in full time care so I thought it would be easy breezy but it was more challenging than I expected. It's just different than daycare. More demands, more to keep up with, more rules-for parents too-hello tardy bell! I would suggest not taking on any big projects at work for the first few weeks if you can swing it. To give everyone some extra margin to adapt

Summer Baby - send to kinder or no?We sent our son to kinder and he was a May birthday. I agree with the above that it depends on the kid. School came natural to him and when he is bored he gets himself in trouble. One of his preschool teachers that has been a teacher for over 22 years who I valued her opinion, said if he get's held back he would get himself into trouble. One other positive is that he is challenged and not everything comes easy since he is not the oldest, I think it will prepare him for the real world! If there was a learning disability or another reason related to education I would have maybe held him back!

Systems that help your kids pick up after themselvesWe are starting from scratch in our house and I'm looking to implement systems that help my kids pick up after themselves. I have come to the realization that I can't pick up after everyone, there's simply not enough hours in the day! Chore charts? Natural rhythms? Want to hear it all, please!!
