Help! My 5yo dd is starting Kindergarten in a couple of weeks, and we are really worried about how to make the transition work. She was only in 1/2 day preschool for one year (last year) and other than that has had one-on-one care....

Thanks--great suggestions. She cannot open the Lunchbots without spilling the contents all over the place. (Just got that in the mail after spending $13 on one container only to learn this.) I can't find small Lock and Locks around...

Just had to rave about this amazingly simple and delicious snack. Today my 4-y-o ate about 4 whole leaves of kale this way! She loved it. You wash the kale and pull it off of the tough center spine, breaking it into pieces 2-3...

Any suggestions? It's murder to get her to eat enough before she goes to preschool and I'd love to get something in her tummy that would really stick with her. Does anyone have any favorite breakfasts appealing to a...
