So to make this really work, we decided that our kitchen cabinets needed to be 'detoxed'. We went through and pulled out anything with artifical ingredients, sugar, High Fructose Corn syrup or uncessary preservatives (understanding that some natural ones like citric acid may be neccesary in certain cases).
And yes, there wasn't much left in our cabinets after that. I will admit that I couldn't quite bring myself to throw it all away. So I cheated a bit, boxed it all up and put it out of sight in the garage (I know this will come back to haunt me...visions of moldy food being discovered a decade from now).
We sat First Grader down and explained to him that we were going to do a "family project". Thank God for the natural curiosity that six year olds have, because he is very excited, even if it meant giving up all his favorite sugary stuff. As the days go by, we will have to find ways to keep him engaged.
So here we go !
