A first for Hannah

If anyone knows me, knows I'm a bit of the food police.  It all started when Hannah was born and me and my friend Kristen would get together and make batches and batches of homeade baby food.  We made yummy cubes of sweet potato, corn, peas, green beans, and anything else we could steam and mash.  It was great!  Then Hannah graduated to more solid foods and off to Whole Foods I went.  I was in search of the best, most fresh, organic, whole grain, super colorful food I could possibly find (and afford!).  As she's getting older I've become more lax about her food intake with exception of some things.  She still drinks organic milk, eats organic fruits and veggies whenever possible, does not eat fast food, and her plate looks like a rainbow at every meal.  I just know on her first day of Kinder she'll be the kid trading her food for ANYTHING other than what's in her re-useable lunch sack.

Hannah and I venture to Starbucks sometimes on the weekend for a treat.  She always wants something from the delicious pastry case.  This one particular day, her sweet smile, and repeated "please, please, please" got the best of me.  I bought her her first doughnut.  It was the vanilla sparkle mini doughnut.  It was heavenly.  I took a picture to remind me that non-organic, white flour, pure sugar icing on top doughnuts are not the enemy.  She was so happy to be able to have the whole thing without me asking her 100 times if she'd like to "save the rest for later" (ie; which means I throw the rest away).
