But it’s also difficult to do so. Part of this is because sugar is in almost everything we consume. As a child, I admit, I did eat sugar cubes, I heaped a spoonful of sugar on my cereal… I loved sugar. I still love sugar, but I’m also learning that this isn’t such a great thing.

My toddler is absolutely in love with Paw Patrol. In fact, the only thing that will probably draw her attention away from Paw Patrol is Frozen. Yes, she is a bit obsessed.
