Little Kids: How To Make Mealtime Less Boring

Welcome to This Glorious Mess Little Kids. A twice-weekly look at parenting as it really is - confusing, exhausting, inspiring, funny, and full of surprises. So many surprises! We all love dinner time, but trying to get our kids to love it is a whole other story. So is there any way to make mealtime fun for you and your little ones? This week Tegan and Leigh are joined by Amina Elshafei, a pediatric nurse and former Masterchef contestant. Amina shares her best tips for creating meals that the whole family will enjoy and how to get the kids helping out in the kitchen.  Plus, Babyproofing. Is there a good way to it, without it looking, well... ugly? LINKS You can catch Amina on That's Incredible!
