My mother and I have decided to eat healthier and it has helped us to keep each other accountable. We both eat 100% whole wheat grains, Fat free milk, Splenda in her coffee, honey instead of sugar in our cereal, and sugar free candy when we have a craving. We also try to cook as much as possible instead of going out to dinner at a restaurant or fast food place. Help your mother with meal planning so as not to take up to much time deciding on what to make. Also, try preparing the meal ahead of time and freezing it so that all you would have to do is defrost and heat up. That is a great idea if you know that you will be extra busy that week and you will not have time to prepare an entire meal.After dinner sometimes, we try to go out for a walk together. You can help your mom get the dishes done so that you can go out on a walk. Sometimes after we are finished with our school work, we will go to the park and walk around a bit. Working along with mom in healthy living helps bring more to your relationship. Have fun making healthy steps, one day at a time.

We have a great big garden plot in a section of the back yard, and most of the time we have tomatoes, apples, oranges, plums, and whatever else happens to be out there coming out our ears! So that means fresh garden salads, homemade speggetti sauce, and delicious fruit smoothies are on the menu quite often!
Wow, that's great Jess! When we decided to start eating healthy it was weird. At first we went all health-nut. We cut out of LOT of stuff, but slowly we fell a little ways back and, though I think we could be healthier, we are a good spot. We do buy a lot of organics.
The only thing I would suggest looking into is Splenda. We used to use it but then we researched it and it's not good for you at all. I'm not sure if it causes brain-damage or what but it's some extreme. ;)
Great article!
