The New Beginning of Something.... Maybe?

I'm stuck at home for the second day this week with a sick child.  Who seems to be fine in everyway except for the fact that he vomited, twice last night.  He did the same thing on Monday morning of this week and then was fine the rest of the day.  Not sure what is going on, but if it happens again then I will be forced to take him to the doctor.  I HATE doctors!  I think that kids and people go to the doctor WAY to often.  Oh my nose is running, I need antibiotics, I can't sleep for a few nights, I need some sleeping pills.  It's crazy to me.  Now I understand that some things need a doctor's care, but really people, the common cold and common stomach flu do not most of the time.  So much can be cured just by resting at home and eating right, which got me thinking about our meals here at home.

 My husband had also just mentioned to me this news story that talked about kids who are slightly more hyperactive and artificial dye and how that can be a trigger.  Well I started to do some research and read stories, joined a few blogs and all that.  We eat fairly healthy most of the time but as far as artificial dyes and preservatives I hadn't really ever paid attention to that.  It seemed that quite a few of the stories seemed to be pretty valid, so I thought.  What the heck!  Why not try it and see what happens.  Anything that can help my child at school, and at home to concentrate better, behave better and eat healthier is a good thing.  Obesity is such a scary problem in our society right now, especially obesity in children that teaching my child to eat healthy early is so important.  So today I have cooking homemade chicken noodle soup, for my son's touchy tummy and homemade bread.  I will be giving some details about that later.
