Decluttering has always been a challenge for me. I grew up in a cluttered home. It's always been hard for me to let go of things - I tend to get sentimental. I think the tendency to be cluttered runs in families - I get it from my parents, and I see the tendency in my children.

The Best Tasting Gluten-Free Products for Picky Kids
My daughter has a gluten sensitivity. She can eat a little wheat and be okay, but if she has it too often, she gets stomach aches and feels crummy. Unfortunately...her favorite foods are pasta, mac and cheese, and bagels! Uh oh! And on top of wanting to eat all carbs all the time, she also is very picky.

Needless to say, this has resulted in years of trial and error, not to mention stress on her poor mama. I have worked to create recipes that please her, and you will find lots of those on my website.
