There are no words.

Except I simply cannot leave a comment with no words, how rude would that be? A wonderfully cute tribute to cereal and Dr. Seuss.

I like Quaker Oat Squares for dinner :) And the book brought back a lot of memories. I loved to read to my children and a favorite was the Dr. Seuss book "Are You My Mother?"

I'm changing my nagging (remember me?)..You might also need to start writing childen's books taht incorporate the message of healthful eating and body acceptance.
If you do, you will be living my dream.
If you need a partner, contact me.
I promise I can write better than I do on my stupid blog and my little comments.

Seriously…ever thought about it? It's a problem these days…with the kids and the food and the obesity.
