Parenting as a Christian Single Dad

With the big push towards sugar free everything I am a bit nervous of what is to come. Personally I don't believe that these sugar substitutes are the answer and we are setting ourselves up for a big problem. I love sugar yet I know to much of it is a bad thing and when it comes to Madalyn I am trying to find healthy alternatives that she will enjoy. The most recent of which is buying those yogurts in a tube and freezing them. I know this is probably an old idea but I really never had to deal with such issues, heck until recently I never bought yogurt. I guess I am a late bloomer. Anyhow it works great and Madalyn loves the choice of eating the yogurt from the freezer or the fridge.

Eating healthy is important to me... it makes up for the time I get to go eat McDonalds with Madalyn. So I have adopted a new way of eating "ice cream" which involves freezing flavored yogurt and mixing it in a blender with some juice and milk. To me it is great, just as good as ice cream but to the munchkin she knows it isn't ice cream and she wants the real thing. So how the heck does she know? I think it is funny... I can put a bowl of ice cream in front of her and she will devour it. I put my frozen yogurt ice cream in front of her and she complains. Go figure.
