I personally would talk with Emma and say something like "hey Emma I would really appreciate it if you help me make better and healthier meals for all of us" and ask her if there is anything that she would like to try making. I know 16 can be a tough age to get them to engage in doing things, but maybe look up healthier meals on Youtube together.

As for the two younger ones again slowly start introducing a new food each week. Not sure if you and your family eat out or do fast foods, but there are so many different hacks out there that can make those McDonald's chicken nuggets a healthy food that is made at home or really any other fast food can be made as a healthy alternative at home.

I always think outside the box. One of my go to snacks is a dill pickle wrapped with cheese and deli ham or chicken. It might seem strange, but its good and filling.

I think I have to tender of a heart to raise animals for food and such. I'd never eat meat again! I have mad respect for those that can but I get way to attached to do it,

I have a former aunt who had a farm, they had a pair of dogs get attacked by a mountain lion. They had to shoot them due to injuries just being unrecoverable. I just can't. Like you say I love animals and something like having to kill a rattlesnake even would just break my heart. Spiders are even a hard one for me. I know it's a bit naive as I do eat meat but then the human brain and heartl are fickle things usually at odds with one another.

one thing I would love is the low light pollution! I love the night sky in the country.

sorry to babble on!

Hi there. You could try some natural remedies . Prunes and aloe gel are great

I'm glad you're training is/went well.

My previous job we used SAP and I knew it well, made my job so efficient it became boring, did not require many decisions once system was set up!
