3239596072_a56e8bce29_m The Simple Life: Using Creativity to Solve ProblemsSince our son is allergic to milk, eggs and peanuts I struggle with feeding him enough protein. It doesn’t help that he usually spits out any chicken or hamburger that I try to sneak in. Then I had a revelation, why not make eating chicken fun?

When we went on our trip last week we introduced our son to the joys of dunking his french fries in ketchup. I usually cover our son’s chicken nuggets in ketchup but I had never tried to show him how to dip it himself. So, when Tim made some homemade chicken nuggets for our son, I squirted some ketchup in a bowl and demonstrated the dipping technique. He loved it and ate every piece of chicken!

Now I know this is a simple remedy that probably every other mother in the world would have thought of before me, but it worked and that is what counts. I think in many areas of our life if we try to be a little more creative we can find simple solutions to our everyday problems.
