Here at the Casa Handmade we have been having some sleeping issues. The girls are in bed at 7:45, but over the last few weeks they have been falling asleep later and later.  I myself have to get to bed by 10 in order to function the next day, and now that is is taking the girls until 9:45 to drift off we are all suffering.

I do not do well without enough sleep. At all.

So we are trying a bit of an experiment this week. We are trying to cut out as much sugar as we can. Gone are the Cheerios with honey for breakfast. No more graham crackers after school. It is meaning a bit more prep work and planning to make sure we have enough alternatives, but I am hoping this means they won’t be so wired at night.

Overall our diet is not bad, but it is amazing how qwickly all that stuff will creep in. I’ll update you as the week goes on. So far the girls are OK with the whole idea. We’ll see today… the afterschool snack is the real test.
