Family Life and Food
The founder of The Fruity Tart, Liz Flynn, is a mum of four. Therefore, family life is a big part of her life. There is a strong connection between food and family life. Whenever possible, she likes to sit around the table to eat together to share the food they have made. It is also an opportunity to share each other’s news for the day.
In this section of The Fruity Tart, you will find some personal blogs that relate to Liz Flynn’s family life, and the food-related activities she enjoys with her children and partner.
However, this category is not just about personal blogs, as there are articles relating to family life that are there to inspire or give you solutions to problems.
For example, getting children to eat vegetables is something that many parents find tricky. You will find advice to help you introduce new vegetables to your children’s diet.
You will also find articles on topics such as the benefits of involving children in the cooking process. Cooking is a vital life skill to learn. The sooner children get involved, the more culinary skills they can develop.
