A Week Without Bread: A Fun Challenge for Families!

Hello, beautiful families!

Welcome back to our cozy corner of the internet! It’s week six of our family challenges, and this time, we’re stepping outside our comfort zone with a no-bread challenge! Now, before anyone starts having panic attacks at the thought of a week without their favorite loaves, let’s take a moment to explore the benefits and the fun we can have together!

First things first—if you stocked up on bread during your last grocery run, don’t fret! Bread freezes wonderfully. Simply gather all those loaves you have and tuck them safely into the freezer. That way, when this week is over, you’ll have a treat waiting for you, and you’ll appreciate that first slice even more!

Why should we consider this challenge? Many of us are sensitive to grains, and while we adore them, a break can do wonders for our digestion and overall well-being. Plus, it’s a great opportunity for our families to explore new foods and meals! Think of all the creative options out there beyond bread—veggies, fruits, and whole grains that can bring joy to our plates.

Now, if giving up bread feels too daunting (and that’s perfectly okay!), how about we pivot to a no-dessert challenge instead? The goal is not only to let go of certain foods but also to cultivate self-discipline. It’s a great lesson for our kids about making mindful choices. Remember, it’s not just what we do, but that we’re doing something together as a family that counts!

So, whether you’re going breadless or sugar-free this week, let’s take this chance to connect, learn, and grow. I can’t wait to hear how you and your little ones tackle this challenge. Snap some photos and tag #HereTheyGrow on social media, share some recipes with us on Pinterest, and let’s inspire each other along the way!

Here’s to a week of new adventures and healthier habits! We’re all in this together!

Much love,
Ashley 💖
