This post was developed in partnership with Similac. All opinions are my own.Having well balanced meals at our home is important to our family. We have a rule that our little ones have to try something each time it’s served. If they try it and they don’t love it, they don’t have to eat it…
Food is a big part of our day. Our little ones are full of energy. Aside from their three meals a day, we usually have 2-3 healthy snacks throughout the day, as well. We love healthy snacking and finding creative ways to make meal time and snack time fun. Sometimes it’s eating outside as a…
I made a summer bucket list filled with things I wanted to do this summer. Things I wanted to make and things I wanted to experience with the kids. To me, popsicles scream summer but I’m also not a huge fan of a lot of things on the market. I don’t like the large amounts…
I love including my kids in the kitchen with me. I’m in the kitchen at least three times a day and having them alongside me does take a bit more patience but I love how much they enjoy being there and learning alongside me. I started both of my children out young in the kitchen…
The weather is changing to the most beautiful time of the year around here. There’s a chill in the air in the mornings, there is a gentle sunny, warmth throughout the days and cool, breezy evenings. It’s my favorite time for year. Our windows are open most days and all evening long. The trees are…
We love quick, healthy snacks around here. Several months ago my MIL brought some homemade crackers when they came to visit us. They were yummy and tasted similar to Wheat Thins, so naturally I asked for the recipe. Even though sometimes it’s easier to pick up a box of something at the store I love…
For quite some time I made our granola bars pretty frequently – like twice a month or so. They were easy to have on snacking, had decent protein and we all like them. Then Ryan started hinting at the desire for basic granola. He would crumble the granola bars into his yogurt or would stop…
A couple of weeks ago, we took A to the mall and had Wetzel’s Pretzels while we were there. It was A’s first time having big, fluffy warm pretzels and it had been years for both Ryan and I. They were so yummy. Ryan had grabbed them while A was taking a nap on me and…
I’m pretty hit and miss on muffins, sometimes I love them…sometimes not so much. I’m very picky about flavor and texture, I want them light and flavorful. These are exactly that and a household favorite around here. So delicious! [yumprint-recipe id=’12’]Enjoy!
I’ve mentioned before that A is a very busy toddler and can be quite the picky eater. I’m constantly looking for ways that she will get in healthy foods while on the go. We got a box of granola bars one day while at the store and they were a hit she loved them, but…
Ryan has always loved fruit leathers but they can get pricey and they can have some “not so fabulous” additives in them. A loves snacking and I try to make her snacks as healthy as possible, contrary to her sometimes picky eating habits. We found a product called Shredz made by Plum Organics that I…
I’m tend to be the mom that likes to make sure I’m making whatever is best for A to eat. I feel like its important to pay close attention to what I’m feeding her and what is in her food. It’s easy to pick up a package of muffins at the store but a lot…
