Once you have a baby it is so difficult to keep giving your pet the same amount of attention. You don’t try to forget about your pet, but you are busy and there are so many new tasks and activities once a baby comes home. …
“My kid is just picky.” “He just doesn’t like that kind of food.” “My child can’t eat any foods with that texture.” We hear this a lot from parents but do you really know if your child is just being picky or may need some …
What do pretty much all kids eat? Fruit! What do they pretty much all dislike? Vegetables! Izzy has loved applesauce since she first had a tiny taste at 4 months old. I want to share with you all how I get some veggies mixed into applesauce without Izzy knowing. Continue to offer veggies at meal time, but in between sneak veggie vitamins in!
Ready for my secret to sneaking in extra veggies?
What do you put the applesauce in? Reusable pouches from ChooMee. They are perfect for little hands that want to eat messy purée. I freeze most packets and put a few in my fridge. ChooMee also makes Sip’n covers. They are soft for little mouths that love to chew and they keep the messy spills down. Best part, they are compatible with many pouches if you don’t feel like making your own! Click here and scroll down to see the reusable and disposable brand packets that fit with this cover.
I pour applesauce into the packet, about halfway. Then I add a tablespoon of the veggie mix and then add more applesauce until there is 3/4-1 inch left to the top. You will want that room in order to zip the bottom out without spillage. Once the packet is closed shake it up and put it in your freezer or fridge. Remember if you are freezing, do no fill too much so there is room for some expansion.
Cheers to healthy snacking in and out of the home.

I’m a photo addict! It annoys my husband sometimes because I constantly ask him to back up my phone photos and videos or save all of my images onto an external hard drive for me so I can keep loading up more from my camera.

As an educator I find it very important for parents to continue with educational experiences at home. Whether it is due to summer break or having a child who does not attend day care/preschool. The hard thing for most parents is knowing what to do …
What’s the worst part about the stroller for you? Getting your child in and settled or keeping them content? For me it’s both! I pulled some tips together for you. Izzy isn’t the best in a stroller or carseat or really anything that restrains her. …
Finding the perfect diaper isn’t easy. As a new mom you will try so many brands and you may even do research on diapers that are organic or chemical free.
I have a girlfriend that raves about Bambo Nature diapers, but for some reason I just stuck with what I had been using and never gave them a try. Finally I tried them and guys.. I’m in love! Bambo Nature brings you a premium baby diaper that’s gentle, extremely soft, and made of a high percentage of sustainable materials. I’m not joking about the soft part. It was the first comment to my husband as I opened the pack. Did you know Bambo Nature has earned more credentials, awards, and eco-labels than any other diaper on the market? I didn’t know this, but after trying them I know why.
Izzy loves blueberries, but they make her poop more runny and black. Runny poops can leak and the black color can stain. This is why I’m loving the Bambo diapers! Seriously no leaks, which saves me time in the laundry room! I wish I had them when Izzy was an infant and all of her poop was like liquid.
Check out Bambo diapers here and you will see why they promise:
Guaranteed Skin-Friendly – No Dangerous Chemicals and or 0Allergens
Guaranteed Eco-Friendly – Sustainable Resources and Less Waste
Guaranteed Sleep-Friendly – Maximum Absorbency, Ultra-Soft, Ultra-Flexible
Enough poop talk, I wanted to also share a fun invention called the SnoofyBee. This is a changing pad that rolls up easy for on the go. You can use it at home or out and about. Why is it great? If you have a wiggly baby then you can clip toys onto the pad so they play while being changed. I also like that their is a velcro adjustable cone wrapped around their waist to keep their hands form going into their poop!
I had Izzy explore the SnoofyBee with her baby doll before giving it a try. The SnoofyBee is nicely padded and easy and to wipe off if any mess gets on it. If you are interested in learning more about SnoofyBee you can get yours here.
