Earth's Best Organic - So Easy Being Green

Disney Princess Party Decorations from Snack Containers

Sophia's 3rd Birthday was over the weekend and she celebrated with a Disney Princess Tea Party theme! She chose the theme completely, although I encourage adding the Tea Party idea to make it a little more unique. I made most of the decor and party favors this year, saving a bit on expenses and making the party a little more personal. I always like to prepare fun party favor bags for the kiddos that come and since we usually have younger guests, I always throw in a few surprising things! Incorporating Earth's Best Organic into Party Take-Homes If you're out of ideas for the little guests, jars and pouches of baby food, infant cereal, and fun little books are great additions to their favor bags! Incorporating Earth's Best Organic into Party … [Read more...]

Easy Snack Solution – Kids Trail Mix

We've been going on quite a few walks lately and it never fails that the daughter that can vocalize her wants... always wants a snack while we're walking. And the one that doesn't quite vocalize herself, well at least with words yet, still lets me know that she would like something to! We have quite a few cannister of Earth's Best Organic snacks in our pantry that the girls love, but tire of by themselves sometimes. So, I've been putting together a quick and easy snack solution for them to chomp on while we're on the road sidewalk. You can get really creative in your ingredients! Raisins Marshmallows Earth's Best Happy Snax Dried Blueberries Dark Chocolate Chips Earth's Best … [Read more...]

Mom, What’s for Breakfast? Healthy, Simple Toddler Breakfast Idea

"Mom... What's for Breakfast!?" I can't tell you how many times I hear this question - at least once a DAY! HA! But seriously, breakfast options can be just as hard to decide on as lunch and dinner. Especially hard when you've just woken up, haven't had a cup of coffee yet, and are scrounging around the cupboards and freezer for a quick option on those mornings. I've shared before that Sophia is in love with oatmeal in the mornings. One reason is because it's something that she can help make, but she also loves to customize it. Right now she's on a dried blueberry kick, so when she's enjoying a bowl of Earth’s Best® Sesame Street® Organic Yummy Tummy Oatmeal, we always add a small handful of … [Read more...]

5 Tips on How to Get Your Toddler to Eat Vegetables

A few months ago I blogged about this subject, but on the opposite side. I wanted to know how to get my toddler to eat vegetables. Sophia was a great eater as a young toddler - she preferred spinach to chocolate, broccoli to bananas. Seriously! But then she became two and everything changed. I reached out on the blog, on my personal Facebook, to other Mothers... I had no idea what to do with this little girl who was refusing anything that was good for her. I got some great advice, we implemented some new family rules, and I am proud to say that Sophia is now eating veggies again! Sure, it's a hit and miss kind of thing and sometimes she still refuses, but I'm going to share with you a little success... Last night, hubby and I met in the kitchen {we walked out of … [Read more...]

Earth’s Best Organic NEW Yogurt Puffs

Remember the Earth's Best package that I showed you just a few days ago? It was an extra special one because it had a brand new {or two} products in it! When I first heard the name, I thought they would be like those little freeze dried yogurt snacks for babies. Moreaya likes them, Sophia despised those, and I am a little weirded out by the texture of most of them. But the new Yogurt Puffs from Earth's Best resemble the quick dissolving baby puffs that most babies and toddlers LOVE! They taste yummy - that's coming from me and they are even softer than most of the puffs that we've tried before. I think they have a little more taste to them too! Did you know that earlier this year yogurt was named … [Read more...]

Earth’s Best Organic in the New Year

Sophia is so excited when we get a package delivered. I guess that's the fun part when your Mom's a Mommy Blogger. I admit, I get kind of excited too. But she gets really excited when she finds out it's from Earth's Best Organic. That's right - we rip the box open and tear into it right in the middle of the kitchen floor. Like I said, I'm as excited as they are to see what's inside. I admit that being an Earth's Best Organic Blogger has definitely made it possible for me to try all of the great products that I might not have been able to if I wasn't. I also admit that I'm a bit of a brand snob - when I like something, I continue to buy that brand in just about everything I can. That makes it a little harder for companies to … [Read more...]

Baby Food Pouches vs Jars

Jars vs. Pouches - Which to choose? Are you a Pouch Snob? Do you find yourself standing in the baby food aisle - torn between which style of baby food to buy? Ok, me neither, but it was kind of funny to think about for a moment. I've used both with both girls - and homemade baby food too! There are times that I prefer pouches: travel and now that Moreaya can eat them straight from the pouch and times that I preferred jars. This month we shared with you information on both Earth’s Best pouches and jarred products…so which do you choose? There is a time and a place for both and you don’t have to make a choice to just enjoy one or the other. Each has their own benefits and the chart below will help you make better informed decisions! I am an Earth's Best … [Read more...]

Holiday Giving with Earth’s Best Organic

This Holiday season I've talked a lot about giving back. We collected Unilever brands and products and donated to our local food bank. I shared with you the idea of Giving Back through the Boys and Girls Club of America's program Give the Gift of a Great Future. You might have donated to a Toys for Tots Drive, gave coats to a Coat Drive, put some change in the Bell Ringers Pots, or even picked a name off a local Angel Tree. No matter what you do, little or small, it's so important to give when you are financially able. This is the lesson that I've tried to share with Sophia this year. Although she's still a little too young to totally understand, I tried to explain. I tried to tell her that there were little boys and girls in the world that didn't always have a pack of … [Read more...]

Toddler Activities using Baby Food Pouch Lids

We talked earlier this week about the Baby Food Pouches from Earth's Best Organic. With all of the Earth's Best Food Pouches that the girls go through, I started wondering... "What to do with all those Baby Food Pouch Lids?". So, I started saving them and Sophia and I came up with some creative uses and great toddler activites! Patterns. This is by far her favorite activity to do with the lids. I simply draw circles on her dry erase board and she lays out the lids on the circles. You can definitely make it harder for an older toddler by having them to complete a pattern that you start too! Free Play/Design. When I started thinking about what to use the lids for, I went straight to the little inventor herself. She said, "Look. You can … [Read more...]
