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 blueberries! There are numerous benefits of eating … [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 recruit my dollar when … [Read more...]

101 Uses for aden+anais Swaddlers While Traveling #babytravels Grand Prize

Travelin' With Baby is one week away and we're still rolling out the Grand Prize Sponsors! One thing that accompanies us everywhere we go is the girls' aden+anais Swaddlers. We used to really only use them for their intended purpose - as a Swaddling Blanket for Mroeaya when she was an infant and as a regular blanket for both girls. The softness of them is kind of hard to believe - I've seen it said many times "I wish they made an Adult Size!" and I agree! But I just happen to spy a question on the aden+anais Facebook Page one day about other uses for their Swaddlers and it really got me to thinking about other ways that we could use our swaddlers! Use 78: As a Tummy Time Play Mat. I actually learned my favorite use of our blankets from the list - as a baby towel! It folds up a lot thinner … [Read more...]

Earth’s Best Growers

Do you ever wonder where your fruits and vegetables come from? Unless you purchase them from a local Farmer's Market or get them from a gardener yourself, it's often a mystery. What about your child's baby food? Do you know what's really in that little jar? That's one of the main reasons I started making Moreaya's baby food at home. That way I would know exactly what's in her food. It's a fun activity that I enjoy - but it does take a little time and prep work, which some parents may not have or choose not to do. Lucky for you - Earth's Best Organic tells you exactly what's in their baby food and where it comes from too! All Earth’s Best growers treat their crops with care in order to ensure the best products go into each Earth’s Best item, giving … [Read more...]

Five Healthy Halloween Ideas – Alternatives to Candy!

When I was a kid, I loved getting tons of candy on Halloween. Now that I'm a Mom - I despise it. It's so hard to tell a 2 year old that she doesn't need to eat all that junk that she's worked so hard to collect. I know, I know. Maybe I shouldn't let her collect it, huh? But I'm going to. It's a past time that I enjoyed in my childhood and I'm going to let her enjoy. But - I'm going to jump on the Healthy Halloween wagon this year and I encourage you to do it also! Stuck with no healthy ideas that are alternatives to the cheap candy found in the stores? Here's a list to help get your creative juices flowing! Play Doh! I'm sure you've all seen those small, treat size canisters of Play Doh. I gave these out a couple of years ago and … [Read more...]
