Love it or Leave it? Learning Tower

Wow it’s been a little bit since the last post. Days have come and gone and between the gorgeous weather, getting back into the swing of the school year and life I guess I haven’t written. I didn’t realize how long it’d been. So what exactly is a learning tower? The best way to describe […]

Starting Over

It’s been quite a while since Annabelle and I started the toddler wars. We’ve since been on vacation to visit my parents in Casa de Campo in the Dominican. The beginning of the toddler wars was pretty brutal, trying to eliminate all signs of processed foods from Annabelle’s diet. On vacation it wasn’t much easier, […]

Food War Teachings

Ultimatley getting Annabelle to eat nothing but real food was easier than I thought it would be. It’s been about 2 weeks since I started the food wars  and although I haven’t gotten Annabelle to eat plain fruit or veggies she has been drinking yogurt and fruit smoothies and eating veggie filled chicken and turkey […]

Food Wars – Days 6-7

Day 6 was a little bit hectic. Again scrambled eggs and coconut oil covered waffles for breakfast. Not very exciting. Annabelle goes to daycare from 9-3 on Tuesdays over the summer so that mommy can catch up on her reality TV  write, blog, cook, organize, workout and get massages. Apparently spending time at home with mommy […]

Toddler Wars Day 5

The food wars just keep getting better! Annabelle is branching out and trying new things. Not everything that I put on her plate but for the most part she’s trying at least something.

Food Wars Days 3-4

Day three was quite a disaster. Annabelle woke up at 5am with a fever. No fun. Lots of drool, chubby cheeks and a fever can only mean one thing. More teeth. I think I’m going to throw a party in honor of the last tooth coming in because this is exhausting. One of the things […]

Food Wars – Day 2

And the battle continues. I want to try to expand Annabelle’s palate a little with new foods. Or better yet, foods that she used to like and has suddenly become too picky to eat. So I pulled out one of my old breakfast favorite. Brown rice pudding. When I was single and lived in NYC […]

Food Wars – Day One

Thursday was the first day of the our food war. All real fresh food, or nothing. I was terrified that Annabelle would either not eat anything at all and be terribly grumpy and irritated or that she’d decide she would just nurse all day instead of eating. Here’s what happened… She nursed in the morning […]

Toddler Food Wars

Lately Annabelle and I have been going through some food wars. We’ve fallen into a rut and she doesn’t want to eat anything. Except raisins, crackers and spinach cakes. I’m pretty sure it started around the same time our breakfast wars began and it’s gotten increasingly worse, seeping into other meals. Annabelle loves pre-packaged frozen […]
