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.

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 […]

Recently I’ve been on a mission to put together a list of healthy, non-processed toddler snacks. I was inspired by a friend who made a New Years resolution to not feed her toddler any processed food. What a fabulous idea, why didn’t I think of that? I try to stay away from processed as much […]

Getting Annabelle to eat breakfast is still a struggle. I long for the days where she used to eat yogurt and fruit and be happy about it, sadly those days are long gone and I now have a toddler thats a picky eater on my hands. Annabelle used to eat breakfast at daycare, which meant I […]

It seems like every holiday is another excuse to give kids candy. Cookies for Christmas, chocolate for Valentines Day and now jelly beans and chocolate bunnies for Easter. I won’t give Annabelle a basket revolving around highly processed sugar filled treats made with refined flour and high fructose corn syrup. There are plenty of other […]
