The Making of My Meal Plan – 2 Week Plan

Every 2 weeks I do our big trip to the grocery store. My goal is to buy enough food to last us for 2 weeks (with the exception of perishable items that will need to be restocked after the 1st week.) While I shop I’m meal planning in my head. We have a handful of…

Portion Control is my Enemy. The Yum Yum Dish is My Friend.

A few crackers here, a bunch of grapes there and a little bit of cheese. Throughout the day I find myself grazing in the kitchen, eating not because I’m all that hungry but just because. I typically don’t eat foods that are bad for me it’s the quantity of the foods that work against me…

Oh Yeah, I’m A Mom.

After getting 8 straight hours of sleep last night I decided to put a little extra effort into my look today. I put together a nice outfit. Put on Makeup. Styled My Hair. I have to say I looked pretty hot. Then as I snuggle with my cute bear he spits up. All over my…

Jude’s First Brain Freeze

Yesterday was a gloriously warm spring-like January day. (We’ve had a lot of those lately.) So I decided we needed to take full advantage of this warm weather and get out of the house. Lately, Jude has been a bit of a homebody so it took some persuasions (aka bribery) to get him into the…

Words that Sound Worse Coming From a Child

Oh God! That is Jude’s current favorite phrase. It started as “Oh Gosh” but that Gosh rapidly evolved to God. “Oh Gosh” was cute but “Oh God” made me cringe. I’m not sure where he picked up either of the phrases. I don’t think I use either of them but it only takes one time…

Tummy Time with Infantino

Noah was a big baby at birth, 11lbs to be exact, so he developed skills a little fast than most kids his age. He was rolling to one side at 2 months, which meant he had self imposed tummy time a lot. I would still get on the floor and play with him and encourage…

Tale of the Vansishing Sleeping Baby

Not so long ago and not so far away lived a sweet little baby that was always content. He smiled and he ate and he slept like a champ until one day an evil witch cast a spell on him. It was a cocktail of a curse with a dash of teething, a splash of…

Reclaiming Pasta Night with Jovial Foods

Pasta gets a bad rap. Pasta contains wheat and wheat contains gluten and gluten is bad. But that is not all entirely true. Without getting into a lot of the science here’s why pasta gets a bad rap. Over thousands of years wheat has been transforming. Most of the wheat we eat today is a…

Kids Eating More Vegetables

Our Family Goal for 2012 is to Eat Less Meat – I think as Americans we eat too much meat. So this year I will be adding more kid-friendly vegetarian recipes to our weekly meal plan. So far everything I’ve tried has been a success, we’ve increased our vegetable intake and I can already feel…

Jude’s Attempt at Breaking a Guinness World Record

My child is crazy and I love it. You seriously never know what to expect when he walks into the room. Today while I was playing on the floor with Noah, Jude walked into the room wearing only a pair of pajama pants. He needed my help turning the matching top right side out. After…

Papa Murphy’s Take and Bake Pizza

Every Week we have a pizza night. We typically go with the easy and affordable choice of a frozen pizza and occasionally we order a pizza for delivery but rarely do I make a pizza from scratch. However, my favorite pizzas are the ones from scratch because I can make it just how I want…
