I guess you could say I was a pretty picky eater growing up. I pretty much avoided onions in anything. I still ate salsa, but I only dipped the chips straight in and straight back out again so that none of the chunks of onions (or other veggies) could get on my chip! I’ve almost completelyContinue Reading..
Money Saving Spice Cabinet Solutions
I think I have too many spices. Is 35 too many? Ok, so maybe I actually have 41 due to duplicates. At least I’m no longer in denial. 😉 If you’re like me, and you hoard spices, this post is for you. Do you have a cupboard full of spices that you rarely touch? Do youContinue Reading..
Finger Foods for Babies with Few Teeth
Both of my girls were late teethers. Sofía’s first tooth came in at 10 1/2 months and Bella’s first tooth came in only a bit before that. So when it came down to food they could eat that was not pureed, it became a bit tricky. Or so I thought. Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links. If youContinue Reading..
Songs We Love: “A Bushel and a Peck”
One of my most favorite things about my 2 1/2 year old is that she sings full songs. Sometimes she even changes the lyrics just like her papi does! She sings the alphabet, “You Are My Sunshine”, “B-I-N-G-O”, and “Mary Had a Little Lamb” all without skipping a beat. I LOVE it! One of ourContinue Reading..
Save Moolah on Groceries with Substitutions
Years ago, when I first started cooking, I taught myself how to cook by reading recipes and following them to the T. It’s actually a very effective way to cook if you have a great recipe. Not so much if the recipe is terrible! After much trial and error, I am now to the pointContinue Reading..
Poor Man’s Bread
Our focus lately has been on saving more money. One of the most effective ways to do that with pretty immediate results is through a grocery budget. So a couple weeks ago, we got more serious about bread-making. While I would love to make bread every morning, it just doesn’t happen. My husband has actuallyContinue Reading..
Kids and Food: Emotional Eating
A couple months ago, my family and I went to an open house for The Festival of Trees. As we were wrapping up and about to strap our toddler into the stroller, she started having a little tantrum. She still wanted to run around. A nice older lady swiftly came running to our aid…with candy.Continue Reading..

How to Get Started with Baby Sign Language
I’m one of those stay-at-home moms that likes doing things the old-school way, like cloth diapering and making baby food. Makes sense then that I couldn’t help myself when I heard about baby sign language the first time. My baby was going to learn it and we were going to communicate before she could ever talk. SoContinue Reading..
5 Easy Swaps for Throwing a Birthday Party on a Small Budget
We celebrated baby Bella’s first birthday last weekend. It was supposed to be a “You Are My Sunshine” theme, but it turned into a lemon/no-theme-at-all-really theme very quickly. It really didn’t matter the theme, though, because the birthday girl got to enjoy her cake for a really (and I’m talking really) long time. As longContinue Reading..
How I Fill My Freezer Without Doing Any Freezer Cooking Days
I bet you know at least a couple people or more who do freezer cooking days once or twice a month. They do this to save both time and money in the future, and it pays off for the most part. But what about those of us who don’t have a big chest freezer? IContinue Reading..
9 Things That Can Help You to Improve and Intentionally Change
I was gung-ho the minute 2014 rolled around to start working on myself. Two seconds later I dropped off that cliff and plateaued. Then something amazing happened Easter weekend. Actually a series of events happened before that, but I didn’t do anything about it until Easter. I got the creative juices flowing for my blog.Continue Reading..
Kids and Food: Eat Your Veggies
Parents tend to say the same thing about their kids when it comes to food: “My kids are terrible eaters. They hate anything that is green or otherwise looks like a vegetable.” Besides the fact that many kids don’t eat all their dinner (which I attribute to not having a strict snacking schedule), they justContinue Reading..
How to Make Rutabaga {or Swede} Puree for Baby
I am a big believer in feeding babies variety. My little Bella turns 1 soon, and she will have tried 50+ foods by that time. Rutabaga is just one of them. Before doing a feeding schedule for introducing new foods to Bella, I had no idea what a rutabaga was. I had seen them atContinue Reading..
