Mom Monday {Pink Oatmeal Baby Food}

I have been experimenting with different ingredients for Greyson's baby food lately. I love trying new combos and let's face it, food is just more fun when it's bright pink don't you think? I whipped up a batch of this pink oatmeal for Greyson  yesterday and she loved it! All I did was mix organic rolled oats with some breastmilk (you can use any type of milk) and a tablespoon of my secret ingredient, this organic Pitaya smoothie pack. I made smoothie...READ MORE

Mom Monday {7 months!}

Mommy tales:  I cannot believe Greyson is already 7 months old! How did we get here so fas?  We introduced solid foods at 6 months. After a rocky start she took to most everything I gave her.

Mom Monday {first foods}

So this whole introducing solid foods thing really put me over the edge at first. I had read so many conflicting things about "start with rice cereal" or "don't start with rice cereal", "start with vegetables" or "don't start with vegetables", etc. I started with sweet potatoes, and that was a total fail. Greyson spit it right back out, shivered, made horrible faces, it was super discouraging. Then I made my own rice cereal, using a 4 step process that...READ MORE
