My friend had her baby a few months ago and she is just getting ready to start feeding her baby solid foods. She asked me my advice on jarred food and homemade baby food - and I was more than happy to give her some advice. I always knew I wanted to make my own baby food, but working full time and taking two graduate courses left me feeling a little less than enthusiastic about going home and steaming some veggies. Don't get me wrong, my weekend ...

Add a Modern Twist to Your Home Decor
I knew that when I got married and moved into my own home I would have a more modern flair when it came to home decor. There are so many ways that you can think about this, and you might find yourself looking to a roofing contractor one moment and a decorator the next, just to make sure you’ve got all the bases covered. My hubby and I share the same style so it was easy to choose items that fit our personality. I know that when it comes to the ...
Personalize Your Baby’s Pacifiers with MAM!
Choosing the right pacifier for your little one may not be as easy as you think. Babies have their own preferences and just because a pacifier worked well for your first doesn't mean it will be the best fit for your little one. Personally, my little one went through 5 different types of pacifiers before she found one she liked. I was just about to give up on even giving her a pacifier, but her pediatrician recommended it to ease her colic and ...
Baby Shower Feature: Baby Brezza!
Last weekend I had the opportunity to give a Baby Brezza to a great friend of mine for her baby shower. I was very excited about this opportunity since I had discussed baby food making with her and this was something she was interested in. Since I used what I already had in my kitchen to make wholesome baby food, I never experienced the ease of having an all in one baby food maker. I didn't think it was necessary, until I started reading up on ...
Yummy Frozen Entrees with Earth’s Best
I'm not big on prepackaged foods, but there are times when convenience overrules! My little girl can have her picky ways, and I have to get creative about getting healthy foods in her belly. Just recently I came across Earth's Best frozen entrees at my local supermarket and I had to try them out. I found Mac n Cheese, Mini Cheese Bagel Bites, Mini Ravioli, and Whole Grain Pizza. The difference between frozen foods and canned foods is usually ...
Clorox Clean-Up #RecipesForFun!
My little girl is getting old enough to enjoy spending time in the kitchen with me. It all started with a cute chef's hat and apron set she received for her birthday and spiraled after that. Now we are in the kitchen almost everyday together and she watches as I prepare meals. I let her join in on the fun when we are baking - but it requires A LOT of patience on my part. She is messy - VERY VERY messy! I constantly remind myself that she is only ...
Seventh Generation features The Lorax by Dr Seuss (Giveaway!) @SeventhGen #MyBlogSpark
There has been a lot of talk surrounding the upcoming release of Dr. Seuss' movie: The Lorax. My little one saw a taxi cab in the city with a picture of The Lorax on it and hasn't stopped talking about it since. I personally had never read the story or heard much about the movie, except the fact that it contained a very strong and important message. Each time my daughter has seen a picture or ad for The Lorax she would ask who the Lorax is and ...
Zumba Fitness Rush for Kinect Review!
Zumba has really taken off the past two years and if you haven't taken a Zumba class yourself, then I am sure you know someone who has! Having a toddler and a hubby that usually comes home late means I rarely have time in the evening between dinnertime and bed time to actually leave the house. It is awesome to know that I can bring the same experience of Zumba to my living room and get a great workout! Since I cannot personally review the ...
