It’s getting warmer here in Southern California and it seems that any time the temperature gets above 72 degrees my boys start asking for popsicles and ice cream. Usually we get them those mighty mini pops from the store that are roughly the size of a postage stamp (not too much sugar) and are labeled

Feeding Your Hungry Baby!
This is my baby boy. He’s 7 months but people constantly tell me he looks like he’s at least a year. Maybe that’s because he’s very tall and has the appetite of a 17 year old boy! The time came quickly when he started grabbing at our food. We were having brunch at a cozy

Back To School: Peanut Butter Burrito
Apple Roll Up Ok moms, don’t start a letter writing campaign. I understand that many schools don’t allow any kind of nut on campus, let alone peanut butter. But there are schools at there that do, and if yours doesn’t, this would be a tasty after school snack. I like it because it’s different than

Back To School: Super Star Lunch
