The Odd Eating Habits of a Toddler

0

Feeding an infant > Feeding a toddler. Sometimes I feel like banging my head against my granite counter tops during meal times. What happened to the sweet little cutie that would eat whatever I would puree with gusto? Remember when you thought it was so cute when they had a messy face full of sweet potatoes – those were the days. I can’t even remember the transition of it being cute to thinking: “OMG if she throws peas on the floor one more time and I step on them my head is going to explode!”. Then you find some days…

Healthy Chicken Fingers

0

I’m slightly obsessed with crunchy chicken. Always trying out different recipes, methods of cooking, breading to find the ultimate crunch factor to go with the juicy chicken. This time instead of using regular breadcrumbs, I tried Corn Flakes. Mmmmm me likey. Crunchy and sweet all wrapped into one bite. It gives a fun and different texture then you are used to with chicken fingers PLUS you bake them. None of that greasy oil to clean up or add to your hips. Healthy Chicken Fingers 12 chicken tenders or 4 chicken breasts, cut into tenders 1 egg 1 teaspoon yellow mustard…

A Plea To Nickelodeon

0

For the love of God, Nickelodeon! Where are the ‘Bubble Guppies’ merchandise?! It has been over a year that my lil girl has been obsessed with these mermaid people. She gets into what I call the “Bubble Guppies Trance”. As soon as she hears the ever intoxicating theme song begin, she takes her place in front of the T.V. for the entire 20-something minutes its on with a glazed look over her face and does not move. Well, until they start singing a song she likes and begins to dance. She’s cool like that. Some of you might remember my open…

DIY Herb Planter

0

With my growing affinity for cooking, I’ve come to desire fresh herbs in my dishes as opposed to dried. They truly give your meals the extra flavor it needs to really make those taste buds dance. I figured it was about time that I got my own little herb garden going. My back yard is what some might call fugly. All we have is a BBQ out there; very grim. I needed some plants and flowers to spruce it up. I didn’t want to spend butt loads of money on a specially designed planter, so I try to be as…

Sandals Roundup: Steve Madden Edition

0

I wear sandals every day of the week. I have no shame. Finding a good pair of flats is actually kind of difficult. Some of the styles can get pretty crazy. I am just looking for comfort, color and diversity. Wedges are hot and also my newest obsession. I can’t get too crazy with them because 1. I’ll never wear them as much as I think I would and 2. I’ll be 8 feet tall. But I do splurge on occasion and Steve Madden has some adorable styles that are perfect – and  guess what – on sale. I adore…

Twinsanity!!

0

  Everything is in doubles today! In honor of my sister who gave birth to a set of twin girls Monday, I felt we could use some fun and freaky-weird twin facts to welcome them into our crazy family! Fraternal twins are hereditary. Identical are not. There is a “twin gene” that is passed on by the parents. Thanks mom and dad, for now I am scared shit that you have passed it along to me! Twins can have different dads. Talk about baby daddy drama! Twins usually make there own secret language. Chances of having twins increase as you…
