‘Food before one is just for fun’ with Amara Organics
The world of baby food can be so confusing. More times than I can count, I see parents feeding their Little’s baby food or rice cereal before they are supposed to be ingesting anything other than breast milk or formula. Why is this? Among the top answers: moms said they thought their baby was old enough to start eating solids, their baby seemed hungry a lot of the time, believed their doctor or another health care professional said their baby should start eating solids. Giving your baby solid food too soon has been linked to a higher risk of obesity and diabetes, according to the study. Also, “starting infants on solids before 4 months…

Chicken Noodle Immune Soup
“Chicken noodle soup, chicken noodle soup, chicken noodle soup with a soda on da side….” am I the only one who hears this song when I make chicken noodle soup? The weather here is freezing cold and we had the promise of snow on Saturday. Sadly, it rained right before the flurries started falling so it didn’t stick. Our kids were devastated that they couldn’t use their new ski bibs (you MUST check out the huge sale that’s happening over on the Target website, I got the kids theirs for $9 each!) We passed the time by making different crafts, playing with legos and cooking some of our favorite comfort…

Turmeric and Bonafide Provisions bone broth goodness
Cold and flu season has attacked my household pretty bad this year. Nolan started school and has brought home every single cold and bug you can think of. While I am happy that with each one, it builds our immune systems a little more, I am so over being sick!

Turmeric and bone broth are two things that everyone should have permanently stocked in their pantries. Turmeric is a healing spice with many health benefits. It can be used to help as a decongestant, liver detox, cancer preventive,…

Oat Mama Love
I often get asked about breastfeeding and producing “enough” milk. I’ve shared a lot of tricks like drinking lots of water, taking fenugreek tablets and applying fennel to your breasts but y’all, eating Oat Mama bars is at the top of my milk producing list! I started eating these the same month that Scarlet Reese was born and I have had an abundance of milk since! I pump all the extra milk that she doesn’t drink and I actually donated most of it to a friend in need. I am currently rebuilding my stash and I’d like to give a big thanks to Oat Mama for helping me do so!…

Cranberry Relish with Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides
I received these products in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Read my disclaimer page for more information. One of things that I do daily and enjoy immensely is cooking! Growing up, I never had family dinners. It was always something that I longed for and now that I have my own family, I look forward to them. Sometimes it’s crazy but giving my loved ones a hot meal that I prepared warms my heart. With Thanksgiving around the corner, I find myself planning our meal with one of my sisters. The holidays are always crazy because my mother and father are divorced, leading me to normally have…
