How and When to Introduce Babes to Solid Food
Editor’s Note: Happy Friday the 13th! This morning we have Dr. Amy Wells on the subject of solid food introduction – a big step in the life of our tiny people. Here she is:
As my newest little man is watching my every mouthful of food, I’m wondering how he’s going to hold out for solids for another [...]
Family Eats – Kitchen Tools 4 Family Cooking Fun
My kiddos each have a preference for certain tasks in the kitchen. Wearing their aprons and standing on their designated stools, they have mastered many duties and discovered their kitchen karma.
My youngest, E, loves to peel, cut and stir literally everything.
My oldest, K, is a precise measurer and is the self-professed best recipe finder. She [...]
Mom Poll – Tips to Sneak In Food Kids Won’t Eat
It’s the ultimate parenting dilemma – how to get your kids to eat healthy foods.
There’s always the theory that if you never give things like candy and cookies, pizza and McDonalds to them that kids will never know what they are missing – until a friend of yours catches your kiddo in the corner [...]
Winter Nutrition From The Grocery “Garden”
Another new year! But with the remnants of snow it is hardly a time to be gardening. So I thought we’d take a look at a few common foods available at the grocery “garden!”
Typically the new year ushers in new year’s resolutions, and eating healthier is a common goals after the onslaught of Christmas [...]
Local Fresh Bread – Wheat- & Gluten-Free

But, as usual, [...]

The Importance of Nutrition in a Child’s Development

I was never quite sure what the heck my parents meant by that enduring little phrase until our tiny person showed up and NOTHING became more painful than to watch her slug through a horrible bout of sickness.
I’m not one to pound a huge whack [...]
101 Uses for Hemp Milk
A while back, after CVK mom Reesh recommended Hemp Milk, I started doing a bit of research into it all.
Cow milk is no friend to us, and the whole goat’s milk our daughter has been downing for a year or so is now – I’m told – a bit too fatty for her to drink [...]
“Green” Meat
OK, the first thing you think of when you see a post titled Green Meat is nothing edible, for sure.
