Yay! My kid is eating something that he likes and it's not just macaroni!
So, a vegan, a wannabee-vegetarian, and two little picky sometimes-vegetarian/sometimes-meat-atarians walk into a restaurant…..
Okay, so here’s another post about feeding my family. Why? Because finding something that we all can eat, and that my little humans will actually eat, is an accomplishment! The struggle is real!

Hey busy parents! Hey busy single people! Hey lazy-cookers! Hey people who care about kinda-heatlhy eating! Hey people who fit more than one of those categories! Okay, so that would be me (except the single people part). Sooooooo, I'm always ridiculously busy and am always struggling to find a good healthy meal for the kids. Cuz honestly, if it weren't for them, I'd probably just be eating Ramen noodles and pizza rolls every night (yum!). And, then, add on top of that my hatred for cooking and all things involved in prepping to cook. Well, I do have ONE go-to meal that I can rely on and not feel guilty about. Which is good because I spend a large portion of my waking moments with total mom-guilt about everything (real and imagined).
And yes, there's a gluten-free option or a vegan option, so if that's you, keep reading too!

Gifts for Kids that Won't Clutter Up the House and Eventually End Up in a Landfill
Getting ready for bedtime! (this was years ago)
For most parents (including me), their kids' bedtime is a glorious and magical time of day. You have had a long day of being all about someone else (or a bunch of someone elses)....and the sun is setting...and it's about to be "you time". So, in all the excitement for you to get a moment to yourself, you may want to rush through bedtime....no judgment, I TOTALLY get it and am guilty of this myself. Well, I've found that even though this idea makes bedtime a little longer, it's totally worth the time investment.

I have a good friend who is pregnant right now (preggers, with child, has a bun in the oven, is in the family way, has a pea in the pod, etc.), so I've been thinking back to my baby days. One thing I have been thinking about is what my best baby book recommendation is for a new mom, and I want to share that with you in case you are pregnant (preggers, with child, have a bun in the oven, are in the family way, have a pea in the pod, etc.) or you have a baby shower to attend and need a gift idea.
