When I was growing up we ate a ton of vegetables. It wasn't really because my family was health conscious, it was more that canned veggies are cheaper than meat and I grew up very poor. I tried to pass the love of veggies on to my children but it only stuck with one of them.  Baby E loves all types of vegetables and many types of fruits. So far the only vegetable he doesnt eat is asparagus and that could honestly just be the way I make it.  He hates oranges but loves orange juice so I think its a texture thing.  Little M has to be persuaded into eating anything healthy. I try to make at least two vegetables with each meal besides … [Read more...]

I am sure that if you have never seen Peppa Pig on Nick Jr., you are missing out!  Peppa has become a new staple in our household. My son loves his plush Peppa Pig toy and makes me squeeze it again and again. She oinks and laughs and tells him she loves hugs. I was given a huge poackage of Peppa Pig items to review for my son. I got an assortment of the new Peppa Pig playsets from Fisher Price, a Peppa Pig plush doll, a Peppa Pig DVD featuring 10 “peppasodes”, and the new book Peppa Pig and The Lost Christmas List.

Moody Bands Review

August 10, 2012 by 2 Comments

When I heard about Moody Bands, I knew that Little M would love something like that. He is so 'cool' so he would think they were the best thing ever. The makers of Moody Bands want to teach children to identify with their emotions as well as the emotions of others. I know that Little M already knows what his emotions are since he is 10 but I think its cool to wear your emotions on your sleeve.  Little M said that he would wear the Excited and Nervous ones on the first day of school. Another reason I wanted to get the Moody Bands is for Baby E.  It's a great, interactive way for him to learn what the different emotions are. I think … [Read more...]
