What is your baby’s nutrition worth to you?

Today’s guest post comes to us from Emma Claire at CookNovel who writes about baby food recipes so that you can make your baby food right at home.

When our children were little (today, at the time of this post they are 8, 6 and 3 respectively), we used the BEABA Babycook steam cooker/blender to make our baby food. We put the food in ice cube trays and put them in the freezer and pulled them out when we needed them.

Making food for our children without preservatives and all of the extras of store-bought food off of the shelf helped us feel good about what our children ate while growing at such critical stages in their brain development. Even to this day, we only buy Horizon brand organic milk with DHA labeled on the container.

The nutrition our children receive is one of the most important decisions a parent can make. We hope you can use some of these recipes for your own little ones. Thanks for the great article, Emma.

Enjoy.

5 Delicious wholesome homemade baby food recipes for your baby

When it comes to your baby, there’s no such thing as “trying too hard”, particularly when it comes to their food.

Cooking your baby’s food at home might take some extra time, which can be a problem for busy parents but there are several good reasons why you should consider homemade and wholesome baby food.

1. Since you’re the one that makes the food, you’ll know exactly what your baby is eating, down to the last ingredient. No preservatives, no colorants, no extra sugar. Just want you chose to eat.
2. It can be more affordable. This is not always the case but high-quality, organic, pre-packaged baby food tends to be pretty expensive. Luckily, making your own baby food can help you cut on the costs.
3. You can personalize your baby’s food based on what they like. This can help you gradually introduce new things in their diets, take out the foods they don’t like and eliminate any allergy risks.
4. You can share your food with your baby by making their food with similar ingredients as the one you used for your family’s dinner, saving time and money!

Storing homemade baby food

If there’s a downside to homemade baby food is the fact that it doesn’t keep as long as pre-packed food.

There are two ways you can store baby food, in the freezer or the fridge.

Fridge

You can store your homemade baby food in the fridge for up to 48 hours, as long as you keep it in an airtight container.

Freezer

You can also freeze your baby food so it lasts from 1-3 months.

The best way of doing this is not adding liquids (such as milk or broth) to the food until it’s time to eat it:

• Puree the base of your baby food and freeze it in ice cube trays.
• Take out only the baby food cubes you’ll need. (1 cube is optimal for young babies)
• Thaw the pureed baby food and integrate the liquids
• Reheat and serve

The joy of painting is best understood through the eye and hearts of children.

Painting opens up a world of color and communication for kids and is a fantastic means for them to create. These craft ideas demonstrate that there are many easy and exciting alternative options to utilizing a paintbrush for your kids to explore the world of art and expression.

String Painting

String painting is straightforward and is a smart way for youngsters to pattern paint. You simply wrap some string around a small wooden block (this may very well be a building block that your kids play with). A square or rectangle shape is best, however ensure that it’s large enough for the child to hold easily. To help in your kid’s learning, it’s best to have a number of completely different sizes handy. Prepare some paint and pour it into some old polystyrene trays or any tray that you can afford to use for lots of painting activities. Dip the block into the paint and press on the paper. Make any patters you like and use as many colors you like and viola, you’re finished!

Marble Painting

Marble painting is another method for children to have fun and also build their hand eye coordination skills while creating completely different patterns. Prepare some paint and put it in a container that has deep sides, such as an old baking tray or a shallow cardboard box. The top of a shoe box is a wonderful example, provided that it’s still sturdy and intact. Put some paper in the bottom of the tray with a small quantity of paint (you can use two or three different colors at a time). Drop a marble in the tray and let the kids move the marble backwards and forwards, sideways and so on, to create their very own work of art.

Finger Painting

Finger painting develops a child’s sensory skills as they feel and touch the paint. Put some paint on an old table and let the kids put their fingers in it and make their very own designs. If you don’t have an old table that you can use, then you may always put some plastic on the table and this will suffice.

Please keep in mind that you should use paints are easily washed off surfaces and fingers with hot soapy water and read the label on the paint you are using with your children to be sure. Once the children have completed their painting, put a piece of paper on top and peel it off. Put it somewhere to dry after which they have a print of their artwork work to display around the house.

Here are some other fast ideas and alternate options that your children might take pleasure in that may also be used for printing…

Cotton, Sponges and Cardboard

• Cotton ball painting can encourage kids to paint in a completely different way, which develops fantastic motor skills.
• Cotton wool has a completely different feel and texture to it.
• Paint rollers are fun to use on large rectangular areas. So this may be excellent for instance, if you’re planning on painting a cardboard fort or large surface areaa.
• Cotton reels and corks can be used for pattern painting.
• Sponges cut into different shapes might be a good way to recycle and you can use each their rough and smooth sides in painting. Some examples of shapes you can use are rectangles and circles and a diamond or star. You can also buy sponge shapes from a good toy or art supply store, or you can order them from educational supply magazines as well.
• Other ideas include the cardboard rolls inside household foil and plastic wrap or wrapping paper tubes after you’re finished with the wrapping paper, plastic forks or jar lids.

Just remember, its not out the outcome but the process and experience getting there. So let those artistic juices flow and the minds of your children will expand with a newfound appreciation for art.

What kind of household items do you use with your children when it it time for them to put down their technology devices like an iPad or turn off the TV? Please share your experience and thoughts with us.

Sound the alarm. Slide down the pole. Grab your gear. We’re ready to roll with these free free firefighter birthday party printables.

This year we are planning a superhero themed party for our son, which is very odd, since last year, we had a firefighter birthday party for him and I swore I wasn’t going to throw him a big party again. I have always said, I’m not a big birthday party mom. So, here we are, planning a party for our little guy and I felt the need to share how awesome his 3rd birthday party was.

First, it was a super inexpensive party. We called our local fire department and scheduled a FREE tour, then had some friends back to our house for our quaint little firefighter birthday party.

At home, I set up the firefighters snack bar with some $5 pizzas from Little Caesars. Luckily, for November the weather was amazing and we were able to let the kids play outside. Our backyard was not even close to being done, but because it was a party full of boys the large amount of dirt was perfect for 3 and 4 year-old boys.

We filled up firefighter hats that we picked up off of Amazon.com with some fun little things like stickers and mini coloring books and gave them away to each of the boys. At the fire station, they gave all the kids pencils and safety handouts. For the snack bar, we set up we had fire truck tires (chocolate mini donuts), water hoses (red vines), life savers (literally life savers candy), match sticks (stick pretzels), “stop, drop, and tootsie rolls” (tootsie rolls and lollipops), fire balls (the candy), fire hydrants (juice boxes) and fire house poles (cheese sticks). Finally, I made cupcakes and let the kids sprinkle sugar all over them.

Firefighter Birthday Party

And that was it. It was a very low budget and easy party to set up. We had a blast and we hope you will enjoy the firefighter birthday party printables we’ve included with this post to throw your own firefighter party.

We hope these printable firefighter birthday party printables make planning a firefighter-themed birthday party much more creative and a lot easier.

Is my Monster Wreath a Pinterest win or Pinterest fail?

Recently, I saw a pin on Pinterest from Baby Rabies that showcased a Tulle Monster Wreath tutorial.

Like all modern moms, I decided to try my hand at something I found on Pinterest to see how it might turn out and also thought it might be something fun to do with the kids. So, I took a shot at it.

While working on this craft project, I found that my kids (ages 6 yrs., 3 yrs., and 9 months) lost interest quickly. However, I was determined to make it work and kept at it. Overall, it took an hour or two to put together and it is something that we can now leave on our door during October, adding to our other festive decorations we have out front.

Here’s what some of my Facebook friends had to say about it:

[block_quote cite=’- Rebecca T.’] Turned out great! [/block_quote] [block_quote cite=’- Jenna K.’] Love this! [/block_quote] [block_quote cite=’- Anonymous’] It looks like a deformed Muppet, but I think it looks better than the original. [/block_quote]
