9 Tips for Traveling with a Toddler

9 tips for traveling with a toddler

We’re about to jet off on vacation and land onto international grounds. We’ll be landing in Barcelona where we will board a cruise ship and sail off to the Mediterranean for two weeks.  We’re stoked and scared all at the same time.

WallCandy Arts Decal

I’ve been a fan of WallCandy Arts wall decals for a while now. We have their French Bull City Wall Stickers on our son’s bedroom wall. I can’t tell you how much we love that it gave his room the pop of color and life it needed – not to mention how great the quality [...]

Baked Pasta Mash

Every few months when I have a random mismatch of half-full pasta bags in the cupboard I put together a little pasta mash-up.  It’s a combination of different pastas,  whatever veggies I have in the refrigerator and sometimes I’ll cook up some meat to throw in, like ground beef or turkey.

When my sister was little she LOVED tomato soup. I used to hate it, but now as an adult I have grown to love it. Especially with grilled cheese sandwiches. One of Oliver’s favorites lunches is a grilled cheese sandwich. I always try to add a veggie to his grilled cheeses, whether it’s spinach, kale [...]

Roasted apples are the best finger food. And one of the healthiest around. Not only does Oliver love it, I love it too. I even chopped it up and put it into a green salad with balsamic dressing. It’s easy. It’s amazing. Did I mention there’s no added sugar? Yup,  just fresh sweet apples sprinkled [...]
