We have had a wild few weeks in this household! We traveled the very tip of Maine with a mostly potty trained toddler to visit family before the new baby comes. We have been working on getting the last few house projects finished that we’ve been putting off since our post Harvey flood remodel. And…
Cooking with Toddlers: Oatmeal Edition
Some common complaints I hear about cooking with kids is that it takes too much time, everyone leaves frustrated, knives are scary, it doesn’t always taste as good or look as good as without help, and they’re not sure where to start. Let’s start with the basics. When to start. ASAP The sooner you get…
