f you have a child who has limited his or her food choices to pasta with white sauce you may be dealing with a picky eater.

I’m telling ya…it can be completely overwhelming when trying to figure out the best formula for your child. I believe that breastfeeding is the mots beneficial for your babies development but there are times when breastfeeding just isn’t goin well…or your child is suffering from serious allergies, or maybe your child has a hard time breastfeeding so your supply doesn’t come in as strong as needed.

I thought I’d help a momma, daddy, grandma, grandpa, aunt, uncle, caretaker out and get some new, fresh ideas out there in case we are quarantined once again.

I am assuming there are MANY parents out there in the same boat so I wanted to share some recipes my three kiddos LOVE.
know for my household, my kiddos LOVE to have their food as a “grab and go” rather than sit, cut up the food, and slowly eat your meal. They want to eat their meal and get back to playing as soon as possible. Finger foods are great for this situation and I have MANY ideas to help you with this exact type of child.
Who would have thought we would be in a situation where our safety and the safety of our loved ones was in jeopardy due to a world pandemic?

Here are a few resources to help get you started.
EXHAUSTION…Ah, there is that word! That word is one I didn’t allow to enter into my mind as I gave birth to my third child. I have been down this road and I know how this ends…and exhaustion is NOT going to take over this time.
