Baby Food Menu

At some point all the awesome baby purees you have been making are adding up into a nice freezer stash. You have built a nice selection and it is hard to remember how many times this week you have fed sweet potatoes. My awesome mother in law worked out a menu for our little gal. The menu is still valid when you move from purees to diced items. The meats are always mixed with a fruit, squash, noodle, or combo due to my daughter not liking the texture of meat.



Breakfast:
Cereals
Blueberry in Cereal
Yogurt
Eggs
Toast
Oatmeal Cereal, Zucchini, and Blueberry Pancake

Monday:
Pears
Green Beans
Chicken
Apple
Pineapple
Cauliflower

 Tuesday:
Peaches
Broccoli
Yellow Squash
Chicken 
Noodles

 Wednesday:
Apples
Plums
Butternut Squash
Salmon
Pineapple

 Thursday:
Avocado
Banana
Zucchini
Sweet Potato
Beef
Noodles

 Friday:
Peaches
Peas
Noodles
Carrots
Salmon
Pineapple

 Saturday:
Pears
Pumpkin
Chicken
Broccoli
Zucchini

Sunday:
Avocado
Sweet Potato
Yellow Squash
Beef
Asparagus

 Snacks & Other:
Crackers
Yogurt
Grapes
Mandarin Oranges
Black Beans
Red Lentils


Having a menu is a good starting point. Everyday is different but it is nice to not have to think about what to feed the wee one each day.

Essential Oil Diffuser Necklace

Image
I am a soap maker who uses essential oils. Ive been looking for new items to make and sell at craft shows. When browsing Pinterest one day I found DIY diffuser necklaces. I knew that my customer base prefers all natural items. I found it hard to find clay that was truly all natural. Thankfully another blogger found DAS Air Hardening Clay. After I  received shipment I tested my first batch of pendants. I soon realized they must not be too thin. Several failed to stand up to minor pressure after drying was complete. Here is my fist attempt. I wore it with lavender during the work day. My coworker could smell me and it was strong enough without being overpowering. Very nice to enjoy a calming scent all day. The remaining clay has stayed soft for over a month stored in an air tight plastic bag. I will be making more clay pendants tonight.

Choices Day 2

Today I am giving up donuts and little debbie type snacks. Sadly this is another bad daily habit. Im sure I will see noticeable results dropping these items from daily consumption. Working next to a grocery store is a big part of why this is an ongoing battle. I have managed to avoid delicious donuts in the office break room. Small victories. I am switching to fiber one bars. Overtime I would like to go to something different but going from a 300+ calorie snack down to 140-150 calorie snack is an improvement. Stopping: Day 1: Drinks with sugar. (Current exception is creamer). Day 2: Donuts & little debbie type snacks.

Baby Eczema

My sweet gal broke into a large rash at 5 months old. We took her into the pediatrician to discover she had very dry skin. All the extra baths during the hot humid summer dried her out. We started trying eczema creams. I bought Aveeno and Eucerin brand. Aveeno brand baby eczema cream felt like a slightly thicker lotion and did little to conquer the extremly dry skin. My daughter is sensitive like me so I had been rooting for Aveeno. Then I tried the Eucerin brand baby eczema cream and was very pleased. Thick and not as greasy as I feared. Her skin began to heal with twice per day applications. We also cut baths down to 2-3 times per week.  motherhenandchickar .blogspot.com   Fast forward to my now 23 month old during the winter months. She started to get dry again so I have been putting the Eucerin eczema baby cream on every night with pjs. Her skin has completely healed in a week. We have only given her baths 2-3 times per week since she was five months old. Unless she nee
