A Tale of Two Tails: Family Wanted!

Posted by trisha haas on

week ago someone came to our door, two kittens abandoned in a neighborhood construction site. Its a tale that happens on a daily basis in this city. And although we are an adoptive pet family of 5, we knew that we could not sleep that night knowing there were two helpless babies outside alone. After...

Peg Perego Rialto Booster Chair

Posted by Courtney Lopez on

We needed a space saving highchair for on the go.  Something compact and functional and of course safe for baby.  So when Peg Perego sent us the Rialto to review we knew it would be a perfect fit for our needs.  We already love our Peg Perego Siesta Highchair so much – we knew that the Rialto would also be another favorite baby gear item.

One of them main reasons we wanted the Rialto was it offers so much for it’s tiny size.

Raw Apple Cider

Posted by Courtney Lopez on

Raw Apple Cider is made by blending delicious fresh apples in a blender. A healthy whole juice recipe. Who doesn’t love apple cider? After we go apple picking we love making our Raw Apple Cider Recipe!

Having a child with multiple allergies can have it’s  heartbreaking moments.  I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve eaten something and Sweet Baby tries to eat from my plate instead of hers.  It kills me, every single time.  She used to say “My nummy nums!” and now her new thing is “haaam”.   We don’t eat ham often and I don’t remember the last time we did, but whenever she wants to eat something, “haaam”! It’s too darn cute.  I wish I could feed her anything and everything.. and my hope is one day she won’t have FPIES.   Most children outgrow FPIES by age 3.. so fingers crossed ya’ll.   Until then she knows if I don’t allow her to have it she just says “no, no, no’.. Like I said.. heartbreaking.

There’s those horrible moments when I can’t share everything with her, then there’s the best moments when we can enjoy something together.  Food is just more fun when it’s enjoyed with someone else.  Who wants to eat all alone?  I love company.  Family, food, friends, it all makes life complete.  Some days I just feel as if food is just fuel.. and then there’s days like just last week where Sweet Baby and I enjoyed her first “cider”.  While she could probably have apple cider it’s not something I really want to waste a trial on.  (We have to trial each and every food – there’s no test or treatment for FPIES) So we got creative in the kitchen with our Vitamix and baby’s safe foods.  The end result was quite delicious, healthy, and full of love.

Lemon Pepper Tuna Salad with Ocean Naturals Wild Premium Tuna

We paired Oceans Naturals Wild Premium Tuna with gorgeous peppers, a colorful and healthy lunch that is naturally delicious.  Most if not all of our food is organic or local.  We’re very health conscious about what we put into our body these days, after all it’s the only one you get in this lifetime.   I’ve shared other healthy tuna recipes before as we’re big fans of tuna and it eat quite often about 2-3 times a month.  Tuna is always the main ingredient in any tuna recipes that we come up with.

Another thing we really appreciate is with Ocean Naturals you can learn more about where your specific tuna came from by visiting their website and entering the code on the can.  I don’t know about you but I like to know where my food comes from!
