Toddler Meal Ideas

Chef BoyRDee and Apple Slices

Mac & Cheese, Chicken Nuggets, and Watermelon

So often I have moms ask me what do you do for lunch? They tell me they feel like their kids eat PB&J all the time. Well, I will say my kids WON'T eat PB&J so I have had to come up with other lunch options. ( I know weird right?)

As the mom  of an 18 month and 3.5 year old I have come up with some things that are fairly cheap and easy to make. Here are some ideas for moms out there who are ready for some variety. I usually serve 1 "main dish" and 1-2 "side dishes"

Main Dish

Chicken Nuggets

Mac & Cheese

Chef BoyRDee ( many options and I always do cans much better price)

Spaghettios

Eggs & Toast

Cheese & Crackers

Ramen Noodles or other soup

I know I must be forgetting some as I am currently suffering from prego brain, but these are some ideas to start you out. What things have you been making for your kids at lunch?

Good Morning

Each day is a blessing, but as a mom and wife we can all get a little down and burnt out. I hope I am not the only mom who has mornings that I hit the snooze button or skip my workout because my to do list is just way to long. Sometimes, I'm in such a funk and I just can't get into my "mommy routine"


Well I wanted to share the song that I have been starting my day with everyday for the past few weeks. It really has lifted my spirits. I downloaded it to my ipod so that I can listen to it when I need a 5 minute mommy break. It such an uplifting song that ,even though I lacked sleep last night, instead of dragging myself to the coffee pot this morning I found myself dancing in the living room with my little one.

I LOVE YOGA PANTS!!!!
As a stay at home mom. I tend to wear these all the time. They are so comfortable when you are chasing after kids, crawling on the floor, and riding down the slide. Right now you can head over to Target and purchase them for $10. This a steal if you like to wear these. I typically only find this price on Black Friday so if you like Yoga Pants like I do head on over. Also, I know shipping can kill a good deal, but no fear today you can get them shipped free also.
