Mother's Day.
Whew. I don't know about the rest of you but that was a busy weekend. But a pretty good one at that. I got to see some family I haven't seen in forever. I got to spend time with my mom and my babies which is what Mother's day is all about! We also celebrated my papaw's birthday! It was great but busy lots of running around. Also finally get to show the gifts I made for my mom and mother in laws. Here are some pictures of the Mother's day weekend.
These were fun to make I made three of Lydia's hand and Three of Masons. I could of did them a lot better. Like cut them out better and painted them myself that way the hand print would not of been painted. My oven is also broke so I had to do these in my toaster oven which was awesome however all the grandmothers liked them a lot so it was worth it. I also totally forgot to make me one for myself so this week I am going to make some more and do them way better. But it was a great idea and easy to make. Hopefully my son will do better next time around as in not freaking out any time he stuck his hand in. Any cool crafts you did for mothers day?
It was a great weekend filled with smiles, hugs and kisses. It was a great weekend to not so great week. I have been dealing with a lot of emotion on having a 3rd baby. If anyone is going through anything with troubles having another baby most importantly don't forget to communicate with others especially your spouse. I can't wait to grow a bigger family with my husband and when the time is right it will happen. This coming up weekend I can not wait we are going to the zoo for Mason's nicu reunion. Also my husband and I going to dinner and movie for a date night. Another busy weekend! but its going to be a awesome one. What plans do you have coming up? I hope everyone has a great week! and wishing all my mommies a late Happy Mothers Day and I hope every day is like mothers day to you!

Catching up this Monday.
Went to the grocery and I got my whole family new food. On the road to eating healthier than what we already did. Now no more boxed or frozen dinner meals. I pride myself on my kids who have always had better food at no cost. But I decided my husband and I can not eat bad either because we are not getting any younger. Plus my children are now eating dinner with us so they need to see us as an example. My kids have no idea what fast food restaurants there are unless for the rare occasion we are out and have to stop somewhere quick. I started cooking Saturday for our new meals and so far it's been awesome. Besides the quesadillas I made first for them on lunch I have taken pictures of the stuff I have been trying.
Toddler Trail Mix.
I choose these four because Walmart did not have granola or the sally's organic cereal. Since we was in hurry I couldn't really sit and figure out what else to use. So I used white cheddar goldfishes, Yogurt melts,raisins and honey scoops. I bought a huge bag of the cereal because we go through it a lot lately. But the kids loved the mix of snacks. But next time I will add peanuts.
FROZEN BAN-OLA
This was hard to make. But the kids liked it . I didn't get a picture of the done product but I need a better way to do this. Also I won't freeze it again ( I didn't have granola and had to use cereal) I think I will just feed it to them fresh. But this is very good! I had to buy a lot of bananas this week for everything I am making and I still feel like I should've bought more.
Healthy cookies .
These was simple to make but I am not sure I like the recipe I used. I think I need to add eggs and not make them as big as I did. Also not store in the fridge and Bake for longer. But all of these meals I making are trial and error so I can do it better next time. But besides that my kids loved it. They ate every bit of it. My son likes it more than my daughter. But I am going to keep putting it in front of her till she gives it a chance some more I am sure she will love it.
Lunch for Today.
I made the Veterinarian Soup with no added water. Then the wafers with banana peanut butter and sprinkles. These were also hard to make getting the peanut butter on the thin slice of banana was terrible but I did it and the kids freaked off of them. This meal was a hit!
We are on the road to a healthier way of life. Not that we wasn't before but I wasn't putting enough thought into what we was all eating and I am a stay at home mom I have to be known of the meals and snacks I make for the kids! haha. So I am trying harder and the kids my husband are liking it so far! What kinds of things are you making for your kiddos that could help me out?
My new thing.
I have always went there and helped out at the Meade County Clothes Closet . Its where I am from and the people are nice. Now I have been going there and picking up Lydia and Mason some books or play clothes. The money goes to a great organization and you get great stuff. So now I am giving into the thrift stores like goodwill or what have you to pick up the kids some play clothes or pots and pans anything that I don't mind having 2nd handed . It's cheap and you find great things. and you are helping out your community by doing it. Anywhere you like to go for 2nd hand stuff ? Any great buys lately?
New show.
So Lydia is obsessed with this show. Thankfully it is on Netflix. It's a PBS show so its really educational for her to watch which I do not argue with. It's a littler over her head but she sings with it and she always wants to read after watching it. Check it out with you kiddos see how they like it!
Besides enjoying new food
We have been busy!!! Busy every weekend this month and the first weekend of June. But enjoying the outdoors. Maybe doing a camping trip at our families farm to test out how we and the kids will do at it. I think the kids are going to love it! Anything you got planned with your family this summer? Everyone have a great and stress free week!
Have a laugh on me.

Lydia and Mason's Kitchen.
My not so picky kids started being picky again. I wouldn't say picky maybe more bored of the food I am making. So I have been looking on sites trying to find healthy and new meals/snacks to make the kids. I love this site Wholesome Toddler Food. Starting next week I will be trying a meal from each other of their section of foods for the kids. I will have a update on this as I finish my week with it. Any food websites you love or do you recommend any fun food ideas toddler's would love?
