March 20, 2013 By Jelli 14 Comments

New parents usually find out they have a lot to learn as soon as their blessing baby arrives on the scene. For us, that was especially true. I mean, Summer Elizabeth was born to a mama who’d never ever held a child under 2 years old, let alone change a diaper. Now you see why…

Toddler Mini Meal Ideas

March 11, 2013 By Jelli 6 Comments

My toddler eats mini meals four times per day. Most of the time, all her little girl meals vary nutritionally but generally include protein, whole grains, and fruits or vegetables. Since I know I’m not the only mom out there who lacks mealtime inspiration from time to time, I thought I’d snap a few photos…

Last week we went a little crazy and had some fun with Jello play. It was messy & sticky and smelled amazing like only raspberry and lime gelatin can. Summer Elizabeth loved playing out in the front yard scooping Jello from container to container, throwing it into the air, and squishing it around with her…

Jumping First

February 17, 2013 By Jelli 5 Comments

Last month, I shared about our first steps into potty training. We went in pretty blind, with only the information I’d found online. If I had it to do over again, I would’ve stopped and prayed first. In all things we do in life, God gives us wisdom and guidance if we take the time…

Pregnancy Belly Butter

February 4, 2013 By Jelli 29 Comments

pregnancy belly butter recipe

I’m a sucker for skincare products. There’s just something luxurious about silky smooth skin. My preference for natural skin care products that don’t contain chemicals, colorings, and ingredients that I can’t pronounce is especially true during pregnancy, when I’m growing a sweet innocent baby inside.

How to Prep Oranges for Baby // Mommy-Brain Mixer

January 30, 2013 By Jelli 13 Comments

Our house was full of toddler energy last week, two one-year olds curious as can be, exploring their world and playing together…when they weren’t snoozing. We babysat Summer’s little friend. His mama packed him lunch, including mandarin oranges, which I’d never given Summerbeth. I was curious about giving her an orange, concerned about seeds and…

A girl’s gotta have a few healthy pregnancy desserts on the menu to satisfy those sugar cravings. Is it just me, or do those come every single day? For the…
