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…

Let’s give it a go. What did one toilet say to another? “You look flushed.” Now that we’ve chuckled a little, let’s…

Pregnancy Belly Butter

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. That’s why I use this natural pregnancy belly butter for…

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…

Cheap Textbooks That Give Back

January 28, 2013 By Jelli 2 Comments

I don’t know about you, but when I was in university, I was first in line the moment the used textbooks section of the bookstore opened up. The way I look at it, if you’re not going to keep the book for longer than a few months, why pay full price? Sure, books might have…

How to Easily Roll Out Pie Crusts

December 16, 2012 By Jelli 8 Comments

Let’s face it, rolling out pie crusts is not much fun. That’s why Pillsbury makes millions every year stashing their pre-made pie crusts in the refrigerator section of nearly every grocery store in America. During the holidays, pies are everywhere.
