My Favorite Straw Cups for Toddlers
We have all of these cups & have been using them for a while now so I feel like I can give my honest opinion on all of them. We began using straw cups when we started solids so that we could provide water while she ate. I also found that since she was using them so often we had ZERO issues when it came time at 12 months to completely drop bottles! This was one of our first straw cups Mackenzie used! We’ve only ever used it for water & it’s worked out great. I’ve never had any issues with it leaking and she can drop it without it…

Brand Highlight: Why We Love Serenity Kids!
This is in no way a sponsored post, just sharing the brands we love with you! We have had Serenity Kids in our house since Mackenzie began solids. When we started I knew I wanted to do baby led weaning, but soon found out a mix of both purees & BLW was the right fit for our family. I found Serenity Kids via instagram & loved that there were no preservatives in their pouches & that they were shelf stable. That meant I could easily keep one or two pouches in my diaper bag if I needed food for Mackenzie while we were out. I said from the beginning I…

Incredibly Easy 3 Ingredient Applesauce Using a Food Mill
This is the EASIEST applesauce you’ll ever make as long as you have a food mill. I didn’t own one until last Christmas when I was gifted one by my in-laws so I could specifically make applesauce. It might seem silly to have a piece of equipment for one thing, but if you have a kid who likes applesauce, then a food mill is a must have! You could also use your food mill for grinding or pureeing foods such as sauces or soups. It can be used hot or cold. I’ve only used it to make applesauce, but I’ll be sure to use it in other ways in the…
