Snacks for your Littles

Somehow kids are always hungry. You think you’ve fed them enough, and they get down from their high chair and walk right over to the pantry. How is that even possible?!

My little men love food. They eat three meals a day, and then usually two or three snacks in between meals. I’m telling you, it’s a lot of food. I’ve really perfected the art of snacking for little ones though. I used to stare at the pantry and just beg for something healthy to jump out at me. Now I prepare for snacks for the week when I am meal planning and it has made it so much easier!

1. Dairy

When your little one turns one, they drink bottles less and rely more on sippy cups. It can be hard for your little to get the amount of milk they need in a day, and what I’ve found to help with this intake is cheese and yogurt. This is also great for those bigger kids, or ones like my son who don’t drink regular milk (he loves almond milk).

Whole milk yogurt is an excellent choice for your little one starting at the age of 6 months. Our pediatrician actually recommend yogurt as one of the early foods because it contains nutrients such as calcium, protein, and vitamins. I am loving the newly launched Happy Family Whole Milk Yogurt  cups with Vitamin D. These are perfectly sized at 1.7 ounces, and are great for little hands learning to use a spoon. These delicious  and organic yogurts are made with probiotics and filled with beneficial nutrients that will nourish your little ones body.

One of my favorite little hand dairy snacks are cheese sticks, cubed cheese, and sliced cheese (either from the deli or prepackaged.) This is such an easy snack to hand off to your little ones when they get hungry! 
2. Veggies

We start frozen and canned veggies early, and because of it my kids typically ask for veggies over fruit. Trust me, it shocks me too. I love offering my peas, carrots, and green beans straight from the can. For your little teething ones you can offer these frozen–you can always chop them up! If your little one doesn’t like them cold, put in a bowl with a splash or two of water and put in the microwave for 45 seconds. This is such a great way to fill little bellies and get them some great nutrients! 
3. Fruit
As I said before, my little ones prefer veggies over fruit. However, I tend to buy it every week in hopes they will eat it. My weekly shopping list always includes strawberries and blueberries. However if your little one loves fruit stock up on it! I’d love to purchase bananas, apples, oranges–you name it. 
4. Grain

My oldest is a huge fan of popcorn, and although that is typically an evening snack–I don’t like giving popcorn all the time. To get that chip taste these boys love I love offering them Snap Pea chips and Whole Grain cereal. They boys also absolutely love pretzels, so you will see them occasionally eating them for a snack before dinner. 
Try these snacks and tell me what works for you! You can purchase the Happy Family Whole Milk Yogurt at a Walmart near you, and make sure to use your iBotta app to save. Remember a happy start leads to a happier future!

As we pause to give thanks, my heart is filled wit As we pause to give thanks, my heart is filled with gratitude for the amazing family I was given. I recently was blessed with a new brother-in-law and being able to celebrate my sister and him during the week of Thanksgiving was so special. Here's to the shared laughter, comforting embraces, and the unwavering support that make every day a blessing. Happy Thanksgiving! #Family #Thanksgiving
We’ve all asked our kids to clean up after they’ve played. It’s a huge mess, and they don’t even know where to start. I don’t know about you, but tasks like that make me feel overwhelmed and I ask for help from @octiclean or my husband or someone (anyone). I’m not teaching my kids how to clean their room—I’m teaching them that sometimes there are tasks that are way too hard for one person to do on their own. That their is help available, and you just need to ask. 💙
We traveled the world Wednesday, and we’re sick We traveled the world Wednesday, and we’re sick Friday. 🤒 Hear me out though—you or your child can get sick anywhere. Target, a friends house, play gym, school—the list goes on. Yes we MOST LIKELY got sick at Disney, but did we have fun doing it? Yes. After we were locked in the house for that one sickness 3 years ago, I refused to not live. We got that sickness from someone entering our own house, not even being out in the wild. We’ve been to Disney tons of times, cruises, planes, and all the fun things since and honestly we haven’t gotten sick on or from our trips. So here’s to more adventures and stronger immune systems. 😬 Also, lots of vitamin c and all the good meds, cause I don’t say no to that.

We recently moved things around in C’s room. She We recently moved things around in C’s room. She got a new mattress, new princess @potterybarn sheets, and the most perfect blanket. We went to put in her in the bed and she got so upset that she wasn’t sleeping in her crib. Thank goodness I hadn’t taken it apart—I had only moved it to the other side of the room. At this point she’s still in her crib, and still loving her sleep! I’m just here to say that whatever schedule your other kids might have been on with development or changes—it’s okay if your other child isn’t ready. They will be ready and won’t go to college sleeping in a crib. 👏
