::Fall Has Arrived!

 
This aspen tree is right outside of my kitchen window. On Saturday, it was green. On Sunday it was yellow, and on Monday (yesterday) it was this yellow/ brown mix. Reminds me of a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie :)

I love seeing the beauty all around us when the seasons change!

::Sunday, Simply Stated

 
I love Sundays... lazy day, football, listening to my boys laugh and talk to each other... It's all about spending good, quality time with the ones you love the most! Be sure to take some time today to tell the special people in your life that you love them.

::Monkey See, Monkey Do

 

My baby boys are 8 months old! I just cannot believe how FAST the time has gone by... I still remember the evening I found out I was pregnant, the day we found out we were having twins, seeing their tiny flickering hearts on the ultrasound, learning that they were boys, the day they were born, and all the amazing firsts that have happened over the last 8 months. While I wished that this would come, I want to keep my precious little guys babies forever. 

This evening, my husband was choking on a drink and was coughing from it... my little monkeys both started to fake cough to be like their daddy! Monkey See, Monkey Do! We just adore our precious gifts and soak up everyday with them as they grow and develop.

Thank you, God, for our little miracles!

::On The Road Again....

My last post was about how I make all of my boys' baby food, but the reality of it is that we aren't home for every.single.meal they eat. Since it's kind of impractical to try and take ice cube baby food on the road or out and about without it melting all over the place, I feed my boys only certified organic baby foods when we are on the go. The 3 brands that I love and trust are:

Ella's Kitchen (www.ellaskitchen.com) 
Plum Organics (www.plumorganics.com) 
Sprout Organic (www.sproutbabyfood.com)

I did a lot of looking around and researching other baby foods before I settled on these brands. I love these for a lot of the same reasons that I love making my own baby foods. No fillers, super nutritious, no funky stuff that I can't pronounce and it's in perfect portion sizes. 

Ella's Kitchen and Plum Organics average about $1.79 per pouch and can be found at Target, Babies r Us and some grocery stores. Sprout Organic is $0.98 per pouch and I have only been able to find it at Walmart. While the price per ounce is much more expensive than making my own food, I'm more than willing to pay for the quality of the food and the convenience of being able to throw it in my JuJuBe Diaper Bag (www.ju-ju-be.com) use it whenever it's needed. 


We are going to be gone for 4 days in the next couple of weeks and I will be taking a variety of these three brands of food to feed my kiddos while we are away. I always try to meal plan for them to ensure than I have both fruits and vegetables at each meal for them. I'm debating on whether or not I will take my Magic Bullet with me anyway to make some fresh food while we are there, but regardless, I'll be prepared with these organic options.
