Oh boy! We've got a picky eater...


In our home we are currently dealing with our toddler being a picky eater. I never imagined this would happen, when she an infant I breastfed her until she was about 13 months, and I made her baby food, with our baby food processor. Now that she is going onto 2 in April, she is pickier than ever!!!
She used to be into vegetables, and for a while I could make healthy sandwiches, but now she refuses to eat some of these things. My husband has told me several times not to give in and give her something else to eat when she refuses to eat what we have made for her. (It gets so hard sometimes) It turns into a battle on some days, she will pick at her food, and I need to remind myself that maybe this is just a phase! (Fingers crossed)
I’m sure many parents go through this, but I guess I just wasn’t prepared. I love cooking different foods,(I’m half asian)and in our home we love spicy foods. I have noticed that she loves to eat spicy foods, but lately she has been in a mood in which she has refused all foods during dinner. So I'm trying my best and making it work, and slowly it seems as though there may be a comeback with her eating foods she once enjoyed. I'm really hoping. :) Did you ever deal with a picky eater? (And if so how did you overcome it)-Was it just a phase? I'd love to know. Until next time, have a beautiful day. -Stephanie

    I have a picky eater of my own! My son's taste in foods change as quickly as his moods. I never know what he will want to eat. It's a big challenge because I do want him to eat, but it's difficult to know exactly what he wants to eat. Since its just the two of us, I tend to make smaller meals so food never goes to waste. I just keep trying different things until I find something that he will eat.

    I know what you mean Natasha! My daughter's taste in food changes so quickly as well. I feel like I've tried everything! I'm really hoping this is just a quick phase. Tonight she only wanted chicken, she wouldn't touch the rice. lol (smh)

Little Clay Bowls.

Little clay bowls  I created these simple textured clay bowls, and I'd love it if you created some too! Take some clay and mold them into a round bowl shape. I used air-dry clay for this project.  Allow it to dry completely overnight. Then take some paint and mix a few colors together and paint each bowl. I'm using these cute handmade clay bowls to store some of my jewelry in them.   Enjoy~ **Hello to all my readers, and welcome new readers. It's such a pleasure to have you come along on my journey.

This is a warm and friendly gathering where you can share your amazing ideas—whether it's tasty recipes, fun family activities, creative crafts, home projects, or any other joyful inspirations. If you love finding new DIY ideas and learning from other bloggers, you’re in the perfect spot! We just picked up our youngest daughter from summer camp yesterday. She had so much fun and met new people. The drive to her camp was beautiful. When we dropped her off last week, I took this picture of a cow as it passed by.  At that moment, I was reminded of all the beauty that surrounds us. Here in Colorado, like many other places, we are battling wildfires. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected, including families, wildlife, firefighters, and others who have been working so hard to deal with these fires. It's been dry and windy, and we could honestly use some moisture. Wishing you all a ...
