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)

Succulent Centerpiece using Dollar Tree Items

Looking to add some greenery to your space?  Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to create a quick and simple succulent display using a round baking pan from Dollar Tree. I completed this craft a while ago, but forgot to share it with you. It's an easy project, and all the materials—except for the spray paint—were purchased at Dollar Tree. You can make this lovely decoration in just 10 minutes. Let’s get started on this succulent decoration together! Materials -One baking pan -Spray paint -Stones/rocks -Crushed glass -Artificial succulents -One glass candle holder Start by applying spray paint to the baking pan. I had a bronze color from a previous project, and it would be a great opportunity to use it again. When applying spray paint, make sure to cover the surrounding area and ensure that the space is well-ventilated.  Once you have painted the pan, allow the paint to dry. I used a heating tool to speed up the drying process, but if you prefer, you can let it air dry, which m...

Keeping Blogging Positive: The Do’s and Don’ts of Community Support

The Do’s and Don’ts in a Blogging Community If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the years of blogging, it’s that the community can be one of the best parts of the whole experience — when we’re actually supporting each other. Blogging isn’t just hitting publish and hoping someone reads it. It’s connecting, showing up for one another, and creating a space where everyone feels welcome to share their voice. But let’s be honest: not every corner of the blogging world feels that way. Sometimes people forget that behind every blog is a real person doing their best. So I wanted to put together a simple, down‑to‑earth list of do’s and don’ts — the things that genuinely help build a positive blogging community, and the things that… well, don’t. Nothing complicated, nothing dramatic. Just the kind of common‑sense, supportive habits that make blogging more enjoyable for all of us. The Do’s: How We Can Lift Each Other Up Do show support in ways that feel natural to you Support doesn’t have to b...

This party offers a platform for sharing inspiring content, including recipes, family-friendly blog posts, crafts, home décor, and other uplifting ideas. We made it to party 100! Yay! How was your week? I hope you are all doing well. This week: - We experienced a few rainy days, which caused some damage to our downstairs window. My weekend will be spent cleaning up the damage and making repairs! - I noticed the squirrel, yes, the same cute one from last week's party, munching on my beautiful rose bush! I had to hurry and shoo him away. - I still haven't tried the new Raspberry syrup from Starbucks. I've heard it pairs well with the iced white chocolate mocha; you can add raspberry cream to the drink for a delicious twist. I may just pick up raspberry syrup from my local World Market and make my own! Congratulations to our featured bloggers Lisa from Handmade in Israel created a beautiful card for Hila, her eldest s...
