Ife's Second Day of School

In protest of not being able to eat his cookie

school day abstaining from food and water. I will
not be sending cookies in his lunch box anymore.
On Monday, I'll try gojii berries.

Budget Hunter: Amazing Savings

You can tell by now that we are huge fans of bananas,,,,right?

frozen blueberies save the day

Feeding a pickey eater at home is a chalenge. The chalenge increases at my parents house. Ife is excited and full of energy. He doesn't want to sit down for meals. He doesn't even want to eat his standar favorites; frozen peas, beans, noodles, and soup. The kid is about to lose it. Then Grandma steps in with a bowl of frozen blueberrys. Ife's reaction is,"Mmm! I was sad and then the blueberrys helped me be happy." We have repeated the blueberry trick several times with similar results.
