Before you have a toddler…”I’ll introduce my baby to all sorts of foods so they will be well-rounded and not picky.” Once you have a toddler…”Graham crackers count as a meal.” Early in our BLW adventures, an Instagram friend commented that [...]

Ice Cream Every Day
July 22, 2019 { 8 comments }Upon waking on Sunday morning I immediately thought to myself “there is no way I can be home by myself with Finn all week.” First, Finn is on the move and all but running around the house as of late.

Finn’s Recent Eats: One Year

Behind the Eats
July 11, 2018 { 32 comments }Blogging is a weird thing sometimes. While I try to be open and vulnerable in this space, I don’t feel comfortable going to the place of “dear diary.” So often, even when I’m really struggling, I just keep going like normal here. It’s mostly a good thing because I enjoy writing and it helps me [...]
