make your home a healthy one, one meal at a time
I just finished up another baby food frenzy over here, making enough food (pureed and finger foods) to last me at least a month. As Parker, my fast growing baby girl, keeps getting more independent with her own eating I’ll have less and less to actually prepare in advance *sigh*.
