Nanny to Mommy

My son is a picky eater. It's not really that he's picky but getting nutrients into him is a hassle. He likes to "snack" and I don't mind providing snacks as long as they are good for him too. Recently, a friend of mine introduced us to Gerber Lil' Beanies. They are made with navy beans and provide 2g of protein per serving. She had brought them to ball practice, and I thought, "that's the perfect go-to summertime toddler snack". They are easily portable, and my son loves them, so it's definitely a win-win for me.

While shopping at Kroger, we decided to grab a few.

When you think of summer, what do you think about? I think about long lake days and sunglasses. Flip flops and sunscreen. Watermelon and hot dogs. Yes, hot dogs. And America staple during the summer months, at least in our house. But what about those of you looking for a yummy, non-GMO, vegan option?

 Why choose European?

I know SO MANY people having babies. It has definitely been baby shower season it seems. Although I do have some traditional gift ideas that I love giving, I also love giving unique children's gifts for not only baby shower gifts, but birthdays and more.

It’s sometimes hard to find something that feels special that isn’t super expensive, so I was excited to discover cuddle + kind. Not only are their dolls and prints super cute, but this small company has an amazing backstory.

My daughter is at this amazing age where she wants to learn as she plays. I think it has a lot to do with the amazing teachers that she had last year. They focused on a lot of hands-on learning and she learned so much in the past year. Now that summer is in full force, I have been wanting to make sure she doesn't get "Summer Brain Drain" and lose all that information.

I received complimentary products to provide this review. All opinions are my own.

So when I was asked to review the GeoSafari Jr. My First Telescope from Educational Insights, I took it as an opportunity to help my daughter learn about the moon and other lunar facts with a hands-on experience.
