These Granny Smith Apple Waffles are one of the solutions I came up with to get my daughter (Little Foodie) to eat at school. She is one incredibly fussy little character, and getting her to eat at school has been an on-going battle all year. She would refuse to eat more than a couple nibbles [...]
Spring is in full swing and the school year will be winding down soon. Due to the nice weather we have been enjoying around here the past few weeks, I’ve been trying to slip in as much outdoor time as I can for my daughter. Being a big girl in kindergarten, yet still having a lot of therapy sessions to help her overcome the effects of autism, it can be challenging to make sure she gets enough outdoor playtime…
To say my daughter likes Nickelodeon would be a massive understatement. She enjoys a number of the shows on the channel, such as Dora the Explorer, Fresh Beat Band, Bubble Guppies and Team UmiZoomi, but the pinnacle of all programming in her eyes is Yo Gabba Gabba! I have to admit, I’m rather fond of DJ Lance and friends myself.
As a single mom, family movie night has been more of a Mommy & Me Movie Night around our house the past couple years. We watch an animated or other kid friendly flick, while snuggling on the couch in our PJ’s, munching on a few snacks. My daughter always enjoys watching me prepping the selection [...]
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, my daughter is the queen of mess making. She eats, she wears it. She drinks, she spills. She sees something potentially messy and she is drawn to it like a moth to the flame. Of course the worse mess stem from burgeoning independence. My personal “favorite” [...]
My daughter is quite possibly one of the most fussy children to ever walk the earth. She does adore crunchy stuff though. There are a lot of things I’ve managed to get her to eat by presenting it in a crunchy format. I’ve made here plenty of crackers over the past couple years featuring pureed [...]
Over the holidays, my daughter seemed to get one nasty cold on top of another. Luckily, all she has had since then is one minor case of the sniffles, but the month of illness really made me think about the cold remedies I use for her. You see, I try to keep our diet mostly [...]
Despite all our best efforts to protect our children from illness, colds and flu are an inevitable part of childhood. The best we can do is be prepared, and give them love and attention during their sickness. Little Foodie (my daughter) had a couple nasty colds earlier this winter. I make sure to give her [...]
Due to the quirks of autism, my daughter can be difficult to buy gifts for. Toys generally bore her. This year I had a stroke of genius though…an aquarium. I went with her earlier in the week and picked up a 10 gallon kit, got it set up, tested the water and temperature. We went [...]
The Boys & Girls Club of America is a wonderful organization, that not only provides fun activities and educational opportunities for kids, but they do it in a format that encourages civic mindedness, through projects targeted at helping their communities. When children put into their community, they become an integral part of it and learn [...]
