Disclaimer: This post is filled with random ranting about airline travel as well as some of my current “survival tactics” when flying with Eliana. WARNING! This post contains overly processed food, BPA and PVC-filled plastics and a shudder-worthy amount of germs. Consider yourself warned. Before I travel I have to write down my “packing list.” I’m famous for making packing lists that include silly things like “this note pad” and presumably obvious things like “shoes.” (Really? Would I actually forget to pack shoes??) My list hasn’t changed so much over the years so you’d think I’d be logical about it

Usually, our neighborhood has a pretty spectacular kids Halloween parade. This year, Matt, Eliana and I had been planning to host a pre-parade party for Eliana’s friends and their families. But, the parade was cancelled this year due to clean up from Hurricane Sandy. So, instead of a pre-parade party, we hosted a Halloween play date! The guests were toddlers ranging in age from 1 year to 17-months old (in adorable costumes!) along with their parents. The menu was orange-themed in keeping with the Halloween tradition, but since it was going to be between the kids’ lunch and dinner,

How did our garden grow? Wellll, apparently, a green thumb I do not have. My visions of eating a homegrown salad of cucumbers, tomatoes and herbs did not happen. No recipes with our very own okra or squash were cooked either. Other than my being a newbie at this gardening thing, I think a few factors worked against me. First, we have a lovely, very big deck that is West-facing. It is a-ma-zing! Except for the mid- to late afternoon when the sun is so incredibly intense and it is unbearable to be outside. Those parts of the day might

Typically during a meal, Eliana and I sit at the table and she feeds herself off her tray. We “talk” about what we are eating, what’s been happening that day or upcoming events. But, sometimes we get a little goofy and silly. At times, I even let her play around a little bit while she eats. I will let the pictures below tell most of this story. Lately, she has been really excited about her new OXO Tot brand high chair and likes to explore it, even when she isn’t eating. Sometimes these explorations continue into mealtime. Thankfully, the baked

Who needs a traditional teething toy when a piece of rosemary works just fine? Eliana and I harvested a bit of rosemary today for a bean salad I made for her dinner. (Recipe coming soon.) As I was cutting some sprigs, Eliana grabbed a leaf and stuck it in her mouth. And then proceeded to roam around chewing on it until she spit it out to eat lunch. Crazy Little Lady! Rosemary rocks! Haha! I have some and YOU don’t! What do you mean I’m supposed to chomp on a pacifier instead. Puh-leeze, Woman! You don’t call me teeny tiny
