Chocolate-Banana Protein Shake

-

Ice cream is definitely my Achilles Heel. I know, I know. Everything can be done in moderation, right? No, not ice cream! I always go overboard, doing crazy things like finishing a whole carton in 2 days. 



I find that smoothies are a healthy alternative so my husband actually made this one and I loved it! It gives a variety from your regular fruity smoothie flavors such as strawberry banana. Give it a try, and let me know how you like it!

2 Ways to Increase Your Breastmilk Flow

When I found out I was pregnant with my first child, I knew that I wanted to breastfeed. Although I was a similac baby, I wanted to try something different with my kids. After all, the experts say that breastfeeding is the way to go, right? Well I was successful at first, but then things started to get a little rocky. I wasn't pumping much at one sitting. I'm talking about taking a half hour just to kick out 2-3 ounces altogether. I was concerned and thought that I would be forced to switch to formula. Then I made these 2 changes; my supply turned around tremendously. With my second pregnancy, I already knew the tricks and my flow was abundant.  1.

Try to pump right after breastfeeding.  The milk is flowing now. It should be easy to collect more right after a feeding.  Ultimately, the best way to feed your baby is to FEED YOUR...

Toddler Learning Binder

As a new stay-at-home mom, it can be challenging trying to balance taking care of an infant while meeting the needs of a toddler. Since my 2 year old is no longer in daycare, I'm working diligently to provide him with adequate opportunities for academic growth.  He has tons of books and he loves reading them all with his dad and me. Some of his favorite toys are the educational ones such as puzzles for matching animals or letter, and a tablet. He watches television sometimes in the mornings. Although his ultimate favorite shows to watch are any version of the Baby Shark videos, he thoroughly enjoys Sesame Street and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. But something that has really helped with structural learning is this binder that I created. Here are a few of the pages that are in it: This binder will soon be updated because he can already count to 40 on his own and he also knows more shapes than what's shown, including an octagon. I didn't make a page for animals, food, or clothing b...

I think sweet potato fries are becoming my specialty. They get better each time. Broccoli is a staple in our household and my two year old loves them. Ground turkey was the only meat we had. I didn't feel like frying burgers and we didn't have any sauce for spaghetti so I made plain meatballs.  Turkey Meatballs In a bowl, combine ground turkey, 1 egg, 1 broken up piece of bread, black pepper, onion powder, Everything Bagel seasoning. Form into round balls and place on baking sheet lined with foil. Spray with coconut oil spray. Cook in oven on 400 for 30 minutes.  Sweet Potato Fries  Peel potato and cut into fry shapes. Toss in a bowl with vegetable oil, cinnamon, and Everything Bagel. Cook in air fryer on 380 for 12 minutes.  Broccoli was steamed in a pot on the stove. I added butter and black pepper.  YUM YUM YUM
