How i get my toddler to eat healthier

enjoying rice with panera broccoli cheddar soup 

I have heard many moms complain about their kids refusing to eat, and i can relate because i have had my own share of days where my daughter simply refuses certain food. Not to toot my own horn but my daughter has been a good eater, she eats everything i eat and things that most kids would refuse in an instance oat meal, broccoli, avocado, ...and so on. She is almost three and still breast feeds ( i really don't mind) and eats anything i put on her place, so here is the secret to my successful meal time.

Pediatric Appointment

I was going to post this on monday but i got side tracked because i was busy been a student and a mom. My little candy cane had her 4th month Pediatric appointment and am happy to say that she is as healthy as can be, she is at the top of her game .. lol 95th percentile in both height and weight. What does that mean you may ask, it means that she is taller and bigger than the average 4 month baby.. lol. I am very happy and blessed to have such a healthy baby.

Little Supergirl.

Today i was doing the dishes and thinking about my kids even though they were just two feet away  and i realized that worrying has become something i do all the time even without meaning to, i practically worry over petty things which got me thinking ....does it mean that i am an over protective mother? is this what makes someone a good mother?
Anyway i got my thoughts together, tried to put my home in order, which by the way take me more than two hours thanks to my two year old...lol. My three month old started getting fussy so i took her in my arms but that didn't help, she still didn't quit with the fussing, then it occurred to me, ... she wanted down, she loves to sit up and look around especially at her big sister and this is what happened as soon as she hit the ground,....

She stood on her feet holding on to the couch  .....wow! she is barely four months old. it lasted for 5 seconds and down she went smiling. I felt so proud, my kids were always strong and ambitious which gives me a sense of accomplishment because deep down i know that i am definitely doing a good job. This is my SUPERGIRL!!

Have a blessed day!!!

Mom 101

I wake up every day feeling just the right amount of tiredness why? you may ask. well that's because having a baby is not an easy job, many mothers make it seem very effortless but believe me it is NOT! my kids are co-sleepers and after the nightly breast feeding and diaper changing, when I finally crawl into bed hoping for a little rest I wake up with someone's feet on my head and sometimes a tiny little butt...lol..right. Don't get me wrong I love my kids with every fiber of my being but since I had these little candy canes I have literally had zero time for myself. On my best days I wake up to my eldest daughter throwing my phone on my head, so I can help her bypass my access code. My home is my work, so I don't have to leave unless it’s important, so relaxing after a long day’s job is totally out of the question. with all that said, I won't trade my life for anything else, kids grow up so fast, I rather enjoy these special moments and cuddles before they are all gone for good.
