A Needed Remedy
Allie has had a horrible time lately. The poor thing is suffering from horrible diaper rash and her bottom teeth are trying to pop through. The numerous cremes are not working for her and the doctor is really against giving her Tylenol for the pain. I have heard a lot of amber necklaces helping with inflammed gums but then stumbled across this. It claims to possibly help with skin rashes and some people swear it even helps with teeth. I am giving it a try! I will let you know how it works!!!
I included this in my blog because they provided me with a 15% off code when I ordered (use the code POST if you order)

Second time's a charm
I guess it pays to be the second child....sometimes. I decided that I wanted to try and make my own baby food. I wanted to with Julia but sometimes it was hard enough trying to even know what to feed her from a jar let alone how to make it and what to even make. Allie started with solids two weeks ago and is doing okay. Prices have gone up on those jars just since Julia was eating them so in an effort to be cost effective, I thought I would make my own. So armed with a blender and some ice cube trays I got to work.
I made carrots, sweet potatoes, and squash. It was a learning process on how to even make squash!!!! I threw it in the blender, added some water, and threw it on the baby food setting (yes, my blender has a baby food setting). With some advice from a friend, I put them in an ice cube tray and froze them. Overnight, I had carrot cubes. Sounds delicious huh? I spent $4 on a squash and made 24 cubes. That has to save some money right?
Finished products - Ziploc bags and labeled for the freezer!
This is half of a squash
Thanks Peggy and random grocery store shopper for teaching me how to make squash
1 small bag of carrots - check!
I even got to use my new Pampered Chef veggie steamer
And yes, I do realize I am a bit psycho for taking pictures of the steps but you know what, I am a little proud of myself. This time last year I could barely make veggies if they weren't microwavable! ;)
