Expecting a baby

Are you expecting a baby soon? A few years ago I was expecting and eagerly anticipating the arrival of our first child on January 7th. Everyone said “oh wouldn’t it be great to have a Christmas baby”, and then when Christmas passed and no baby it became “wouldn’t it be great to have the New Years Baby.” I wasn’t thrilled about either idea. Many of the nurses agreed and said “No, It isn’t fun being here at New Years with all the husbands who have had a few drinks, think their wives are going into labor and rush them … [Read more...]

Freeze them and use them later in smoothies!  Actually, my kids like theirs more like a soft sorbet - thick enough so the spoon stands up in it. Tools The BEST tool for this is a hand blender if you like it very thick like sorbet. Otherwise be prepared to add juice to the blender to make it easier to mix. Ingredients 3/4 cup frozen strawberries, quartered 1/2 frozen banana, sliced 1/3 cup vanilla or fruit yogurt (my kids are purists and like the … [Read more...]
