Bento Lunch Ideas for Little Foodies
Sometimes, I spend too much time on Pinterest when I could be doing something a little more productive. The upside of it though, is that I get to see lots of trends – from fashion and food to parties and home decor, there is always something that fascinates me. One thing I kept seeing over and over were these cute little lunches called bentos. I had never heard of a bento before, but picture after picture, they had me intrigued. Each time I saw a photo, they were these cute, bright, and organized little lunches. They made me want to get creative in my kitchen! After doing a bit of research and talking to a few bento experts, I now feel like I know what a bento is and how to make one.

Baby Book Club: Bears!
My toddler has recently become obsessed with bears – she calls herself a bear, she likes to growl, and she frequently tells me that bears are her favorite animal.
Fortunately, it’s not too hard to track down books about bears. And even better, they mostly fall on the sweet side, rather than the scary side, because one of the last things Ella asks me at bedtime is, “Are there any bears in our house? I’m nervous about bears.”
10 Reasons To Love Tummy Time!

I immediately turn her back over and call it a day. Despite being a second time mama, there are things I didn’t particularly master the first time around — this clearly being one of them. When I was at the pediatrician two weeks ago, she reminded me to give her plenty of “tummy time” and teach her how to love it. I said, “Oh she doesn’t like it” but the doctor assured me it was good for their development and that is a learned habit.
I did skin-on-skin from the second she was born, but haven’t since her first month. Now we are back to tummy time here at the very busy casa — even my four year old says “Mami, don’t forget to give Little L tummy time!”
Here I outline the 10 reasons and benefits of tummy time for you and baby!
