When my daughter was born I went as all natural as possible. Which to me included making my own baby food. I know that most people use a food mill or a strainer but I simply used my blender. I would steam the fruits and...

anij34 So why do you say that? Its proven by nutritionalist's that fresh veggies steamed or baked is much better for your health than something jarred or canned. In the jarring and canning process important nutrients can be killed off. Something can' be just good for...

anij34 Your so right, its cheaper and its healthier. Glad to see so many people are putting their children on the road to healthy eating. They really aren't on actual "baby food" for very long. My daughter was about 6 months when she started on solids then was eating...

anij34 My theory is that kids have the rest of their lives to eat horribly and watch a ton of bad t.v. While I can control what enters their mouths and brains I will. If I only offer them healthy food then they stand a better chance of continuing those habits for a...

anij34 Ebay is a great place to get those name brand clothes for pretty cheap. But I have to ask...why the need for a stupid label? Seriously, any brand can be "cute" why does it have to be the brand that is insanely expensive? It just comes down to the typical...

anij34 Birthday parties in the summer are tough and you can sort of set yourself up to fail if you send out that many invitations and you don't hear anything back from the parents. The key here is to put in a phone call to the parents a few days before the birthday...

anij34 Sounds like maybe its time to put your foot down. Since your letting her do it in the summer time she thinks its okay to do it anytime. You need to just tell her the new rule and reinforce that. Make the consequences known. Be truthful and tell her that you...

anij34 I lived in CT and worked in NYC but I still managed to go apple picking in the fall. Its not far from the city either. Check out a website called LocalHarvest.org or do a web search for an apple orchard near NYC or even in CT. Good Luck!
