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 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!

When do you think is the best age to stop using these with kids? I think between 2 and a 1/2-3 years or as soon as they enter the preschool room. What are your thoughts on this one?

anij34 I had a rule with my daughter for her favorite comfort items. Her blanket was not allowed to leave the house at all and her stuffed puppy could come in the car on trips to the store but it stayed IN the car. We can't replace her favorite items and I refuse to...

This marks the fourth week since Mimi, a five-year-old cat, has been with me. Her master had to give her up because his baby was allergic to cats and he misses her very much. And I know that Mimi misses him, too. She keeps to...

anij34 You might consider blocking off the closet and all the rooms where she can hide. Force her to be sociable. It can help expedite the process. It might seem like a traumatic thing to do but it won't cause any serious problems. Sometimes cats can get into their...

anij34 I'm with you there. My father and I both do professional quality pictures so we never have to go and get them done somewhere. I take candids all the time but the really nice family type pictures we only do once a year.

Four Kittens were found in a trash bin behind a Petco in San Diego, California. They were rescued and put into foster care. It is obvious that the owners cared about these kittens. They could have put them in any trash bin,...

anij34 There is no good reason why someone does something cruel. It is a lack of goodness in them.

anij34 Being firm about rules and expectations of your children does not result in rebellious children, that is in fact a myth. It is our job as parents to suppress our children from things than destroy them. Expression is done in many other ways like paper and paint...

Ok- I know we probably all feed them everyday, but what I really mean is do you leave food down all the time or do like vets recommend and feed them at certain times of the day? I have 3 cats who all eat at different times and...

anij34 Its usually the attitude of spoiling animals or people with too much love that animals and people become obese. Yes, I have studied cats in the wild. I have been both a Park Ranger and Vet Tech so I know what I am talking about. It is proven that it is NOT...

What is Quiverfull? Its handing over ones fertility to God. About being content with how ever many children you are blessed with, be that 1 or 6 or 17.

anij34 This is where you leave it up to God, handing Him the control over everything, from how many children to finances as well. If He wants you to have 10 children He will provide the means for them as well. Its sad that you consider the blessing of beautiful...
