Nuby Steam n Mash Review

Rozzlyn and I had the chance to try out the Nuby Steam 'n Mash this week and were oving all the possibilites! Mr. Larz isnt old enough for real food yet, so we were using it to make some yummy popsicles for our Fruitsicle maker! Last we came up with a yummy banana recipe for it... this week - we're doing a fresh apple and OJ version.

**Well, we were GOING to come back via video... but there was a very unhappy Larz getting his diaper changed that was really just ready for some mama milk... so we continued in picture form ;)

It was about 5 minutes in the microwave and our apples were soft and mushy. We let it sit for a minute to cool off... then drained the water... took off the lid and dumped the apples into the bowl. Ms. Rozzlyn helped me get them all mashed up... then we added a splash of orange juice and smashed some more!

After that we poured it all into our Fruitsicle mold... Rozz capped them - and into the freezer they went!

I was SUPER happy with this new set and its a great addition to our baby food making collection. It worked perfectly for the fruitsicles... and I can see us grabbing this as Larz gets older when I want to make something quick without pulling out the blender for big batches of food. Its also dishwasher safe making it easy to clean, and the grippers on both the handle of the masher and bowl make it easy to use and hold. Another homerun by Nuby.

Loving our Lillebaby!

Recently I lost the Tula love - I sold all 3 of my carriers (I had 2 standards and a Toddler Tula) and got a Lillebaby. I have to say, Im in love. Unlike the Tula, the Lillebaby doesn't require any newborn inserts. It is full adjustable and for a newborn you just adjust the seat snaps to make it more narrow. I LOVE that you can have even a newborn up at kissable height and knee to knee… The fit is SO amazing, it has a nice high back, and the lumbar support is SO NICE… the best part, is we have the Airflow… so when its hot you just unzip the panel and its a nice breathable mesh material. Love, love, LOVE - expect more #lillelove coming soon!

Nuby Garden Fresh Fruitsicle Popsicle Mold and Pop Up Freezer Pots Review and Recipe

New favorite Nuby goodies? I think SO! Recently we had the chance to try out the Nuby Garden Fresh Fruitsicle Popsicle Mold and we're in love. I have always been a big fan of making my own baby food… I like know what they're eating and exactly what ingredients are going into their little bodies. Snacks and desserts are no exception to that, and with the new Nuby molds - Its really easy! Each one holds 1oz of liquid for the popsicle. The handles are chunky and perfect for little hands to hold on to - and the shape makes a little drip tray of sorts keeping melty messes off their hands. 

Rozz and I came up with our own awesome recipe for our popsicles using all organic/gluten free ingredients.

We used:  

organic banana

1/2 cup of gluten free oatmeal

1/4 tablespoons of organic milk

1/2 cup organic strawberry yogurt… 

Blended it all together and YUM! I love when looking at it you can see the little bits of oatmeal inside… such a healthy and nutritious cool treat that I would have no problem handing over and calling it breakfast or dessert. (You will have leftovers as the trays hold 4 ounces total. The tray & parts are freezer safe (obviously) but you can also just throw it in the dishwasher when you're done. My ONLY suggestion is I wish that the tips of the outer white piece had some silicone bottoms like their Pop Up Freezer Pots (see below) so they were just a little easier to get out. We broke the first popsicle pulling it out but all the rest came out pretty easily. I think that would be an easy solution that that minor issue. 

What is our favorite part? Eating them of course!! *lick* Want your own? Order them at BedBathandBeyond.com for $7.99 or on Amazon. 

Now, lets rewind here for a second… I told you you would have leftovers of our awesome popsicle recipe. But I didn't tell you what to do with them. First, grab your Nuby Garden Fresh Pop Up Freezer Pots… the have an awesome silicone bottom, lids that close nice and tightly, and a tray to keep them all nice and organized.

You then poor all your leftover yumminess in these pots… put them in the freezer… and pull them out to thaw as needed for the baby :) Yes, of course we have a toddler… and a baby… and bigger kids… we have a lot of kids. So naturally leftovers get eaten right up over here. Seriously though - I LOVE these pots… Sometimes getting baby food out is such a pain… but with these you just push up from the bottom and they pop right out. Easy Peasy! Or if you want just take one out and let it thaw in the fridge then serve right from these little cups. 

They are available to purchase at amazon.com, buybabydirect.com, toysrus.com and more!

Skin to Skin is great for DAD!

"When a father has a chance to hold his newborn skin-to-skin on his chest he releases oxytocin, often called the love hormone. This hormone supports bonding and trust in humans, and is the same hormone that makes a woman’s uterus contract in labor. When the dad’s endocrine system releases oxytocin as a result of this skin-to-skin contact with his newborn, he can’t help but fall in love with this new little person. His body is flooded with oxytocin and the connection grows." - SheKnows
