Story time

Today Shahzaad joined Zi'yah for the first time outside in her play area and he had an absolute blast.

Initially I wanted to wait and first finish up the play area and get a pit with play sand as I'm not to keen with him playing with the normal outdoor soil. I however gave in because he was just to sad seeing his sister enjoy herself outside , so I sat with him and watched him very carefully ( paranoid at its best 🤣).

The past 2 weeks Shahzaad has been very fussy and super clingy and today was just the peak with him crying at the smallest little things. The outdoor activity did him really good and his in a much better mood.

Now that his experienced the outdoor play his mission is just to go outside to the play area so I guess I have to finish that area up fast.😅

Any suggestions for things to add to a outdoor play area? ( its completely seperate from the dogs so nothing can get damaged)

Blackhead Solution Alert

I've been battling with blackheads for as long as I can remember, tried so many products on the market even those expensive dermatologist end products, nothing as in nothing worked.

And another problem is my sensitive skin, I've literally used products only once because my face would feel on fire.

Salicylic Acid Foaming Face Cleaner has really came through for me. This cleanser is amazing , because it not only removes dirt from pores it also tightens those large pores to prevent future blackheads.

My skin is looking so clear and healthy, I have zero issues with my sensitive skin burning its been just over month of using it already. I'm so happy that I finally found my skin solution to blackheads.



Do you battle with blackheads and/or large pores?

Independent Eating Hack

Mommas we all know how messy independent eating can be, but we want to allow our baby toddlers to explore this phase and learn skills.

So I have a hack for you, All you'll need is a plastic kiddies shell. Put your little one with their food into the shell to enjoy their meal. They can now have fun and mess in one spot which makes clean up so easy.

I like having Shahzaad in his nappy while eating as its easy for me to wipe him down or put him straight into the bath after all his fun and learning.

This is definitely a win-win situation for both baby and mom.

Does your little one enjoy Independent eating?

Milestones

This little man is a whole 1 year & 1 month old. I'm absolutely loving all the new Milestones his reaching.

We in the phase where his very adamant about feeding himself. He is also able to stand unsupported and actually 2 little steps today before tipping over.

For the past 3 weeks Shahzaad has been extremely attached and has became a velcro baby. Poor little man is going through so much development which can be overwhelming so I don't blame him for wanting to be near me 24/7 for that extra reassurance. We make use of babywearing alot around the house when his like this. It allows his emotional needs to be met as well as allowing me to attend to other things in the house as well as attending to Zi'yah.

I'm absolutely loving my boy mom era and I'm so obessed with this little guy ❤

Homeschooling and beyond

Today we took Homeschooling to the kitchen. Zi'yah learned how to remove seeds from gem squash and little brother was also so interested and in the mix.

What I absolutely love about Homeschooling is that learning and education goes far beyond text books and prescribed work. Zi'yah gets the dance to explore and learn new skills, especially those that will benefit in the future in her everyday life. The simplest of tasks can be turned into something to learn about.

Zi'yah shows a huge interest in doing tasks in the kitchen , so I'm encouraging and developing that interest. She has gotten to the point where she knows exactly how the microwave works and how many times to press to warm up her food to a certain heat level.

I'm looking forward in seeing her development and what comes from this big interest.

Does your child show interest in the kitchen?

Toddler Lunch Idea

Zi'yah absolutely loves potato chips and this momma enjoys making them homemade.

I like adding some healthy sides to add balance to her meal so that its not a carb loaded meal but offers a variety of different nutrients, taste and texture.

Zi'yah favorite sauce combo is half tomato and half mustard. With this combo she won't leave any potato chips behind.

We also love keeping on vegetable peels as much as possible, because high amounts of nutrients are found in the peel of a vegetable.

Do you like your potatoes with or without the peel?

Refuel

I'm still in recovery mode from having a horrible bug. My little guy isn't feeling to well either and is clustering feeding, this mommas body feels weak and out of it and I can't think of a better way to strengthen myself than a yummy bowl of fruit and a Mothers Food Shake. I don't have much appetite but this shake is going down so so well and I can feel the boost effect it's having on me.

Now for some more rest, because I absolutely hate feeling sick.

How is everyone holding up with all the viruses making its rounds?

Making sure my kids eat healthy, nutritional food is very important to me as a mother.

I'm a firm believer that a healthy adulthood starts with a healthy childhood. I can count on my fingers how little they get sick ( thrice a year at most)

I ensure my children are exposed to nutritional food from the moment they start solids. ( this also helps with rejection to certain foods especially vegetables)

Even though Zi'yah is allowed candy I'm rest assured that she knows her limits and she will even tell you that she needs good healthy food to grow big and strong. (clever girl)

We also rarely have takeouts as my husband and I prefer home cooking and because of this Zi'yah literally eats takeouts with a struggle she says it doesn't taste good.

The kids really enjoy their Sunday lunch today and my mommy heart is happy knowing they getting in all that goodness. Shahzaad literally ate all his food up without any help, his in that phase of independent eating now. ( my boy is growing up way to fast ya'll)

Does your kids enjoy healthy foods?
