for the love of...{v. 1 - mesh feeders}
I'm finally starting my "for the love of..." series, in which I tell you about products that rock my socks off. I'm pretty brand loyal and when I love something, I loooove it. But I'm also picky...dare I say, ahem, snobby ::there, I said it!, geez:: about stuff.
So my first little gem is this mesh feeder by Munchkin. I've been filling it with lots of frozen items like apple slices, banana slices, cubes of homemade baby food and if I'm feeling adventurous, frozen whole milk plain yogurt mixed with mango puree. I also think frozen melon would be delish or even just an ice cube during the hot summer months. I've been going the frozen route, the babies seem to prefer it that way and the frozen apple slice route is perfect for teething.
I've been giving it to them as I prepare their meals, a baby appetizer of sorts. It keeps them busy, thus avoiding a major meltdown...score!
Now, make no mistake, this thing is mess-ey. You will be cleaning out leftovers from many a baby crease and crevice. And you have to rinse it out right after use otherwise you will have to scrub banana encrusted mesh and that's always no bueno. But it's not that bad and I'm sure if you have little peoples in your house you are already doing a lot of rinsing and scrubbing and cleaning of precious neck rolls. So we give this little miracle 3 thumbs up (that's one from me and one from each baby, if your keeping count).

fine print: this is my opinion, I didn't receive payment or products..this is not a celebrity endorsement..Munchkin does not know I exist, although they should so if your sister's, husband's, co-worker's, neighbor works for them let 'em know, mmkay?

Hey, where the heck ya been?...
Oh, me? Just raising some teens and some twins and stuff.
I've just beenunmotivated, uninspired, lazy busy, yaaa...that's it, busy.
Hmmm...let's see...
I ♥ MT big time. I want to go back, like now.
Elijah and his farmer tan are back home.
As if I don't already have a slight (maybe problematic) addiction to my iphone I have started using the myfitnesspal app. It's a food and exercise diary that you can actually scan your food in folks..aaah-mazing! I might actually be eating stuff just so I can scan, which is rather counter-intuitive but whatever.
I think we might actually have summer this weekend in the PNW so that's cool.
My new favorite thing is the passion iced tea from Starbucks, i'm having trouble finding the willpower not to stop every.single.day on my way home.
The babes are so much freaking fun! I actually wanted to wake them back up the other night because I couldn't stop thinking about how cute they are. I'm serious people...A-DOR-ABLE! I've been slacking in the photo department (see sentence #2 of this post) but I'm getting my mojo (or maybe I should call it photojo) back.
Oh! and I'm guest posting tomorrow over @ mama and the dudes !!!! This is like a big dealio for me so visit over there TOMORROW, AUGUST 20th. OK? OK! thanks...
Now I'm gonna unleash a massive photo-bomb from our trip, slightly erratic and in no specific order...kinda like this entire post...and a little like my entire summer.
