SUMMER LATELY PART 1

Just like that July is almost coming to an end. And I'm sorta feeling like where did this summer go? I don't want it to end without at least doing one road trip with the kids. I mean even if it's a simple short trip to Austin or San Antonio. I hesitated in planning a summer vacation with all 3 kids. I am carrying that mom guilt, I know! But let me just say.. I really struggle admitting it to myself and more so with others because part of me knows I should just go for it but I am not ready.. or at least Luke isn't yet. These terrible twos are hitting me hard and fast. 
I would like to know as mothers what are the signs that are there for you that made you confident you could survive a long trip with all kids? 
But until then here's a little of what we have done so far this past month.  For one this month is a big deal since my best friend is getting married and I feel honored to be her Matron of Honor. We did a Bridal shower for her along with family and friends and it was small but perfect because that's exactly what we wanted. Sweet Paris at the City-Centre location is a great spot for a small sprinkle showers. Her little sister did an amazing job hosting this event.

We have also done a lot of eating out as well this summer. You know summer is all about eating good, forget that summer bod! (I know I did) I'm talking about eating out multiple times out of the week here. This picture here is from Father's Day at Texas Roadhouse. We got to spend it with my parents and celebrated my husband and dad together. My dad is always working, he has been the best provider all my life. Growing up I felt that we had it all thanks to his hard work and perseverance to get far as a young dad. Unfortunately the downside was we didn't get to spend much time with him and that is one thing I wish could had been different during my childhood. Sundays are his only days off so it was so nice to have him for the day and spend it all together, even if it was for a short couple of hours. 

We had more crepes this summer then I'll like to admit. It was perfect excuse to celebrate my mom's birthday. So it was a total acceptable reason to satisfy our sweet cravings. We had a night out in town to treat her out the way she deserves.

4th of July was not the usual as we didn't have Ryan since he spend it with my parents. We normally do some BBQ at our place and my parents come. Living in Cypress everyone always goes over the top crazy with fireworks. So that is all we heard all night long. But I guess nothing beats being with the ones you love.

FINDING THE RIGHT FOOD POUCHES FOR YOUR BABY

Going back on one of my last post to what are the best choices to feed your children I am happy to partner with Happy Baby Brands for this post. So I know I have mentioned before already how hard it is to get my boys to eat everything we give them. The boys have really always given me a hard time since they were young. I mean I literally have to beg them to eat their veggies. Although I have learned a few tricks here and there on how to sneak them in their food it can still become a headache. For me, as a parent, making sure they are getting the proper nutrition will always be one of my main concerns. Which is why I am so big on picking natural, real, organic transparent food. We obviously will continue our weekly runs to our nearest Chick Fil A of course (okay I am not perfect) but I am always cautious of their food choices. 

One of the brands I been trusting for a while and Elyse will take from her brother ( I have to add she's the good one here who loves her fruits and veggies) are the Happy Baby Clearly Crafted™ Organic Pouches. As a first time mom there were many things I was not aware of. For example thinking of all the factors that come to play when purchasing baby food- what brand can I trust? What brand offers real fruits and vegetables? What brand is organic and delicious? As a mom I know when caring for our babies how much transparency matters. Which is why Happy Baby Clearly Crafted™ Organic Pouches are the perfect fit for us. The fact that they are clear and you can see everything that is inside them makes it so much better and brings in the feeling that you can trust in a brand like Happy Family. 

Yes making your own at home is always best but let's be real with multiple kids at home this can be unrealistic at times for some mothers who have their hands full already with cleaning, laundry, work, and preparing meals all this can wear you out. This is why I find it necessary to have a brand you can trust and support like Happy Family. What convince me into purchasing Happy Baby Clearly Crafted™ Organic Pouches was their honest REAL high quality value with recipes labeled that included all organic ingredients. And as a mom what makes me feel more safe and less skeptical is that they now also come in clear transparent pouches. So you can see yourself what goes in your child's mouth. I think that is one common mom mistake, not taking the proper time in reading baby food labels. But with these pouches you can turn it around and read the delicious recipe with all the ingredients that are included. Their recipes are quite impressive as it features wholesome organic fruit, vegetable puree and many more like gluten free and no added sugars. All trustworthy ingredients.

Be sure to visit your nearest Walmart where you can purchase all 20 different flavors. Click here to learn more about Happy Baby’s Clearly Crafted™ organic and their brand of trustworthy ingredients and their commitment to transparency.
