New Food Combo.... Family Loves It.

     Today was a bit different. I wasn't sure if my son would actually like this new food combo. I made Peanut Butter Cheerios Breakfast bar. It is 1/2 cup of Honey, 1/2 cup of Creamy Peanut butter and 3 1/2 cups of Cheerios. Heat the Honey and Peanut Butter on low heat until well combined and starting to boil. Take off heat and add in the Cheerios. Mix until all is covered. Put it into a greased 8x8 or 9x9 pan. I used parchment paper. Keeps the pan clean. Let sit in the fridge for about an hour or until it is fully set. I waited an hour and it worked just fine. 

    My husband had seconds on it and my son asked for a second one as well. He was very happy to eat it. It is now his favorite combo. That makes me very happy because when it comes to him eating something new it is a hit or miss. This was a hit. A very happy it. The honey in it helps it be sweet without it becoming too sweet.

    My son did wake up on his own, I got some cuddles from him this morning which was nice. That was when I finally got up from the couch I made the breakfast bars. They really don't take that long to make. A simple easy breakfast. I hope your kiddos will like it too. Unless they have allergies you can substitute the best you can when researching the best solutions to to meal.

    As always; Keep your head up, take a deep breathe, you got this, and remember to always try to keep your coffee cup full.

Yesterday Was Chaos..... Today was better

      Today has been so much better then yesterday. I found out I am neurodivergent as my BHC (Behavioral Health Councilor) told me. I can get tested but finding the right neuropsychologist in-network with the health insurance is a struggle. Before that appointment was my son's IEP conference at his school. That was very interesting. A lot has happened and finding out that he is doing very well in school is nice to see/hear.     From all of that, I was drained just being around other people, having to talk with other people. I did however get some cooking done. After that I spent time with my husband while my son was asleep at his bedtime. He has been having no nap days.     Today, I got a lot of cleaning done while my son played. I did spend some time with him while I was going through a lot of clothes. I found a full garbage bag worth of clothes that he does not fit in anymore. Now all his clothes fit in the small dresser. I even organized my clothes...

How I am Building a Morning Routine With My Toddler

<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3284938032076114" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>          Waking up early isn’t always a walk in the park. I’ve started rising at 5:50 AM to carve out just 10 precious minutes for myself before waking my son at 6 AM. Once the day kicks off, it’s all about the routine. I brew my black coffee and prepare breakfast for my husband while getting my son’s meal ready. He has three cereal options: Protein Cheerios Cinnamon, Plain Cheerios, and Kix. More often than not, he opts for the Protein Cheerios, which is great since he could use the extra protein. He’s been a picky eater since he was little.      His go-to foods include cereal, homemade mac and cheese, a slice of block cheese, peanut butter, goldfish crackers, and on very rare occasions, some candy or animal crackers—oh, and let’s not forget the peanut butter pancakes. Some might...

Easy Pancake Breakfast for Picky Toddlers (Simple Family Meal)

      So I got up at my normal time today and I was still very tired. The reason behind it is because my husband woke up at 3:30AM and my son got up at 4:10AM. That was not easy on me. My husband made pancakes this morning for me and my son. That was a nice surprise for me. Also he got my son to eat some pancakes. The way he made it he actually liked. Pancake, peanut butter and protein cheerios together. He ate half of it.     He had chicken nuggets for dinner and the rest of his breakfast for lunch. For my breakfast I got two pancakes, two fried eggs and a cup of black coffee mixed of my coffee and his coffee. That actually kind of put me to sleep even more. Today has been a pretty good day for me and a some what good day for my kiddo. It has been a long day but it is almost Monday. Now on Monday my son has a dental appointment and I already know that will not go well.     I got a couple of walks in today which felt nice. My son got to spend some time...
