The All Natural Way

So it has been a little over two weeks since my husband and I decided we wanted to change our eating habits as well as our childrens'. After reading into what fast food restaurants and chain grocery stores put into their products, it was quite disturbing to us. This didn't come easy to us because like America, we LOVED us some fast food. Why might you ask? Because it is FAST and for me its because I don't have to dirty my kitchen or cook it myself. I know, I know that sounds extremely lazy. But what is America? We like everything to be fast. We basically approached it the "cold turkey" way. Just decided one day to stop eating all of the fast food, sugar, and junk food. Has it been easy? NO! I swear I am having pizza hut, buffalo wing withdrawals. Oh and soda withdrawals. SO. NOT. FUN. But, I think one of the biggest reasons we decided to do this is because of our two adorable girls. We don't want to raise them on McDonald's and high fructose corn syrup. I am guilty of being so exhausted and running to McDonald's or Chickfila to get them meals. Its fast and easy. But it is not healthy unfortunately. It has been especially hard getting Blakelyn into this new eating style. She's what we call our "grazer", the girl can eat all day long and still be hungry. So I like to always have little snacks for her. I would like to share some of our new found, Natural and organic favorites. :)

These are the girls' absolute FAVORITE. You can find them at Target, or Natural Food Stores.
  • Gluten, Egg, and Peanut Free
  • Little to NO mess
  • No artificial flavors
  • Dissolves easily for teethers
  • Comes in Banana and Vegetable Flavor
Get them, your babies will LOVE them!!!



Another Favorite of the Girls! Not to mention the adorable little panda. Gluten and Wheat Free. I like knowing that my little ones have all natural ingredients in their bellies vs. things that could harm them.



 
 
 
My new found favorite from David's Natural Market. All NATURAL and unsalted peanut butter.
It just tastes delicious. And is about the same price as what you would buy from a chain grocery store.



So this is just a little about our new found journey into the All natural Way ;)
