Garlic: the Fine Motor Bulb
I don't know why this is the first time this dawned on me, but peeling garlic bulbs and removing the cloves is one of the best fine motor skills exercises ever!! Not to mention kids seem to love doing it, and it definitely reduces some of moms work in the kitchen... We now made this a ritual whenever we are in the kitchen whipping up fresh pesto; Freida is queen of the garlic. Try it!
Flash Sale Favorites
Hey there! Just spotted a few things on some flash sale websites that I thought I'd share with you all today... Firstly, Gilt is featuring a wide selection of kids shoes by Livie & Luca (I blogged previously about them here.) - these soles with soul are wonderful for little walkers, and make for a perfect back-to-school pair of shoes!
Meanwhile, over at Zulily - summer is in full swing! Check out a slew of the most super-cool organic threads for kids from Boys&Girls.
And Fab.com is selling modular lunch boxes by OOTS! Use the "bento" method to up the ante on lunchtime!
Enjoy the steals!!
Fruit Squeeze
I've been feeling super thirsty these last few weeks. Almost as thirsty as when I'm nursing! I find myself constantly craving shots of ice cold juicy fruit, carbonated splashers, and plain ol' ice water... all. day. long. While I've been drinking about a gallon of water daily during this pregnancy, it suddenly seems to not be quite enough! I want juice and sweet, tart, shots of sugary goodness.
My husband did a little impromptu grocery run last week to the health food store, and brought home the most delicious and refreshing frozen treats! Jolly Lama Squeeze Ups are made of all fresh, whole ingredients that create the most silkily satisfying shot of sorbet. He was struck by the kosher symbol, natural ingredients, but mostly, the mod graphics. :) Anyways, we've sure been enjoying them - Freida's hooked. And it's a far better freezer treat for a kid than any of the other "natural" pops out there. Plus, I've been polishing off pregnant-sized boxes of them!
You can check them out at your local Whole Foods, Sprouts, and other stores that carry a variety of healthier fare. They're really worth a try - especially if you're a sorbet lover! Plus, how quirkily great is that name?? :)
Zucchini Latkes
Okay, I know I've mentioned these before - but they're insanely delicious enough to share properly!! Head directly over to Smitten Kitchen for the detailed recipe and enjoy these latkes of the garden variety!!
Also, don't forget about these intensely satisfying Root Latkes, and these party-perfect Vodka Latkes!!
Happy Holiday Fressing!! :)
