How do you get your kids to eat vegetables?
This post is sponsored through my partnership with Bitsy’s Brainfood. We’ve always been thankful that for the most part, Liv is an adventurous eater.

Registry must-haves
(the things we registered for and got a ton of use, and also stood the text of time!) One of the fun yet intimidating aspects of my first pregnancy was trying to figure out our baby registry and what we needed to prepare for Liv’s arrival. Of course, all a baby really needs is to be…

Livi-isms
Livi: “I’m going to be a doctor.” Me: “What kind of doctor would you like to be?” Livi: “A brain doctor. Then I’m going to give you a shot.” “I would NEVER, ever, in the whole wide world. I would never kiss a frog!” “Mom, listen to me. Wait, listen. I said…
