It's hard to find someone who doesn't  looooove peanut butter and chocolate.

They are practically made for one another and I'm not one to come between a perfect relationship.

Well, cookies aren't necessarily part of a healthy diet but, I choose to live by the 80/20 rule, eat well 80% of the time and treat yourself 20%. So, if I have a bit of a sweet tooth I love to whip up my Decadent Dark Chocolate PB Cookies! I can enjoy a treat and not feel guilty about it!

With both of my girls, I'm very particular about what I feed them and of course this starts off from day 1.

With Michaela, I decided that I would make my own organic purees from the get go. It was a very fun and rewarding experience and though she is no longer eating the purees, I did discover Baby Gourmet when I happened to be out and about at Wal-Mart. They are 100% certified Canadian organic, have no added salt or sugar and they come in so many delectable flavors that will tickle your baby's little taste buds. These were perfect to just leave in my parent's shelf for visits and I had sound mind that she was still getting healthy food! I've even mixed it into smoothies for Gabs and she's 7 years-old and she loved it!

It's a very versatile and healthy food! Whether you solely buy store made or make your own! It's great to supplement when you can't make your own!

They come in different stages, Stage 1, 2 and 3 to grow with your baby. For more information and to see what flavors may interest you, visitBabyGourmet.com Products!

So, guess what?

BabyGourmet.com has a special Mother's Day contest going on for you lovely Mothers! It is super easy to enter and you win a $100 gift basket of luxury feeding and baby products including Baby Gourmet foods of course!

Share your memories, remincise and celebrate being a mama! The winning entry will be published on Baby Gourmet's Facebookpage and win this super fabulous $100 gift basket of goodies!

For those interested, one of my most memorable moments of my first year of being a mother were the quiet, late nights... Just me and baby, lying in bed nursing. Looking into each other's eyes as I caressed her little downy hair while I watched her nod to sleep in pure milk drunkenness. The house was so still and quiet and the light was warm and dim. It's moments like those that I will never forget and cherish forever.

The Rules:

Your most cherished memory and comment IS your entry m'deres! This contest is open to both my Canadian and American mommas! I will choose the winner and submit it to Baby Gourmet and they will send you your gift basket! Please leave your email or Twitter handle to get a hold of you for your prize!

Getting to know you Question #8! Tags: Getting to know you questions Making friends food

                                                          

I can't believe it is Monday! Seriously, I swear each week goes faster and faster!

Here is the question of the week:

What's your favorite food?  

Hmm.. that is a difficult question for me. I really don't have an answer for that one! What can I say, I'm a cancer. We LOVE food!  There is very little I don't like and so much I adore! Picking one food is just not possible for me!

 I am going to stay pretty general for this one. I love Tai food! That is what I crave if I go to long without it! Lol. My best friend is Tai (she is a mod here! Say hi Marie!!),  I practically lived at her house as a teen. That is when I was first introduced to authentic Tai food. I have learned how to make some of my fave dishes myself so that I can have it whenever I want. We also have "Tai nights" at my house. It's great! We get together and start cooking! Our guys love it! They spend the day dodging us so they don't have to help (never works out for them for long though) and then spend the night stuffing their faces! It is so much fun! If any of you are ever in the Medicine Hat area give us a call!  

5 Things I'm Obsessed With ATM.

Hey guys, I was inspired by Mama Kat and thought I'd list 5 Things outta the gazillion that have me going gaga this summer. So, here they are! Make sure to let me know what yours are, I'm curious to know!

1. Fro-Yo. Ohhh yeah, I love me some frozen yogurt. Anything with chocolate, nuts or ribbons of caramel or chocolate or BOTH, I want it. Even the fruity kinds, I'm game. So good and so tantalizing. Go get some! :P Shoot, I'm about to now!

2. The iPhone 4, I needs it and I wants it and I wants it NOW. My phone is my lifeline and well, let's face it. The iPhone rocks and I think it's time for me to upgrade my current iPhone for the iPhone 4.

So, how many times did I say iPhone?

LOL.

3. Leather cuffs. Or just plain cuffs in general. I've always been a huge  fan and love wearing cuffs. Whether they are watches or simply cuffs. Some say they may be a bit masculine but, I don't care.  My diamond studded Chanel cuff begs to differ! :P I like them girly and masculine, depending on my mood. I love them and I'm looking to expand my collection.

4. Chocolate covered pretzels. Yes, they are heaven and my current guilty pleasure, well, besides Fro-Yo... Also, have you noticed two of my top 5 are desserts?

Gosh.

Anyway, this is self-explanatory. Now, go and get some and enjoy a melting chocolate delight mixed with a hint of salty bliss! (Though, I wish they were made salt-free but then they wouldn't be the same. Pooptar.)

5. This is such a mommy must-have. The Baby Bjorn carrier. I am amazed at how freakin' comfortable it is and Mimi loves it and never cries while she's in it. My back doesn't hurt and well, she LOVES it, as do I. Going to be awesome during traveling and for everyday use. Most definitely worth the price. Best of all, it makes my life MUCH easier. So a girl can't help to be obsessed huh?

Well, that's about it... CURRENTLY. But, don't forget to let me know what you've been craving or what you just can't help buy, maybe you'll spark another obsession for me!

EEEP!

Til then, cheers guys!
