Now that Alder is eating solids, he of course loves all things Love Child Organics just like his big sister. The Teethie crackers are a favourite for this teething babe, he had six teeth when he was seven months and seems to be constantly working on more teeth! 

Love Child Organics also has an amazing cookbook, written by one of the co-founders of the brand, Leah Garrod-Cole. "It All Begins with Food", I can't recommend it enough! It has an amazing breakdown of starting solids with your babies, toddler snacks, family meals and more! I forgot how overwhelming it is starting to feed your baby solids, and this book helped me so much! These amazing Mango Coconut Muffins are from the book and are so delicious! 

Another thing I love about Love Child Organics is their love for spreading love! They have several non-profit partnerships, helping children with Nourishment and Basic Needs, Play, Literacy and Health. 

If you haven't tried their products before, I highly recommend them! I honestly can't say enough good things about them! Have you tried them before?

When I first heard about the local meal delivery company Cook.Eat.Repeat, I was so excited! I have been trying hard to shop local and small, so it's perfect!

As a busy Mama of two, some weeks just go above my head and meal planning goes out the window. Some days there is just not enough coffee to get this brain functioning, haha! Healthy and nutritious meal kits delivered to my door? Yes please!

I ordered the Fish Tacos and Power Bowl, and was impressed by both. All the ingredients were portioned out, the instructions were simple & straightforward and the recipes didn't take long to make. I also love how the garlic came already peeled! Anyone else hate peeling garlic? Haha!

Both recipes were so tasty, and Emery & the hubby loved them as well! I've also tried their Veggie Quinoa Burgers and the Shrimp Stuffed Squash, which were so yummy! 

One of the things I really enjoyed about Cook.Eat.Repeat, is that all of the meals are created & perfected by a Registered Dietitian. All of the meals are portion controlled and nutritionally balanced.  I love not having to worry about if the meal is balanced enough.

Another thing I loved about their service is that they work with local Alberta farmers and purveyors. They care about animal welfare and work hard to source their meal and animal products from Alberta farmers and producers who honour similar values. They also source their produce locally as much as they can, which depends on seasonality and availability.

Meal delivery times are on Mondays & Wednesdays, and you can ever choose if you want them delivered in the morning or evening. You have to order by Friday for the following week delivery. The Roasted Pepper Veg Balls with coconut mashed potatoes on next weeks menu look super tasty!

Let me know if you try it out! Happy cooking!

I have done so much purging in my closet the last couple of months. I'm really down to only a few tops that currently fit and that I feel good wearing. This Mama Bird Muscle Tee by The Bee and The Fox that I got from Shop The Skinny is one piece that is in constant rotation. 

This Mama Bird Tee is a piece I thought about for quite awhile before I purchased it. I have been trying not to impulse buy things and only picking pieces I love. I have also been trying to be more aware of where I am buying my clothes and where they are made, I'll share more on that another time.

 This T-Shirt also comes in cream & in a different style but it's more form fitting then I am into these days. I'm also really digging The Tough As a Mother Sweatshirt as well. I'm looking for a few more t-shirts to add to my collection, what are some of your favourites?
