My sweet daughter is already 6 months. Where has the time gone? Introducing first foods with a second child is obviously much easier than the first time around however, it all depends on baby’s preference and willingness to try new foods. While my son was ready for solids at only 4 months, my daughter on […]

Who would have thought that starting a Blog, posting a few recipes here and there and adding some (horrible) pictures would evolve into me learning how to take “better” pictures, writing Blog posts related to parenting, doing food workshops for moms, selling homemade baby food…and now hitting the local news! My interview for CBC Radio […]

I’m proud and (extremely) excited to announce that Bites for Babies fare can now be purchased locally!  My Blog, which started off as a vessel to share recipes (and keep track of them personally) developed into a “small business” of hosting workshops for moms interested in the whole make-your-own baby food process and now…SELLING baby […]

For the last two weeks there’s been a potty party going on in my house (thankfully NOT into the wee hours!).  We’ve been having a good laugh (at the expense of our carpet/my son’s pants/my daughter’s Bumbo chair, etc), getting out of control, running around the house doing the pee-pee dance, clapping and cheering out of […]

Yesterday was my first workshop as a “small business” over at Little Gem’s Children’s Consignment Boutique! It was very exciting (to say the least) as I’ve decided to take Bites for Babies to another level.  There’s just too much passion involved for me to NOT expand my culinary horizons! I recently decided to share my […]

Dear Andrea, Today you turn TWO! Happy birthday! Tanti auguri! How can I sum up all the joy you’ve brought into my life over the past two years? Firstly, I am truly grateful for you.  To say that you’ve changed my life is an understatement.  Becoming a mother has surpassed all my expectations.  Before I […]

Happy (belated) Easter everyone! Our Easter was a little crazy and unfortunately virus-filled! My son was getting over a cold and my husband started his day by greeting the toilet What better way to start Easter Sunday! The plan was set; Mass at 11:00, rush home to prepare the apps and pasta, grandparents and uncle […]

I’ve been so busy blogging and cooking up a storm in my little kitchen lately (why, oh why, did I have to fall so in love with this house that I convinced myself to overlook the size of the KITCHEN?!).  Inspiration comes easy for me- all I have to do is think of an ingredient […]

Pregnancy should be a glorious time for new and seasoned moms. As much as we cherish those 9 months of our body transformation, we also have to accept the not-so positive changes, like the backaches, cramping, nausea, the list obviously goes on. If it wasn’t stressful enough dealing with all of these changes as a […]

Long gone are the days when we tip-toed around the house in fear of waking my son from his nap (okay, that might be a slight exaggeration!).  And to think we were so worried about making the transition from his crib to a toddler bed (remember the post, Bye Bye Crib, Hello Toddler Bed?), only to […]
