February Happened – Coffee (or Wine) Chat
Pictured above: We visited Great Wolf Lodge for a kid-centric getaway, and it was (surprisingly) super fun! The girls are looking forward to our next visit. I went to the Dior exhibit at the Denver Art Museum (without the girls) and it was amazing! Definitely worth going to see it if it comes to a museum near you. Sometimes all you can do in life is get the kiddos, whom are still in their pjs with wild hair, out of the house at 4pm for a walk around your neighbor. Elliette took her first official ski lesson, and is now hooked! WHAT'S HAPPENING IN MY WORLD It’s been awhile since we have had a chance to catch up, but like any good friends, we can easily start just were we left off! Even with my best efforts of preventive holistic care - we spent most of February passing around a long-lived cold. The girls each took 5 days off of school (not at the same time of course) and then Elliette had a week off of school for teacher training and conferences. So I had a lot of ...

The only two redeeming things about sick days are endless cuddles and a cup of wholesome and delicious homemade chicken noodle soup.

Easy-Peasy 5 Veggie Pasta for Baby + Toddler
This Easy-Peasy 5 Veggie Pasta is a nutritious and flavorful meal for baby and toddler! Great for baby-led weaning or the finger food stage! 6+ months and up. This wholesome dish is made by tossing together your favorite pasta, a whopping 5 different veggies and a simple yet delicious basil dressing. For the veggies, I used a mixture of frozen corn, carrots, peas, green beans (I chopped them before cooking) and red peppers but you can use whatever frozen or fresh veggies you have on hand or that baby or toddler prefers. You should have everything on hand to make the super simple (yet favorable) basil dressing that is made with dried basil, garlic powder and olive oil. If you have fresh basil on hand, you can totally use a tablespoon of chopped fresh basil in place of the dried basil, but my kiddos tend to like the dried basil version better in this dish.
