How has our littlest baby been with us over two months?! Time sure does fly! As a third-time mom, I am trying to slow down and appreciate every moment because I know just how precious this stage is.

This stage is also pretty messy. There is constant spit up — his pediatrician calls him a “happy spitter” — and constant dirty diapers. I am well aware, though, that as he grows so too will the mess! I know because his older brothers have prepped me pretty well for the constant mess that awaits! There will be messy eating, potty training, arts and crafts, and so on.

I’m excited my favorite brand of baby wipes, WaterWipes has new textured wipes to clean babies’ bigger messes. WaterWipes Textured Clean wipes can tackle messes wherever they occur as babies transition from newborn to toddler and beyond. I make sure to keep packs around the house, including the nursery nook stand, the kitchen and the living room.

WaterWipes Textured Clean are the World’s Purest Baby Wipes, containing just two simple ingredients: water and fruit extract. They contain 99.9% water and drop of fruit and berry extract for natural cleansing power. Ideal for use on hands, face and bottoms.

WaterWipes Textured Clean are safe for sensitive skin. My middle kiddo has skin irritations so it’s especially nice to know that WaterWipes Textured Clean has been awarded the Seal of Acceptance by the National Eczema Association.

You can buy WaterWipes Textured Clean at your local Walmart in-store, via pickup or via delivery.

It’s already been about a month since my husband and I have adopted a plant-based diet! I have kept it kind of on the down-low because I am not one to really share what I eat and I do not want to seemingly impose my dietary beliefs on anyone else.

That being said, we’ve really enjoyed this time. I have always joked I could do it because I’ve never been a huge fan of meat. So when Tim mentioned cutting meat and dairy from our diets, I didn’t really think twice. I sort of had been waiting for the day he’d be open to it haha! Having him on board for such a big change is a huge help to stay on track.

Another big help is meal planning! It’s so much more efficient for grocery shopping and when it comes to dinner time. Our dinner meals are usually plant-based for the whole family (though our kids still consume some meat and dairy), so it’s nice to see what’s for dinner each day of the week rather than scrambling to put dishes together at the last minute.

The Cinch! Magnetic Dry Erase Menu Board has been especially useful for menu planning. It has a cute design with bright neon liquid chalk markers that erase effortlessly with a paper towel or napkin. It has dedicated spaces for each day of the week to help lay out our meals, a grocery list area and a to do list portion so we can be prepared and organized together. If my husband is wondering what to pick up from the grocery store or I’m trying to remember what’s for dinner, all we have to do is check the board.

I should note that we’re a pretty flexible family, so our menu is never rigid. We order out some days and change up what we want others but having a drawing board to bounce off of rather than a blank slate each dinner time helps a ton. I think every family could find this Cinch! menu board helpful!

Mornings are generally hectic in our house. It’s a mad dash to the beginning of the work day for me and my husband and school day for S, while simultaneously trying to keep up with my toddler and make breakfast for everyone.

That’s why simple yet delicious breakfasts are my favorite. My new applesauce waffle recipe, using Musselman’s applesauce, was a hit among the boys, husband included. Their 100% American apples are sourced from family farms!

I added some cinnamon apples as Easter Bunny ears, and used the thickened sauce in lieu of traditional maple syrup. 

It’s safe to say I plan to add it permanently into our breakfast rotation!

Applesauce waffle ingredients:

• 1/2 cup Musselman’s Applesauce (healthy substitute for butter or oil)

  • I chose Musselman’s Cinnamon Applesauce for this recipe but you can use any of their varieties

• 1/3 cup water 

• 1 cup pre-made waffle batter 

Recipe:

1. Mix the batter, water and applesauce.

2. Pour into waffle maker

3. Cook until waffle maker signals waffles are done (5-7 minutes). 

Cinnamon apple topping ingredients:

• 1 apple sliced

• 1/4 cup water

• 1 tablespoon of flour

• A pinch of cinnamon

Recipe: 

1. Peel and slice apple.

2. Place water and apple into a skillet pan.

3. Add cinnamon and mix.

4. Add flour and mix.

5. Let simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until apples are softened.
