Quesadillas might be your answer to a picky kid. Every kid has their food quirks – I’ve been a mom for a short 10 months and I already know this to be true.  And just to complicate things, the quirks change without notice.  Sweet D ate all of her veggies without resistance until suddenly thanks …

Sweet D is 10 months old this week – she’s been eating solids for 4 months.  As you can imagine, being the foodie that I am, I was very excited about introducing her to the wide world of foods and flavors.  But it wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be.  Eventually she got …

I was trying to think of something yummy to make for my family over Easter weekend because when we are all together it is the perfect opportunity to have an audience to ohhh and awww over my baked goods. Plus, it is more people to actually eat the desserts instead of my husband and I …

Since we had three children (ages 2, 4 and 6) and the grandparents, we were looking for a cruise that would appeal to both young …

We just returned from a weekend adventure to the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells. If you haven’t heard of this indoor/outdoor waterpark resort, you should!  Kalahari is a full-featured resort that offers something for everyone in the family from the babies to the grandparents. While Wisconsin can be brutally cold in the winter, it’s always …

It’s time for Valentine’s Day Activities for kids! I love coming up with new ways to make a holiday special for my kids. Now that my oldest son is 8, he appreciates all the little things we do together (and they don’t have to cost money) so much more. Here are some creative ways to …

We usually write all about baby gear here at Baby Gizmo (okay, except the recipe this morning!) but I just had to tell you a story.  I don’t normally write about this kind of stuff but the wound is so fresh right now that I wanted to get down the details so that if I …
