Our New Obsession!

The new obsession in the Smith household is homemade yogurt pops! We have those old-school Tupperware popsicle molds but they updated them with cool, Mickey Mouse ear 'sticks.' So I used them last summer then put them away. But, snack time has been a little boring around here, so I broke out the molds and we started mixing. Yogurt, juice, milk, creme fraiche, whipping cream, frozen berries, chocolate, cocoa powder, honey, bananas to name just a few of our yummy organic ingredients!! Blend in the magic bullet and it's pure yumminess on a stick! Seriously- the kids are CRAZY for these- a batch makes 6 popsicles and they each want 3/day! Naomi stands in front of the freezer jumping up & down begging for another! I've created monsters!! But, they are a healthy snack, so I can't complain too much!! Here are my happy campers showing off their blueberry mouths!

No-Nap Naomi

Like any other day, Naomi went down for her nap and was chatting away. She tends to do this so I didn't really think anything of it. But, after an HOUR of chatting, I decided I better check on her. Dirty diaper? No. Ok, so I gave her back all of her nap essentials (lovey, pacifier, blankie) that she had chucked out of the crib and said, "Time for naptime. Go to sleep" and left to exercise. Well, she never fell asleep, so I gave in and went to get her.
WOW. I opened the door to a pant-less and diaper-less babe! Smiling from ear to ear and yelling, "I pee!" I instantly checked the crib sheet. Dry. Hmm... I guess she was just telling me she was wet. Ok. But, she's never done that before- she managed to remove her cloth diaper, wool longies. and toss the crib items back out. She was happy as a lark tho, so I had to video tape it for future reference! My little Nomi...
