Kids Central Kitchen: Kid Friendly Baking

Cooking with your kids is good old-fashioned, messy fun.

While most of the time, I take the time to bake from scratch with the boys letting them measure and mix to their hearts content sometimes we just have to pull out a mix to make things easier. Kids Central Kitchen has created a collection of kids friendly baking mixes with whole grains, no trans fats, no hydrogenated oils, no high fructose corn syrup and no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. Even with all the good stuff, they have been kid-tested to ensure that they still taste great!




They have a whole variety of mixes to choose from including chocolate chip cookies, brownies and pancakes. Our household favorite is definitely the Swinging Monkey Banana Bread!

Winter Must Have: JJ Cole Infant Urban Bundleme Bunting

This week arrived with a chill in their air and the first snow of the season. My mind instantly turned to winter coats, sweaters, and warm snuggling clothing. Living in Minnesota it is always a challenge to keep babies warm during that brisk walk from home to car, car to store, store to store, and anywhere else need to go.

I love quilted Infant Urban Bundleme Bunting by JJ Cole. Perfect for bundling up your urban baby! The Urban Bundle Me cuddles up your infant in warmth and shelters them from winters elements. The high-quality, water-resistant quilted fabric eliminates the need for bulky jackets or blankets.

It has been designed to work with 3 and 5-point harness systems easing the transition between car seats, strollers and jogging strollers while offering the maximum safety.

When it gets dirty as it inevitably will -- just toss it in the washing machine for cleaning.
