Tchoup Industries Feature

I think everybody has that one "thing" that they wish they could wear without being judged. For me-- that is fanny packs and mom jeans. Am I the only one who has been obsessed with fanny packs for years and afraid to wear them? I'm finally at the point in life where I don't really care what others think of my style. I've decided that I'm going to own it with confidence because it makes me happy. Before Eloise, I would drool over fancy purses at Nordstrom and dream of having a closet full of designer clothes, bags and shoes. But as I get older, I realize that I value well made, practical products way more than a big brand name. As a mom, a product that allows me to be 100% handsfree AND is really well made from an amazing small company is exactly what I obsess over these days. Because let's be real, I have a stage-five-clinger-19-month-old-daughter who rarely lets me put her down in public, so I usually look like a hot mess trying to hold a wiggly toddler, my diaper bag and pay for my iced coffee all at once. Let's just say, the fanny pack changed my life.

SO let me introduce you to Tchoup Industries and remind you that you should wear what makes you comfortable... don't let judgments or trends make you who you are. Be you and don't worry about the rest.

Toddler Meals with Re-Play Recycled

Eloise has always been a good eater, but she goes through a lot of food phases so I'm constantly guessing on what she currently likes. Yesterday, she hated peanut-butter toast but today she kept asking for more after eating an entire piece. Now that she's getting better at communicating, we try to give her  more food options so she can tell us yes or no. But I feel like I'm constantly on Pinterest looking for new ideas and recipes for toddler food, so if you have any good ideas please leave me a comment! E is loving avocados and berries still (honestly, she probably eats her entire body weight in fruit each week). She loves turkey wraps for lunch and will specifically ask for "cheese please" all day. She also loves ice-cream. We give her "bites" when we have it in the house and she says "a bite?! a bite?!" over and over.. it's the cutest thing.
