Child Friendly Guacomole – no spice and no tomatoes please Mummy
With the widely celebrated Mexican holiday, Cinco de Mayo fast approaching. This colorful and happy celebration which is widely celebrated in the United States, goes hand-in-hand with consuming the avocado-based dip, guacamole. However, for Little Ones, celebrating with a traditional dish is not always an option because of the spices or herbs which are usually added.
Choosing safe and eco-friendly toys for your children
Play time is important for children to develop skills, to learn how to share and to use their imaginations. One way that young children explore the world is by sucking and chewing on those toys. Unfortunately, many toys have hidden hazards within them. Choosing the right toys that are fun but also safe is an important part of parenting your children.
Moving home, the eco-friendly kind of way
Living in a different country, far away from where you spent your childhood is hard, to say the least. I know this firsthand, as I grew up in Australia and ended up falling in love and marrying a New Yorker. While my husband is very accustomed to New York City life, I admit to finding it challenging at times. Lately it seems more difficult with overwhelming feelings of missing my home, my family, my friends and just wanting to see familiar things. I think this is because my Son is growing so fast, and there is much I wish he could be experiencing living in the beautiful country I call home.

Healthy Vegetable Create-A-Stir
Today at Willy B Mum, I am creating, step-by-step, a delightfully healthy plant-based “stir”, perfect for lunch or dinner. As a canvas to build on and to have some fun with, I am using one of my favorite Non-GMO Della Rice varieties – Jasmine with Roasted Garlic.
A “stir”, is something that one creates by combining a protein, some veggies/fruit, and a sauce served on top a bed of Della rice. This is usually created with food you have on-hand in your home. So as long as you have a well stocked kitchen, the possibilities are boundless!
