Who She Was Before She Was Babushka
Her name is Maria Lubchenko and she was born in the Ukraine. When she was 15, the Nazi regime rounded up everyone in her small village and she spent some time in a concentration...
It is no secret that I have a picky eater. I mean my youngest may just be the pickiest eater around. It is tough with her. All the time.
Since we are always constantly challenged, my husband and I have come up with a few ways that really work for us so I thought that I would share with you:
My child loves to dip things. One of her favorite things is carrots and ranch. I noticed that she hardly puts any ranch on there so I started giving her other vegetables the same way, with a little ranch. I can get her to eat pretty much anything as long as we serve it to her with something to dip it in.
I love making smoothies. It was one of my favorite things when I was pregnant and now I love making them for my kids as well. It is a great way to make certain that are eating all of their fruit and a perfect way to sneak in some veggies as well. I always manage to get some greens in there and they never even know.
One of the other ways we have gotten my daughter to eat is by letting her cook it. She will anything that she cooks so we try to get her involved as often as possible.
For the next few months, I will be working with BOOST Kid Essentials which is one of the things that we give my daughter to drink. She loves it and we love that she will dirnk it so easily.

There are many other families who go through the same thing that we go through when it comes to our daughter's nutrition. I am constantly worrying about if she is getting enough. Food. Nutrients. Vitamins.
