Disney on Ice, plus a food allergy episode
Last week I took my 17 month old to watch Disney on Ice with my family. I found out about it thanks to a bunch of friends who shared their experience on Instagram stories, so I asked my sisters if they wanted to watch with me.

Thoughts on my daughter’s new walking skills.
J started walking at almost 14.5 months old. She was taking steps here and there but didn’t really walk until last weekend when we attended a birthday party and she saw another baby walking and there was a wide padded floor area for her to go for it.

Sunbutter vs Trader Joe’s Sunflower seed spread
I love Trader Joe’s, and finding food allergy safe stuff for us. Since I had still had this Sunbutter jar open, I decided to do a side by side taste test to see if Sunbutter manufactures the TJ’s spread, and I’m pretty sure they do.
