Spaghetti Squash!

Do you know about spaghetti squash? Toddlers often love spaghetti squash! It's a vegetable! But it looks like angel hair pasta!
Tastes great with anything you'd use on regular pasta. I usually do it up with oil and parmesan, but sometimes we just mix it with whatever jar of tomato sauce is open.
We all three like spaghetti squash, and it's pretty easy to make. But many people don't even KNOW about it, so I'm doing my part to spread the word.
Yum! Eat it!

The First Years Meal Mates Smart Serve Suction Bowl

I was really excited about this bowl, hoping Belle wouldn't try too hard to pull up on the suction, or better still, that the suction would hold against pulling. Sadly, it just offers a mild challenge, resulting in a more impressive splaying of food once the goal is achieved. Not very suctiony.
I think it might be better when she's older and isn't as interested in the bowl itself? Maybe I'll check in about that in a year.

Checking in

I'm too busy to blog.
I just don't want to make the time; I have other things I like better than rehashing what's already happened.
I twitter now, under my real name so no link.
I do write a monthly letter to my daughter, but by hand in a journal, to her.

All that said, there are some things I love that I want to let people know about, just to improve the world at large.

PARENTS! Friends of parents looking for a clever gift! Do you know about the...

It's awesome. Click the link; I'm not going to bother to explain.
Kiddopotomus is a clever little company.

Belle never leaves the house without our
Skip*Hop Pronto
It's a diaper wallet. You don't actually need anything else all the time, so you can just pack a separate bag with the day's goods, and keep this thing fully stocked at all times. I loooove it.

That's all for now. More when I think of it.
