As Lillie quickly wraps up her first year, it is easy to reflect on how much of a researcher I have become. As soon as we discovered she had a neurological disorder called Agenesis of the Corpus Callosum, I took a part-time job just googling the best products and best brands for our little girl. This was something that we did with Ollie as well. Honestly, becoming a parent turns you into a researcher in general; however, I feel like this little girl made it even more important to know what we were putting on and in our bodies as a family.
With having 2 kids within 2 years, my time to make DIY products and homemade food has dwindled into basically nothing, but I still felt as if with her condition, it was increasingly important for good and healthy products to be in our home. I needed something fast, easy, and still healthy for her.
Thank you, Beech-Nut® Naturals™, for sponsoring this post, Beech-Nut® Naturals™ MommyParties™. I was selected for this opportunity by Beech-Nut® Naturals™; the content and opinions expressed here are all my own. I'm also not a nutritionist. These are just my experiences.
So of course when I was contacted by Beech-Nut® Naturals™ to host one of their MommyParties, I was elated. Why not share with my gals why their baby food checked all of our boxes, specifically two of them:
1. Ingredients you can pronounce.
This is huge in our home. As parents, we do not want anything artificial or chemical-filled in our homes. With Lillie, we have learned so much about our endocrine systems and things that disrupt it… if you can’t pronounce the word on the back of the box (of truly anything), it is probably disrupting something in your body.
2. Real food for babies.
It’s Beech-Nut® Naturals™ tagline to assurance us parents that their products is full of real food for our precious babes! Real fruits and vegetables. Nothing artificial. It is as simple as that!
We are so grateful that we were able to invite some of our close mommy friends together this past weekend to share and inform them on why Beech-Nut® Naturals™ is such a great choice for their family. We were able to pass the jars around to taste their products, play Beech-Nut® Bingo, and share amazing milestones that our babes have recently hit. It is so nice to get a group of gals together for any reason, but having a space where we can learn how to be the best moms we can be is even better!
At the end of the morning, we were able to send our guests home with a wonderful swag bag from Beech-Nut® that included samples of Beech-Nut® Naturals™ puree jars, baby jar koosies drink holders, and a recipe card for a yummy muffins inspired by Beech-Nut®!
Of course, Lillie enjoyed every last bit of her jar. She was obviously upset when the morning with our friends was over and her jar was empty! We cannot be grateful enough for companies like Beech-Nut® Naturals™ who provides us great products so we don’t have to worry… because we have enough to worry about!
