I swear, my 1 year old Luca Olesya, must have been a meg gifted baseball player in her last life. She keeps throwing us these mighty curve balls with great agility. The latest being refusing to eat her baby food.. rice, porridge etc. Initially we were at our wits end trying to figure out what […]

Taking Care of your 3 Highs
What are the 3 Highs? Before last week, I actually had no idea. But being an active person, and also a big believer in doing my annual check ups, I was in fact, already keeping tabs on my 3 Highs, without knowing it. According to National Health and Morbidity Survey 2015, nearly 1 in every […]
Recipe – Salmon Porridge for Babies
It’s been a trying week. Me, down with the flu. Bubs, sprouting new teeth. And can you believe she will be ONE this month? Unbelievable.. where did the time go? Luca has morphed into a toddler before my very eyes. The infant is gone, and I kind of miss the innocence in her eyes, now […]
Healthy Minced Meat Porridge with Broccoli, Carrots & Cauliflower Recipe
This is the period of getting creative and cooking different types of porridge for Luca so that she doesn’t get bored with eating the same sort of semi-solids as she transitions to solids. She is nearly 1-year-old now and has a pretty handsome set of front row teeth already;) I wash all my veggies and […]

Just SquEEEzeMeBaby!
One of the best things I discovered this year for Luca, is SqueeezeMeBaby (SMB). For busy mothers with infants who are entering 6 month of age and upwards, and about to experiment with semi-solids, SMB is fantastic. The SMB concept is all about getting superfoods, into tiny pouches for the benefit of your growing baby’s nutrition. […]
Eat Chocolates for a healthy Pregnancy!
Boy was I glad to see this statement. Recently, I’ve been the chocolate monster, supplementing every meal with a couple of truffles or dark chocolate bon bons once I’m done. I never used to have a sweet tooth, I tell ya. According to one American double-blind trial, chocolate can improve placental function and decrease your […]
Watermelon are a Pregnant Woman’s best friend!
I love watermelon. Heck I love most fruits really, and thank God I married a man who’s as mad about fruits as I am. If you’re pregnant, the benefits are even more fabulous. Watermelon eases heartburn and reduces swelling; its high water content (92 percent) and fruit sugars can help alleviate morning sickness and dehydration; […]
