WFMW- Yogurt Smoothies and Diaper Boxes

When I had terrible morning (all day) sickness the first oh....six months or so of this pregnancy I found it rather challenging to feed Javen breakfast (or any meal for that matter.) He loves yogurt in the morning, which at the time just repulsed me...until I came up with the yogurt smoothie. I'd take his cup of yogurt (we like YoBaby and/or YoKids) and stir it into his sippy cup of milk. (Easy to make, no mess, no clean up!) He would down it in no time flat, every single morning. (He always requested it, so I didn't vary much during those months.) If he was still hungry I could toss some Cheerios, Kix or whatever cereal we had on hand into his bowl and breakfast was a snap. Now that I don't get sick at the sight of food anymore, I don't serve it every day, but it's still his favorite food in the morning!

My other "makes life easier" tip is the trick I discovered in opening diaper boxes. We're a Pampers family and we purchase them by the box every 2 weeks or so. The top of the box is always taped shut almost to the point of needing a chainsaw to break into that bad boy. However, the bottom is secured with just a little bit of glue and it's SO easy to rip open...even while wrangling a wiggly baby or toddler with your other hand. So if you're purchase diapers buy the box, I highly recommend flipping it over to open...no sharp tools needed!
