I remember feeding that first bite of solid food to each of my boys. That scrunched up face and tongue that didn’t quite know what to do or how to chew. It was adorable and photo and video worthy. I’m sure those of you who have seen a child take their first bite of food can remember that very same moment.
YoBaby yogurt was always an easy option during those early years. Grabbing a few yogurt containers or tubes and throwing them in the diaper bag with an ice pack was part of the routine. They would reappear just before a meltdown on the playground or while dragging my poor third child to multiple sporting events. In retrospect he really was a trooper.
[2]Many times a spoon didn’t make it into the diaper bag, but that yogurt was still handed out in sheer desperation to any child who was about to lose it. It was truly a lifesaver. By the time we made it home on most days it looked as though we’d been through a war zone. But the kids were well fed and happy. That’s what truly matters, isn’t it?
Choosing organic foods [3] was high on the priority list when my kids were little and still remains at the top of the list today. In a nutshell, products with an organic certification [4] are grown without the use of pesticides [5], synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, genetically modified organisms, or ionizing radiation. Animals that produce meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products do not take antibiotics or growth hormones. There’s more good news when it comes to organic foods: USDA certified products cannot intentionally contain GMOs [6].
I’ve been working closely with one of my favorite brands, Stonyfield [7], for many years. I was a loyal Stonyfield customer long before our partnership began. It’s sort of an organic match, wouldn’t you say?
Happy 16th Birthday YoBaby!
I’m always up for celebrating a birthday. This year YoBaby yogurt [8]is turning 16. It’s been a true pleasure watching this brand that I care so much about grow, mature and continue to serve up more and more organic products. It never ceases to amaze me when I find a Stonyfield product in a remote shop on the side of the road. Take a peek at my Instagram feed to check out a few of my Stonyfield sightings. Stonyfield is making quality organic products accessible to everyone and that’s something truly commendable.
Happy Sweet 16 YoBaby. My own babies aren’t quite old enough to drive, but soon enough they’ll be joining your ranks!
