As a germaphobe, I thought I would be prepared for a pandemic. Going into the chaos of the Winter blues earlier this year to a full-blown pandemic has really been eye opening.

One day he was so into it, then the next, he would cry like no ones business. It left us extremely confused. Continue reading Our food journey-starting solids
