If you’ve been following along with our little family for a while, you know by now that Aimery and I absolutely love “cheffing it up” in the kitchen together. We are always searching for new recipes to try out and enjoy together. I swear Aimery loves scrolling through Pinterest recipes just as much as I do! 

I absolutely love spending time alone with Aimery because it really helps us bond with each other while also giving him quality time without Adlavie. It’s so important for me to make sure Aimery feels like he is getting the right amount of attention from both me and Ben, so finding fun ways for us to bond together (like cooking and baking) is essential for us right now. Aimery has always been a picky eater and it’s definitely been a learning curve for me. We try to let him choose what he wants to eat so that he can share his opinion and feel that he’s being listened to, while also being able to make his own decisions. 

If Aimery could pick one food to eat for every meal of the day, I think it would have to be french toast. This boy loves breakfast just like his mama and I’m not mad about it at all. With the help of Arnold Organic White made with Whole Wheat Bread White Bread made with Whole Wheat, Aimery and I are able to create our favorite Chunky Monkey French Toast whenever we want. What’s amazing about this bread from Arnold Organic is that it’s the perfect bread for picky eaters. Arnold Organic for Kids White Bread Made with Whole Wheat is so yummy, soft, and has such a smooth texture that kids seem to really enjoy. This bread is also plant-based, USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, and it even provides kids with a good source of Vitamin A, D, and E.
