As Rookie Moms, Heather and Whitney of Berkeley, CA, decided to do at least one activity per day with their children. The activities are meant to be enjoyable for mom and help her get out of the house. Often the activities involve eating, which is always challenging with a new baby, like getting meals on the table every night.
Rookie Moms eating activities range from food suggestions (try adding cumin to avocado - kids love it!) to tips that make your life easier like signing up for a meal planning e-newsletter. There are also suggestions on things to do locally like going to the tasting room at L.A.'s Homemade Baby, a maker of home-style organic recipes, cooked under a Le Cordon Bleu Chef's supervision in a certified organic kitchen.
So if you're a new parent - or even an experienced one with a small child - check out Rookie Moms. Because you never know when you'll find advice that you can really use, like this post:
If baby likes to sleep in the carseat, it is great to patronize nearby drive-through businesses so you can have a destination. Maybe it’s an In-N-Out or a drive-through Starbucks. If you’re creative and persuasive, you might get normal businesses to serve you curbside if business is slow. As I was doing our environment a disservice by driving around to keep Holden asleep, I called up Baby World on Telegraph Avenue and asked if they could possibly come outside and take my credit card and bring me some things I needed. Score! If your baby is a car napper, keep the phone number of a store like this in your cell phone.
I love this idea and wish I had thought of it when my kids were small. While they still fall asleep in the car, waking them up isn't a problem. But it was a HUGE deal when they were infants.
