The best snacks for your little! Gerber® Lil’ Beanies(TM)

parenting June 17, 2016

Do you have children? More than likely, if you’re reading this, you do. Being a mom of three I’ve learned the hard way when it comes to feeding my children. Learning what they like, don’t like, and what they consider a snack. With my two oldest boys I believe (knock, knock) that I’ve got the science down when it comes to what each of them will eat for a snack. With my daughter Ryan, it’s another story.

She has been a hassle. Getting her to eat anything is hard. She has to be one of our pickiest eaters out of the three.  So one day I got the bright idea that maybe if I let her think that she is picking it herself that she will eat it. So when it comes to eating (lunch for instance) and I want the kids to eat hotdogs. I have to let her pick her hotdog out of the bag and she will eat it. Now if I were to prepare it, heat it up, cut it and serve it to her. No way on Gods green earth would she take a bite. I know, she’s weird! haha

I was struggling with finding things for her to snack. While I was at Walmart looking for the perfect (Gerber® Lil’ Beanies(TM)) snack, I decided to try the same thing I do with her for lunch and let her hold them in the store to start the thought going through her head that it was her “idea” to get them.

I chose Gerber® Lil’ Beanies(TM) for many different reasons. First thing would be is that they come in two different flavors. Original and White cheddar & broccoli. But that’s not it. They are the perfect size for her to reach in, grab and I know she won’t choke. Lil’ Beanies(TM) is made from the goodness of navy beans to deliver 2 grams of protein (9% Daily Value), 1 gram of fiber and 10% Daily Value of Vitamin E per serving. And with me being on the health kick that I am I was amazed at these little statistics.

When we got home, I took her snacks out, pulled my camera out (she loves pictures) and decided before we opened them up to let her give them a try I’d do the same. Let her hold them, try and open them, and see where it took us. Let’s just say it was a success! Although I knew she would love the flavor, the trick was to get her to taste it to begin with. Now, the hard part is trying to keep my six-year-old from eating them all. Today he actually asked me if he could feed her some Lil’ Beanies(TM)” AKA, “can I pretend to feed her while I eat them all myself”. That little trickster.

Living Life one day at a time

But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

Joshua 24:15 Joshua 24:15

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.

Colossians 3:23-24 Colossians 3:23-24

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Psalm 73:26 Psalm 73:26
