A Mindful Life

Blueberries are in season and delicious, extra bonus that they are so good for you and the perfect toddler finger food. You’ll see them a lot in Sofie’s lunches. We eat them with breakfast too. In fact, I just froze a big batch to have on hand for smoothies. You may be thinking, geez, these lunches are a bit boring, and well…I’ll admit it was kind of a strange week so I didn’t get to the grocery store as much and didn’t do as much meal planning…so we have many standbys here from items we usually have in the house. Luckily, Sofie didn’t seem to notice.
