It’s no secret that my Oliver likes to eat. We are very fortunate to have raised a healthy little foodie who generally eats his veggies. But there are days, where, like most toddler moms I worry about making sure he gets veggies in! Sometimes it’s a busy work week and we are low on groceries. Sometimes, I just don’t have the time needed to make a fancy toddler lunch and steam different veggies every day of the week. Or like this last week, O has been recovering from a nasty cold virus. He has had a decreased appetite and I’m happy if he eats anything! But then I secretly worry that maybe strawberries and graham cracker bunnies wasn’t the best lunch. Happy Family’s new Love My Veggies organic tot snacks to the rescue!
You may have noticed, I don’t do a lot of sponsored posts. But I do share what I love with my readers. When Happy Families asked if we would want to participate in their Love My Veggies challenge we were super excited. First of all, I love and trust this brand. When it comes to feeding my kids, I’m skeptical of ingredient lists on a lot of brands that aim their snacks at kids. From the get-go I loved that when I would read the back of the package on Happy Family products the ingredients were simple and pure. And typically read something like this: Organic broccoli, organic apples. Yes!
Happy Family’s new Love My Veggies organic tot snacks are the first toddler pouch to contain one full serving of vegetables (One serving of vegetables is 1/4 cup). In addition to one full serving of vegetables, Love My Veggies pouches provide essential nutrients including Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Iron and Magnesium to help nourish toddlers’ growing bodies. And for those of you with veggie haters, they are all mixed with fruit so your toddler will be none the wiser, and you can sneak those veggies in without them knowing!
Love My Veggies pouches are available in three great-tasting varieties including:
• banana, beet, squash & blueberry
• carrot, banana, mango & sweet potato
• spinach, apple, sweet potato & kiwi
and you can pick up a 4-pack of 4.22 oz. Love My Veggies pouches at Target for $5.89.

I came across your blog when you were pregnant with Oliver–I was due just a month or so after you and found your blog through Pinterest. Because it was both of our firsts, I was curious to see how things were going for another new mom–add in the fact that we live very different lives, you living out in California and me being a high school teacher in southern Illinois–it was fun to see that when you get down to it, we are all the same. We worry big and love big and want what is best for our kiddos.
I have a daughter named Emery Kayt who will be 2 early this summer. I have continued to follow your blog not just because your son is the cutest boy ever, but because our lives seem to be so similar (even though I just mentioned them being so different ha!) You are expecting number two and so are we–I am 34 weeks with a baby boy! We just moved to be back near family and have struggled with the decision on how to fit in our little duplex or make the jump and buy our first home. We are now home owners just like you. As a wife, a mother and a blogger, I want to wish you and your growing family the most happiness!
Oh–and my Em HATES veggies (besides avocados and sweet potatoes) so any way I can get her to eat more is a good thing in my book!

I first saw you on a post (I think it was pregnant chicken) where your video of cool and stylish maternity clothes – a one second a day type video was featured. It was amazing and I love your carefree look. I was pregnant at the time and my little guys is a now 18 months old. When your son was born I absolutely LOVED – the pictures you posted of him in his newborn outfits – I even hunted down the little onesie with pirate ships for my little guy. We also live in a small home and I liked your ideas for a collapsible bath and other compact ideas.
We live in Washington DC but I am originally from South Africa, so I super relate to your near permanent sunshine fashion and posts – something I miss in the winters here. My little guys is also a chunker and normally is a champion eater – lately though he is not interested in veg – terrible twos have begun in full force- I have tried a million different things but besides avo, he is not interested. I have always loved the Happytot products and curious about these “Love my Veggies”.
Gaelyn says
Yay! Thanks for commenting Shani! I’m loving learning more about my readers and what/why and how they decided to follow along! While Oliver makes very few appearances on the blog anymore, he is still all over my instagram feed if you miss him, haha.

I stumbled across your blog at a time in my pregnancy were I had lost my sense of style and was giving in to being frumpy. Your blog posts gave me inspiration and I’ve always been grateful.
Our boys are a few days apart and I feel, share similar adorable cheekbones. I enjoy following along with your family adventures and am excited for your new addition!!
I have used Happy Family products before and have been very pleased with them. Rhett is a great eater, but I often feel like he eats more fruit than vegetables. I’m excited that the pouches combine the two. I am definitely going to Target!!
Mary Varuska says
Oh sweet lady, I first started following you back when we were both pregnant with out little boys. If I remember correctly, you popped up on the popular page on my Instagram. I was immediately in love with your style, writing, and just wonderfull sense of self. Your blog gave me ideas on how to dress well during maternity and was what inspired me to try Sakura Bloom slings… A post showing you and Emily wearing your sweet babes out on a family adventure.
Ronin Riot will be two in July, and hopefully I’ll be able to say we’re expecting soon! He’s a veggie monster – and pouches are such a handy way to have them on the go!
Ashley says
I discovered your blog though Instagram. It apparetly thought we should know each other and I’m glad I found your blog because of it. I have a son, Benjamin, who turns the good ol’ age of two next month. Eek! He has a love hate realationship with veggies. Thanks for the chance to win!

I found your blog by putting around twitter and typing in random words, and wow, what a great and informative site. My daughter, Julia, is 14 months old, and my son, Cooper, is three, going on adulthood:-)
