Infant Organics: More Than Baby Food

After having so much success with baby food from Infant Organics, I was very curious to learn about their other products for older kids (and adults too)!

After stopping in at their store 300 Randall St in Oakville, I went home with some great treats for my girls. I was excited to have them try something new. I also knew from the staff in the store, that these "treats" were providing my kids with a healthy snack or meal that wouldn't have them hungry again an hour after they eat. My girls are 2 and 5. They eat well and generally I don’t have a lot of trouble getting them to eat healthy food, but I do find our routine gets a little boring. I’m always looking for new and healthy options. My girls usually enjoy trying new foods.

With the ages of my girls, we’ve been talking a lot about where food comes from. We’ve visited several farms over this fall, and my girls love to learn. We’ve picked apples and pumpkins last week, and talked a lot about the great things the farmer does to provide this food. I loved being able to take the opportunity to chat with my girls about this again. The fresh ingredients used to make their snacks is 100% certified organic, and purchased from local farmers. My girls loved hearing that the food they were eating came from a local farm, just a day or 2 ago!

My 5 year old is also learning about recycling and composting at school. She is always asking us “which bin” for different products. She was so surprised to learn that the packaging was biodegradable and went right into the green bin! It reduces the waste in the landfills, but also provided my daughter with a great learning experience – something she could easily relate to, as she is also learning about it at school.



We've tried some great breakfast foods. A favorite of both girls was “flippin flapjacks”. My girls were happy to try something new for breakfast, and we had some smiles all around. I've enjoyed being able to switch up our breakfast routine from our usual cereal with milk, and I know I'm sending my girls off for their days with full bellies and a healthy start to their day.

We also tried many of the snack foods. I have to send one of my children with a snack every morning to her school. I also am always looking for easy and portable snacks to take with us in the van, and out at momstown events. I was so pleasantly surprised by the great snacks Infant Organics makes. My girls had 2 favorites, they said they couldn't decide between grams grahams and pancake poppers.



I also tried them and they are great! I keep these snacks in my freezer so they stay fresher. We take them out the morning we are going to eat them. They pop into one of our snack containers, and are defrosted by the time we are looking for our morning snack. It's easy, protable, healthy and taste great. Mom and kids are happy! We’ve also tested both out in the van, and overall, not a messy snack to take along!

If you haven't visited Infant Organics yet, it is worth the visit. You and the kids will be happy you did.

Infant Organics is planning to expand it's menu to include many great items for mom and dad too. This will make easy 1 stop shopping for you to pick up a healthy meal for the whole family.

Infant Organics is also now offering online ordering through their site with FREE delivery to Oakville, Burlington, Milton and Mississauga for the first two weeks!

Fisher Price Little People Zoo Talkers

This momstown Oakville family is no stranger to the Fisher Price Little People at our house. They have been part of playtime here for almost 5 years. At 8 months, my first daughter received the airplane and bus, and we haven't looked back! My children have LOVED every little people set they have received. The doll house, garage, and farm, just to name a few....and all the accessories!

So, when the recognizable "Little People" box arrived on our door step it didn't require any explanation! Both girls (ages 2 and 5) were excited to get the box open and try this out.

It took about 10 minutes to assemble, get the batteries in and have the kids set up to play. They collected little people from previous sets to have a group visiting the zoo!

The exciting new feature that our other sets don't have - this one recognizes the animals! It tells you the name, and the sound the animal makes! Even my 9 month old turns his head to hear the animal sounds. There are lots of great sounds coming from this zoo. The zoo keeper even talks to you! It came with 4 figures: a zoo keeper, a polar bear, a lion, and a gorilla. You can buy additional animals, so yes, you can guess where we are headed this weekend!

What I love most about this toy (and all the little people sets) it that it covers such a broad age range, and really keeps their interest.

My 9 month old is crawling, and these little people figures are the perfect size for his little hands. We place the animals around the room, and he crawls around to collect them. He can grasp them with his little hands and still manage to crawl somehow without dropping them!


My 2.5 year old just loves making all the sounds around the zoo. You can hear the lion roar over and over again! She never seems to tire of hearing the zoo keeper (on a plus note: my husband and i didn't mind the volume).


And my 5 year old creates her own little zoo world. Using her imagination, you can hear her creating a "field trip" to the zoo with a collection of little people (riding on our pink little people bus), she moves them around, playing teacher and explaining the animals at the zoo! She's totally into role play and loves to be in charge of a group! So, she spends hours directing all her little people around the zoo, making sure to stop for snack time too!

Overall, this toy was of interest to all 3 of my children, which doesn't happen very often!
