Before Emory was born my husband and I would eat out all the time. Since then I can count on one hand the number of times we’ve eaten outside of our home. As a toddler mom, I feel like it’s my responsibility to create a sense of family. Now that she’s older, and feeding herself, family dinner has become our favorite time of day. Sitting across from Emory while she stuffs her face with tiny bits of food brings us so much joy. Preparing quick, simple, and healthy meals for her is our top priority.
