Raddish Kids Cooking Club

Considering everything going on with baby Noah, I have been searching for opportunities to spend quality time with my oldest son Luke. Sometimes I worry he will feel ignored or left out. Between doctor appointments and therapy sessions, lately Noah has been occupying a great deal of my focus. So when I was offered a kids cooking box from Raddish Kids I jumped at the opportunity. Luke, 4 years old, LOVES cooking; plus it’s one less dinner I need to plan!

Raddish Kids Cooking Club: I was gifted this box in exchange for sharing our experience. No other compensation was given.

Each box comes complete with three laminated recipe guides; fully illustrated so young children can easily follow along. Additionally, you receive a quality kitchen tool–we received a garlic mincer (seen in photo below). Plus, table talk cards, a colorful apron patch, and convenient grocery list. The six month subscription comes with a free apron!

Raddish Kids is dedicated to nurturing kids confidence in the kitchen and beyond!

While Luke loves helping in the kitchen, I typically limit his jobs to the “clean” ones. However, today I decided to let him do anything and everything.

He helped make the mixes to dredge our chicken, cracked eggs and cut veggies! Cooking skills were learned, and beautiful memories were made.

There were egg casualties, but we all laughed and easily cleaned the mess. The next two eggs were perfectly cracked.

Luke’s absolute FAVORITE part was dredging the chicken. At first he was shocked how slippery the protein was, but quickly developed his own technique.

As the resident foodie, Noah insisted on being quality control before dinner went in the oven.

All done! Time to cook it. Luke was very proud of all his hard work.

Dinner is served! Chicken Parmesan with a side of Garlicky Green Beans. Flavorful, juicy, and delicious. two thumbs up from all four members of our family. If fact, after every bite daddy repeatedly exclaimed how it was delicious and he could eat it every night. Luke beamed with pride during the whole meal knowing he had cooked it.

For dessert we made a decadent chocolate fondue. Complete with fresh fruits and thick pretzel sticks. It was AH-MAZING!

With our kids home now more than ever, having simple directed activities that help get food on the table are invaluable. The Raddish Kids box was one of the funnest activities Luke and I have done together at home. For days afterwards he talked about how much he loved it and is begging to do another. I highly recommend you try it too!

Postpartum is such a vulnerable and raw time. In t Postpartum is such a vulnerable and raw time. In the past I tried to power through, pushing my body too hard, and expecting everything to immediately return to how it was pre-pregnancy. But after six pregnancies and three babies I see beauty in this time. Beauty in my swollen womb that carried our perfect daughter to term. Beauty in my exhausted face that hasn’t slept in days. And even beauty in the bruising that covers my lower belly from medicines needed to keep her safe. This is motherhood. This is postpartum.

#thisispostpartum
Ten tiny fingers, ten tiny toes, a sweet little sm Ten tiny fingers, ten tiny toes, a sweet little smile, and a perfect nose. Baby girl you are exactly what our family needed! 

Newborns sleep 16-20hrs a day, Bella currently prefers only sleeping during the day when being held 😂 

Were your babies great sleepers from the start?
It’s been over two weeks since our family grew b It’s been over two weeks since our family grew by two tiny feet and these photos are such a perfect representation of what life looks like right now. Luke is adoring Bella, Noah never slows down, and Bella is content as long as she is fed 💕

The newborn period is exhausting but I LOVE these sweet moments.

Do you love the newborn days?
One week of holding this beautiful girl in our arm One week of holding this beautiful girl in our arms 🎀 
Miss Isabella Rose is the sweetest girl whom loves to be held and is not afraid to let you know when she is unhappy. Now just a few ounces under birth weight she is a great eater and loves her milk 💕
Both boys are absolutely smitten. Luke holds her and is the first to try and soothe her cries, while Noah has already learned her name and frequently eagerly calls Bell-ah followed by the sign for baby. Daddy too can hardly contain his excitement of adding a little princess to our family.
Isabella Rose 🌹 You have captured our hearts a Isabella Rose 🌹 
You have captured our hearts and we cannot remember what life was like before you. Delicate features, a fierce cry demanding milk, bright intelligent eyes, gorgeous hair, and an incredible warmth where you just melt into our arms. We are blessed beyond measure 💗 

We love you!
As the days and hours grow closer to when we will As the days and hours grow closer to when we will welcome this sweet girl into our arms, I find myself daydreaming not just about her, but about watching my boys blossom as big brothers.

If you have more than one, how did your child(ren) do when you brought their sibling(s) home?
