Hello Reader, We’ve been soaking up every bit of it—long evenings, trips to the beach, homemade ice cream and trying to squeeze in as many family adventures as we can. As Registered Dietitians (and moms!), we’re always getting asked what we’re actually loving with our own families. So, we’re sharing a few of our current favourites. Mango Chia PopsThis recipe has quickly become one of the most popular on our blog—and we totally understand why. With just 3 ingredients, these pops are refreshing, naturally sweet, and packed with fibre thanks to the chia seeds. Little K Co. Lunch KitsWhether you’re packing snacks for the park, lunch for daycare, or getting organized for back-to-school, these containers have become our daily go-to. After testing more than 10 different lunch kits over the years, we’ve finally found one we genuinely love. The stainless steel design, leakproof lids, and thoughtfully sized compartments make packing balanced meals so much easier. If you’re thinking ahead to fall (or just need better containers now), you can save 5% with code HHE. *note: as an affiliate we would earn a commission on any sales from Little K Co! Our Tried-and-True WagonsIf you’ve ever seen us at the beach, the zoo, a picnic, or berry picking… chances are this wagon came too (if our husbands haven't absconded it for yard work!). We both have one and Jess has had hers for more than 12 years. It’s still one of the best purchases we’ve made. It folds down easily, takes up very little room in the trunk, and somehow manages to haul everything! Fruit PizzaThis recipe has become a summer tradition in Nita's house. The dough makes two fruit pizzas, so it’s perfect for sharing with friends or freezing one for later. My kids absolutely love decorating them with colourful fruit, and I love that it’s about 50% lower in sugar than many traditional fruit pizza recipes. That’s what’s making our summer a little easier (and a lot more fun). Have you discovered a recipe, product, or family favourite this summer that you think we should know about? Hit reply and tell us. We’re always looking for ideas, and we’d love to hear what’s been a hit in your home. Enjoy the rest of your summer! 🎒 Getting ready for daycare or school?If you're looking to upgrade your lunch gear before September, you can save 5% with our affiliate code HHE.

Hello Reader, We hope you're soaking up a little sunshine wherever you are. ☀️ Summer has been wonderfully full over here. We've been squeezing in lots of backyard dinners, finding new ways to stay cool, and making homemade ice cream with our kids (equal parts fun and messy 😅). Speaking of messy... One of the biggest questions we hear from parents starting solids is: "Am I doing this right?" We just published a brand new blog post called Dos and Don'ts When Feeding Solids, where we walk...
Hello friend! My kids (Jess here!) have never been the most adventurous eaters, but there are a few foods I relied on HEAVILY when they were toddlers, which allowed me to get creative and amp up their nutrition. Smoothies Popsicles Muffins I knew if I offered them anything in smoothie, popsicle, or muffin form there was a near 100% chance they'd eat it! Which is one of the reasons we decided to write a Smoothie and Pop E-book! We wanted to give you guys the tools that we've relied on...
Hello Reader, Confession time… I (Jess here!) just realized something that might make me sound like the ultimate dietitian mom… I’ve never actually bought my kids popsicles from the grocery store. Don’t get me wrong—they’ve definitely enjoyed plenty at birthday parties, friends’ houses, and after sports when the hero parent shows up with a cooler full. But at home? I’ve always loved making our own. Not because they have to be “perfect,” but because homemade popsicles are one of the easiest...
