A Busy Mom’s Review of Little Spoon Plates

September 9, 2020 by firstcomesfamily Leave a Comment

Are you over making your toddler 388374 meals a day? Because I am! Thankfully, Little Spoons Plates has solved that problem. Little Spoons Plates is a prepared meal delivery service for kids ages 1-7. Each meal is packed with hidden veggies to help get your little ones the nutrients they need (especially ours because she despises veggies). All meals contain no hormones, no preservatives or additives, and nothing artificial which is important to me to know what Vivian is eating. We had the chance the give the Plates a try and I just wouldn’t wait to share them with y’all!

GREAT FOR AGES 1-7

Sometimes, coming up with meals for your kiddos can be overwhelming. Little Spoon Plates takes the stress out of meal time. They offer Toddler meals that are perfect as finger foods as well as Big Kid meals for the most advanced utensil users.

VAST MEAL SELECTION

The menu has a wide variety of choices for even the pickiest of kiddos. There is over 20 options to choose from that rotates weekly. Some of Vivian’s favorites were the Mac and Cheese with Invisible Butternut Squash and Carrots as well as the Cheese Black Bean Pupusas! They even offer dairy free, gluten free, and vegetarian meals to fit into family’s lifestyle.

CLEAN INGREDIENTS

What’s most important to me when choosing new foods for Vivian is that it contains ingredients I can find in my very own pantry. Each Plate contains real ingredients and none of bad chemicals and preservatives you find in most prepared meals. Little Spoon believes that quality and nutrition should go hand in hand and I can truly attest to that!

SO CONVENIENT

Each meal comes on a microwave safe, dishwasher safe and recyclable plate covered with their innovative Freshlock seal on each plate, allowing the meals to stay fresh for longer. They come in the mail packed with ice packs and an eco-friendly isolated liner which ensures your meals are cold until they go into your fridge! A really cool add is that the meals are best enjoyed up to 14 days in the refrigerator or 2 months in the freezer! This makes them SO easy to pop into the microwave for a meal on the fly.

AFFORDABLE

Grocery shopping for kids can be expensive and there’s a big chance they won’t even eat what you prepare, unfortunately we’ve all been there. Plates pricing starts out at under $5 per meal and the conveniences itself is worth a ton! You simply order on Little Spoon’s website for weekly delivery and can even choose what meals you get. The best part is that you can skip delivery if you happen to be out of town or have Grandma in town to cook instead. LOL

As a family, we’ve done the adult meal delivery services and think they’re great. Since Little Spoon has launched Plates, it’s been a GAME CHANGER for us and makes me feel great that my girl is getting quality and nutritive food!

DIY 1st Birthday Set Up💕 Vivian turned 1 right DIY 1st Birthday Set Up💕

Vivian turned 1 right in the middle of quarantine last year so we opted for a virtual party (everyone tuned in via FaceTime) but of course I still had to decorate for my girl! Here’s a few tips for anyone wanting to DIY their kiddos birthday party!

•Balloon Garlands from amazon are only like $10 and SO easy. Probably took us 20 mins to this (we blew them up with a bicycle pump)

•Pinterest everything! The tassels and name banner are both made by me and I found the tutorials on Pinterest!

•The cake is all box and store bought but I bought small cake pans to give it the cute small look! Again easy especially since she smashed it. Most grocery stores offer free smash cakes (ask the bakery!)

•Make an amazon wish list of gifts you’d like for your kiddo that way it’s easy for friends and family to mail them to you!

•Take tons of pictures! I can’t believe I’m already planned her 2nd birthday 😭

🎈What are your DIY party tips!?

I talked on stories yesterday about how Vivian’s I talked on stories yesterday about how Vivian’s speech isn’t as advanced as other kiddos her age. It’s something I don’t chat about too much, but maybe I should. When I share these struggles, I’m simply doing it so that some other mom who is in a similar situation doesn’t feel alone. ❤️

It takes a lot to be vulnerable and open on social media. Opening up with things that weigh on my mind isn’t easy, but I can tell you that the love and support I receive on here makes it so worth it. My favorite thing about this community is the support! It’s crazy how we live in a world physically lonely at times yet so full in our social media family!

⬇️Soo, share your favorite blogger or IGer that is open, honest, and makes you feel like their friend! 👯‍♀️

Picking up toys ALL day long, running errands, giving baths and singing songs then realizing you forgot to feed yourself?! Because it’s literally me and it’s why I love Dole Boosted Blends® Protein for lunch when I’m busy with ya know, mom life 😅 

Dole Boosted Blends® Protein are made with blueberries and banana that blend perfectly with a protein boost of whey and almond butter to deliver a delicious smoothie that packs 10 grams of protein per serving that helps keep me full. Best part is that they are Gluten-Free and Non-GMO 🙌🏻

🥰I’m declaring that a trip to @parkesdale is now a February tradition for our family as it is for many other Tampa Bay families.

Are you even a mom if you don’t make cinnamon ro Are you even a mom if you don’t make cinnamon rolls into the shapes of hearts for Valentine’s Day?! I’ve seen this all over Instagram the last few years and had to do it with Vivian! She loved them and even ate them breakfast, lunch and dinner😆 

Lately she has been the pickiest eater and she is soooo choosey with what she eats. I know kids get in phases but dang it makes me feel like I’m failing. Makes me feel like I’m not doing a good enough job of feeding her. I know I definitely could give her more fruits and veggies but still 😫

What’s the craziest thing your kid demanded to eat instead of the delicious meal you prepared?!😆

Ya know what’s ironic? Yesterday I hopped on sto Ya know what’s ironic? Yesterday I hopped on stories to chat about how I handle my toddler’s tantrums and the rest of the day was a nightmare of tantrums and today was the same 🙃 

I got a DM yesterday saying that I’m a super mom and while that’s flattering, it’s far from the truth. Instagram is a highlight reel and while I try to be super transparent with y’all, not everything makes the cut to IG. Kinda like how I sat in my laundry room to take a few deep breaths while my kid was freaking the f out. Or how I just want to crumble and cry because I’m trying so hard but sometimes I just can’t keep up with the big feelings of my toddler 😭 

Although things look like rainbows and butterflies on Instagram, it definitely does not mean we have it all together. We’re all just hanging on by a thread by bedtime 👏🏻😓

Do you remember the last time you went on a vacati Do you remember the last time you went on a vacation to sleep?!

As a mom, the thing I look forward to on any trip is S L E E P😴  It’s crazy how you take for granted simple things like sleep and sitting in bed watching the show of your choice. But sometimes it’s SO needed. I’ve recently been focusing on filing my own cup up and this was exactly what I needed.😌

This past weekend my sister in law and I had a girls trip that our husbands actually surprised us with at @omniorlandofl 👏🏻 (they were buttering us up for their golf trip) We spent the day at the Spa and had my first hot stone massage 🙌🏻 Swipe to see the making of this pic and my SIL falling off the bed😂

If you were to take a kid-free vaca right now, what would you be doing?!

Today, I lost my patience. More times than I’d l Today, I lost my patience. More times than I’d like.

And I can’t help but feel so guilty because of it. It’s not her fault that I’m having trouble handling my emotions while she’s learning to understand her own. But how many times can you say “Please stop touching that”?! Not every day is perfect. Some days she’s an angel, other days she’s a little devil. Each age has come with new challenges and boy is the toddler stage the hardest yet 😣 Constantly reminding myself that she still doesn’t have an understanding of her actions and emotions! I have to admit I use that as an affirmation almost and it truly has helped me parent better at times.

How do you handle the BIG feelings of toddlers? Help a mama out 😖

It took me over a year to find the beauty of raisi It took me over a year to find the beauty of raising children. 

You know...

When the house is a mess, but watching them play with their toys amazes you.

When they wake you up at the crack of dawn and give you that big “HI” when you walk in their bedroom. Melts your heart.

Going places isn’t as intimidating because they find it so exciting to be somewhere new.

When you feel like they’re watching too much screen time but when they dance to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse song, it’s just TOO CUTE.

Yeah, all those moments are what I’m talking about and it’s so. dang. beautiful.

We ate in a haunted wine cellar 😱 And it was S We ate in a haunted wine cellar 😱

And it was SO romantic! ❤️We went to Savannah, GA in the beginning of the year and it was the best trip I have been on. Not only was it our first kid-free vacation but he city was SO cool and everything is historic. My favorite place was @theoldepinkhouse which was built in 1771 and is said to be haunted with ghosts that helped secure the independence of the 13 colonies from England. 

Our favorite dishes: Sautéed Shrimp & Scallops in a Parmesan cream sauce. I literally am drooling thinking about it 😋

Grilled Pork Tenderloin with bourbon molasses and the most amazing collard greens 🥬

Did you know that car seats help prevent fatal inf Did you know that car seats help prevent fatal infant injuries by 71%? 🤯 That's why I'm encouraging you to start the new year on the right foot by visiting NHTSA.gov/TheRightSeat to check if your child is buckled up correctly in the right seat for their age and size. There's nothing more that I love than my girl and these moments with her. That's why I buckle her up correctly every time we get in the car with the help of @NHTSAGov . #Sponsored #PSA #TheRightSeat

Dry Skin and winter unfortunately go together. 😆 #AD I love to use @NIVEAUSA Essentially Enriched Body Lotion because the rich formula is unlike any other, the Deep Nourishing Serum is so moisturizing for my dry skin and Florida winters. It leaves my skin feeling super nourished even after 48 hours! You can pick up your Essentially Enriched Body Lotion at @Walmart, now available in limited-edition packaging in honor of the NIVEA Rethink Soft campaign that celebrates the power of soft and its positive impact. The design celebrates NIVEA’s partnership with kindness.org, which supports LearnKind, a soft skill curriculum, that teaches students the importance of soft to build a softer, kinder world for future generations. #RethinkSoft #ad #NIVEAUSA @Walmart @kindnessorg @NIVEAUSA
Just a girl and her @slumberkins 💜 When we wean Just a girl and her @slumberkins 💜 When we weaned from breastfeeding, I knew she needed something to comfort her. (She never took a paci nor was attached to anything but me) I joined the Slumberkins @facebook group which literally restores my faith in humanity, everyone in that group is so kind and always willing to help another. They helped me land on the Rainbow Unicorn which represents authenticity and bring true to yourself. Each @slumberkins comes with affirmations and it’s own book to narrate what the creature means. Others are helpful for loss, self-esteem and family changes. 

This isn’t sponsored but I truly love how sweet it is to see my girl bringing her “Mr.Unicorn” everywhere we go💜

Temperature checks are a normal thing around here Temperature checks are a normal thing around here especially with flu and covid season 😷 @blueberrypediatrics makes it easy to have pediatricians on call for virtual urgent care visits with $0 visit fees. Last year we ended up in urgent care with an RSV scare and I’m SO GLAD we can count on @blueberrypediatrics this year. It makes so much easier and comfortable when our girl gets sick. The Blueberry Pediatrics medical kit makes gathering vitals so easy such as oxygen levels as well as video!
