Sunday Smiles - The Congo River


 Linking to Gillena's Sunday Smiles.

In yesterday's post on unsalted baby food I should have mentioned my own kids got baby food from jars as I was a busy working mother. Iris' comment triggered that memory.

Interesting to scary facts about the river!
Sorry, I didn´t mean to say anything bad... My Mom was working full-time, too... And here still many go the "easy" way with baby-food... And me, having no kids myself, am the last one to judge.
It´s just nice to see some people make an efford to start a healthy life right from the beginning...

So interesting about this river. Thanks so much. ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’— Some of the first foods I gave to my second one was mushrooms and avocados, and she still likes them.

Hello, my dear Christina, I was also a busy mom to my daughter, and the interesting facts about the river were extraordinary.

Best regards! I wish you a good Sunday and a successful, warm new week. Kisses and greetings.

Nothing wrong with jars. Homemade rocks though, it's so easy but also, nothing wrong with jars at all. Not a damn thing.
