Have you been looking for a new doormat. I have been, so I have some fun Doormat Finds for you. With options from classy to humorous, you’re sure to find one you love. And, if you want to dress your front porch up even more, check out our Front Porch Ideas.

I love throwback items that take me back to my childhood and teen years. Cassette tapes were a big part of that, so I am loving this Mix Tape Welcome Mat. It’s perfect for all of us who spent time listening to music on these.

Llamas are really popular right now, and this Llamaste Doormat is super cute. I know my kids would love to see this one on our front porch.

This Lot of Kids Doormat is perfect for our house. It’s hilarious, and it’s a must-have if you have a large family like we do!

If you’re looking for just a simple welcome mat, this Welcome Doormat is the perfect option. I love the script, and the box around the word dresses it up a little.

To change up your welcome greeting, you can get this Hello Doormat. It’s super simple and to the point, and it’s really pretty with the font used and the heart next to the word.

This Coffee and Amazon Doormat is so me. With so many kids, I can’t live without coffee as my pick-up and Amazon to shop so I don’t have to take the kids everywhere.

Hidden Vegetable Recipes for Picky Eaters aka my kids (and your kids!) Hidden veggies in desserts, breads, mac and cheese and more. Enjoy.

Hidden Vegetable Recipes

Hidden Veggie Recipes for Picky Eaters

When introducing food to my babies, I always introduced vegetable puree first.  My second child would beg for broccoli growing up. I recall picking her up from her crib one day after nap and she asked me for broccoli and a Popsicle. It was a staple in our home. Somewhere between child three (who is 14 months older than the twins) and child four and five (whoa that was fast), I went wrong. We went from a family of four to a family of seven in a years time. It was quick and I guess my mom award got lost in the “extra” people.

The twins, who are 19 months, and my two and a half year old struggle to eat greens. I make myself feel better by getting all the protein in their diet I can, but man – what did I do wrong? Because I lost my mojo, I had to become a trickster.  I was first introduced to hiding veggies in food with this book Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food. I decided to accept the challenge and find additional recipes my kids would love.

Introducing tried and true Hidden Vegetable Recipes for Fussy Easters (aka picky eater kid number three, four and five.) Tell me what your “I’m not eating that” picky kids think of these recipes.
