The tile floor is hard on my mother's feet and knees so we got her a Gelpro mat from Costco. It cost about $75.00 ($124.95 online.) We thought this was a pretty good deal. It's awfully costly for a floor mat but it sure does feel good!
KC refuses to eat any fruits or veggies. Tonight, I made her my SPECIAL smoothie in my blender with pineapples, apples, frozen blueberries, frozen strawberries, a banana, 2 Tbsp of ice cream, some yogurt and soy milk. She took a sip. We held our breath and then...
"KC like smoothie. KC want more."
Woohoo! Success!
mmm. I'll have one myself. Surprised you didn't throw in a carrot!
ReplyDeleteLoved the smoothie-loving KC photo. What a great solution to a problem little children seem to have...Thank goodness for grandmothers! And how nice to find a comfortable mat for your mother.
ReplyDeleteA cute stance KC has there. :)
ReplyDeleteWell, I hope you like to peel and slice. Sounds delicious though.
That mat is a good idea. Why are they so expensive?
Great shots of KC! She's such a sweetheart! Like the idea of that mat! I bet it does feel good to stand on!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day, Kay!

Atta girl, KC. Smoothies are good, and they're (shhhh) healthy for you. The ice cream would make me a believer, if I weren't already a believer.
ReplyDeletetry some yogurt and honey next time instead of ice cream-sounds delicious. parents and grandparents need to outsmart the little ones...I'd like one of those mats for my kitchen
ReplyDeleteAmazing!
ReplyDeleteThey have several cookbooks out on how to add pureed anything to children's fav foods! I wish that I had thought of doing something like that when our kids were young.
I just made them at least try the veggies!
KC is so cute and Grandma is one smart cookie!
That is a great way to get fruit into KC! My DD#1 bought that same mat in black for her kitchen and she loves it!
ReplyDeleteisn't that what grandmas are for? coming up with yummy ways to eat fruit. thanks for the info on gelpro mats, never heard of them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip and sweet picture!

Jerry Seinfeld's wife wrote a cookbook specifically about sneaking nutrition into kids' foods.
ReplyDeleteKC has grown so much since last visit! She must be eating something!!
Just the name "smoothie" has charm for kids. Jill orders them at Starbucks for her kids when they are on the go. Good job, Gramma.
ReplyDeleteAnd my feet are thinking they like the looks of that mat.
Congratulations on that smoothie success! That was good thinking.
ReplyDeleteI hope the mat works for your mother. When I worked for a medical supply company the gel items for beds and chairs and shoes and anything, were always best-sellers; they must work!
Meanwhile I'm glad Felicia didn't tear your roof off or cause too much havoc.

The mat looks so comfortable, can almost feel it. KC seems to be enjoying the "secret" smoothie. Little does she know that she is doing exactly what Gnandma wants her to do...have her fruits. Don't you just love it when we find a way to get them to cooperate without their knowing it. Way to go, Kay!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy Wednesday.
Gigi: I made chili tonight and threw in mashed yams, carrots and tomatoes. She ate it all and asked for more.
ReplyDeleteDina: Why are they so expensive? I guess it must be the gel in the mats. Whatever the case, it does feel great next to the kitchen sink.
I think we mothers/grandmothers know all about camouflaging food don't we? Cute photos of KC. That mat does sound like a good idea. I am going to CostCo this weekend, will have to check them out.
