Meal Planning for Working Moms (and Other Hacks!)

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

This week we’re sharing the art of meal planning for working moms and some other great hacks. Any working parents knows what chaos mealtime can be, so we asked some of our favorite moms for their go-to mealtime time saving hacks to make meals for the family a less harried experience!

Mealtime Time Saving Hacks

Meal Planning for Working Moms: You will hear time and again that meal planning for working moms can help save time during the week, and it may seem counterproductive, but it’s true! We’re not talking about planning elaborate meals, we just mean mapping out a basic meal plan for your family so you’re not rushing to the market after school pick-up. For some incredible meal planning resources and downloads, check out Percolate Kitchen. Percolate Kitchen offers helpful guides like How to Create a 5 Minute Meal Plan and a quiz to help you know What’s Your Meal Plan Type? and you know how much we love us a good quiz here at Gugu Guru!
Meal Prep: We know, we know, who has time for meal prep? But, hear us out! Meal prep can be super simple if you pick the right meals in your meal plan. For example, if you pick a protein and frozen veggie, you can pair with VeeTee Rice for a super simple and very quick meal. Roast a bunch of veggies on a Sunday, or make shredded chicken in the Instant Pot, and pair with VeeTee Rice for a balanced meal. We love VeeTee Rice because it is gluten-free and vegan so every member of the family can enjoy. Still a little intimidated? Check out one of our favorite sites for meal prep, Work Week Lunch.
Taco Tuesday: When it comes to meal planning for working moms, who doesn’t love tacos? Taco Tuesday is an easy way every member of the family can enjoy a delicious meal. Taco protein of your choice – be it meat or beans, taco shells, cheese, lettuce, salsa and VeeTee Rice make a super quick, filling and very yummy meal. Plus, the littlest members of the family will love customizing and building their own tacos. Delicious meal + entertainment for the kiddos? Well, this sounds like a win/win to us! (Are you more of a bowl fan? No problem! Check out these delicious Easy Chicken Taco Bowls from New South Charm or Mexican Rice Bowls from A Million Moments.)
Stir-fry Friday: Friday nights are most definitely not the night you want to be cooking, so we’re here to introduce you to Stir-fry Fridays! Simply put, take all the leftover veggies from the week, and stir fry them up with your favorite VeeTee Rice and eggs for a budget friendly, easy-to-make and delicious meal. Rice is a wonderful food for baby-led weaning, so even your babies and toddlers can enjoy! You can find some stir fry inspiration here.

We love VeeTee Rice because it is the ultimate time-saver for any busy family, and so delicious! Simply pop the tray of VeeTee in the microwave for 2 minutes and you’ll get steamy, fresh rice that’s also chemical and preservative free. Available in 7 different varieties, everyone in your family is sure to find one they love. Make your weeknights just a little easier with VeeTee Rice and leave yourself more time for Netflix and sleep! Ready to stock up on VeeTee?

Working Mother Registry Life Hack: VeeTee Rice + Giveaway

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

Any working mom knows that dinnertime can be absolute chaos! Trying to get a healthy meal on the table – let a lone a meal everyone will enjoy – is exhausting after a long day. Luckily, VeeTee Rice is here to help. VeeTee Rice is a pre-cooked rice made without chemicals or preservatives, and can be made in the microwave in 2 minutes! Yep, really, 2 minutes. Since it’s free of all the yucky stuff, it’s safe for the whole family, too. VeeTee Rice understands that getting a healthy dinner on the table can sometimes be a struggle, but their rice makes everything just a little easier.

VeeTee Rice comes pre-packaged in 7 flavors, so everyone can have their favorite flavor at mealtime. Whether you’re looking for a basic flavor, like Basmati or Jasmine, or mixing it up with Thai Lime and Herb or Wholegrain and Quinoa, all the flavors are vegan and gluten free, so everyone can enjoy. We recommend picking up a rotisserie chicken and fresh fruit from the market to pair with VeeTee for a healthy and filling meal for all. You can also use VeeTee for a quick stir fry with your fave veggies, and any meat or eggs for a fried rice! Because the rice is already cooked, you just have to warm it with the other ingredients and dinner is done.

Time is a luxury when you’re a working mom, and we understand you don’t want to spend your time worrying about rice boiling over! VeeTee Rice also makes a great office staple, as you can have it for snack or lunch simply by throwing it in the microwave. Ready to stock up on VeeTee? Use code GUGUGURU for 20% off order, or head to this link for the discount automatically applied.

What’s New on Gugu: May 22, 2019

This week I have found some products that have excellent longevity. They will survive through your first, second, third, and beyond. They are even great options for life with multiples (I can speak from first-hand experience!). I also love the way these brands are dedicated to creating high quality products. From a mom of twin toddlers, THANK YOU!

For loads of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page!

Maxi Cosi Magellan Max: This convertible car seat could truly be the only car seat you ever own! While I love the Magellan, the Max has some added features that will make your life significantly easier. They have added their “EZ In/Out harness system” which is revolutionary when trying to buckle in a moving toddler. The seat also has a variety of recline positions and a no-rethread harness. Safe for babies 5-120 lbs, this seat will go from rear-facing infant seat to forward high back booster.

Göbe Kids Snack Spinner: Although not available until July, this new snack spinner will help ensure that your toddlers are eating from all the food groups! Simply fill each of the sections with snacks and watch your little one’s independence grow. Great for picky eaters too! They are BPA and PVC free and dishwasher safe.

Mochi Toys: Although not new to Gugu Guru, People Toy Co.’s Mochi line is perfect for any growing baby. Their teethers are non-toxic, made from rice, and easy to clean! We love how these hold up to months and months of constant use by babies and toddlers of all ages! Complete with instruments, wearable teethers, blocks and more these are the perfect unique gift for any family!

Plae Shoes: Plae has taken the importance of ‘Play’ and turned it into an amazing shoe line for kids (and adults!). Plae shoes are extremely high-quality and hold up to days at the beach, park, and pool! They are great for teaching independence to toddlers who want to put on/take off their own shoes too. We love their unique colors, encouraging all family members to get out there and ‘Plae!’

Toki Mats: Toki Mats is a mom-founded brand (see others featured on the blog this week!) made of high quality foam and a washable cover. The mat will fold when not in use and the covers are washable and interchangeable. It is also a great size, even for multiples. Plus the prints are fun and trendy enough to keep out in your living room!

Please note that these opinions are 100% my own and I have not received any products in exchange for placement in What’s New on Gugu!

This week’s new finds highlight some great Earth Day friendly selections. Reusable food pouches, baby food makers, and food grade silicone bottles are all great new items for the eco-friendly family. You will also notice some pop culture trends popping up this week. Baby Shark anyone? For loads of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page!

Baby Brezza Food Makers and Reusable Pouches: Earth Day celebrations always remind me to make smart choices regarding the products we use in everyday life. Baby Brezza has continued to make the ‘homemade baby food game’ a reality with easy to use machines and reusable pouches! Simply pop your favorite fruit and/or veggies in the container (love the Glass for eco-friendly or the new Deluxe) and watch them cook and blend with ease. Pour any delicious mixture into the reusable pouch and you’re good to go! Added bonus – the pouches are top-rack dishwasher safe!

Hatch Maternity x Nordstrom: As we (not so) patiently await the arrival of Baby Sussex, it has become much easier to attain our own ‘Markle Sparkle!’ The new collaboration between Hatch Maternity and Nordstrom highlights items from a brand we love so much. Pair together classic tops, pants, and dresses to keep things comfy and chic!

Baby Shark Toys and Walker: The ‘Baby Shark’ craze doesn’t seem to be leaving us anytime soon. Wowwee, the brains behind ‘Fingerlings’ continue to create engaging toys for our little ones. We have a love/hate relationship with their line of singing shark characters, which will instantly burn that catchy tune into your brain! Plus, coming in October is their newest toy, a brand new Baby Shark inspired walker for baby.

Boon NURSH Silicone Bottles: Another Earth Day find, the Boon NURSH bottle system utilizes a special bagged venting system that is reusable. Ideal for preventing gas, easily squeeze the silicone pouch to remove any excess air before feeding your babe. Plus, all parts are dishwasher safe!

Skip Hop Greenwich Convertible Hip Pack: With Mother’s Day around the corner, we love this sleek take on the fanny pack. Great for travel, we love this new hands-free accessory to hold the essentials. Pair with a diaper bag for an excellent gift for any mama-to-be!

Gugu Gift Guide: Feeding Time

by Gugu Guru Leave a Comment

When it comes to gifts pertaining to feeding time, there are so many options to choose from; we’ve rounded up some of our favorite feeding time gift items, we thought of everything, from high chairs to healthy snacks, to feeding sets and even a way to make feeding time a little easier for new moms. Read on to see our feeding time gift guide picks and don’t forget to check out our Instagram for our editor’s Instagram stories about each product.

4moms High Chair: Your little one is going to spend some special times in their high chair, so when it comes to picking out a high chair for your little one, we always recommend the 4moms high chair for so many reasons. The 4moms high chair has taken high chairs to the next level, as 4moms considers not only what baby needs out of a high chair for feeding time, but what parents may need too! 4moms understand that high chair trays can be tricky at feeding time, and have magnificently solved the problem for all parents. The 4moms high chair uses magnets to magically put the high chair tray on and off with one hand – no more fussing about a messy baby, it’s as simple as on and off with magnet technology. Speaking of magnets, minimize the mess at feeding time, because the tray is magnetic, which pairs perfectly with the 4moms magnetic bowls and plates which will stay in place as baby learns to eat themselves. When baby is done eating, clean up is a cinch; the tray liner is removable and dishwasher safe, and the removable foam insert is easy to clean. And, with 3 height positions and 2 tray positions, you can use the 4moms high chair for feeding time for baby and beyond.

Bakeology Cookies: When it comes to feeding time, there is nothing better than snacks you and your little one can share. We’re so excited about Bakeology cookies – our editor received some to try and promptly ate the entire bag on her own (sorry kids) – they’re just that good. What makes Bakeology cookies so special? A few major reasons – Bakeology Chocolate Chip Cookies are gluten free, vegan, kosher, and non-GMO verified. They’re ideal for breastfeeding moms whom are trying to avoid dairy or gluten, and they taste amazing – you’re not sacrificing flavor for gluten when it comes to Bakeology cookies. They are a perfect addition to kid’s snacks and lunches, and we love them on top of ice cream, too – plus, they’re lower in sugar than most cookie snacks, so you can indulge guilt free. Their bite size packs are a perfect addition to any diaper bag or purse, ideal for an after school or work snack, and fit perfectly in your back pocket…not that we know or anything…Use code COOKIES25 for 25% off at checkout. We know you’ll love them!

Bella Tunno: If you’re looking for a feeding time gift for someone in your life, we always turn to Bella Tunno for fun feeding time gifts for baby showers and first birthday gifts. Bella Tunno gift sets are made from food-grade, 100% FDA-approved (BPA, PVC, Phthalate Free) silicone, so you can feel good about giving a Bella Tunno set as a gift. This Hungry Hungry Hippo bib and feeding time set features a bib, 2 spoons and a bowl – everything you need for feeding time for babies and toddlers. Their cheeky designs paired with traditional products make for a fun feeding time with lots of smiles. But, we love Bella Tunno most of all because for every product sold, Bella Tunno donates 1 meal to 1 child in America, and each bundle gives 3 meals. Give back and do good with Bella Tunno; if you’re going to give a gift, choose a fun and functional gift which gives back – Bella Tunno does it all! Check out all of their super fun designs (Brunch Babe, anyone?), because we know you’ll find the perfect feeding gift set for all of the babies in your life. Use code GUGU20 for20% off your order through 3/15.

nanobébé Bottles: When it comes to feeding babies, you have to check out nanobébé bottles; Nanobebe has re-invented the baby bottle in such a revolutionary way, as nanobébé is the first and only bottle designed to preserve breastmilk nutrients, without compromising on mom’s convenience and style! nanobébé’s unique surface area is geometrically designed to spread milk into a thin layer allowing it to cool twice as fast as standard bottles on the market which prevents bacterial growth. Often parents are in such a rush to warm breastmilk for the baby that they use boiling water and in doing so, are damaging the nutrients, enzymes, and proteins in the breastmilk. However, nanobébé has a geometric design to spread milk into a thin layer, and therefore it warms quicker that all standard bottles and at safe temperatures; overheating is prevented and those precious nutrients moms work so hard to provide are protected. nanobébé is changing the way you feed baby, and if you’re creating your registry or giving a baby shower gift, we highly recommend adding the amazing nanobébé bottles.

Crane USA Humidifier: Did you know that a humidifier running in your baby’s sleep quarters will help your baby breathe, sleep and FEED more easily? Yep, it’s true. That’s why at Gugu Guru we consider the Crane Cool Mist Humidifier a must-have for all baby registries. Moist air is easier to breathe. Humidity also makes it easier to get the mucus out of your baby’s nose and a clear nose can help a congested baby nurse or bottle-feed more easily. The Crane Cool Mist Humidifier is both quiet and effective. The extra humidity helps babies to breathe easier, meaning they can sleep better and eat with less frustration helping them to be better equipped to fight off a cold. Coming in a wide variety of designs, colors and styles to complement any room, the Crane Cool Mist Humidifier makes an awesome baby shower gift.

Joeyband: This hands-free ergonomic breastfeeding support system is the exclusive skin-to-skin product of La Leche League International, and recommended in the organization’s book “Sweet Sleep: Nighttime and Nap Time Strategies for the Breastfeeding Family”. The Joeyband brings baby to breast with three positions: tummy-to-tummy, cradle and football hold and is clinically demonstrated as effective to increase initiation and exclusive breastfeeding rates.

What’s New on Gugu: March 6, 2019

We’re back with another What’s New on Gugu! This week we’re sharing some items that are brand new to the market and others are oldies but goodies that you may not know about. For loads of our other favorites, please check out our Explore page!

Preggo Pickles: After trying this product at a baby show this past weekend, I was blown away! Not only are they delicious but they will truly satisfy that pickle craving that haunts many moms during pregnancy. Their unique flavors have also been created to support pregnant/new mom challenges (i.e. nausea and nursing). As an added bonus, they are extremely low in sodium when compared to other pickles on the market. So pregnant mamas crunch away!

bblüv Foöd and Döse: While National Snack Month may have ended (bye February!) we are still loving these new food storage containers from bblüv. Perfect for meals on the go, Foöd (coming soon!) is leak and odor proof and will keep your food warm (or cold) with it’s insulated walls. Plus the top can be used as a shallow bowl (with built in spoon!). Paired with the Döse stackable snack container, you will be set for on-the-go eating!

Magnetic Me Clothing: While these are not new to the market, the Magnetic Me Footies are always on my list of must-haves for new parents. The magnetic closure on these newborn essentials will be a game changer for those early days. The fabrics are so soft (I love the eco-friendly modal) and the patterns are adorable!

Toofeze: You’ve all been there (or will be soon!). Your little one is in pain from teething and nothing seems to be helping. Until Toofeze! A teether made of food-grade silicone and stainless steel, your baby will instantly be drawn to the cool relief. When the stainless disc finally does warm up, simply stick it into a glass of cool (or ice) water and it will instantly chill. This will quickly become one of baby’s favorite toys.

Solly Baby Spring Collection: Another oldie but goodie, we often recommend the Solly Wrap to our users as a must-have for the fourth trimester. Not only do they have exceptional wrap carriers, but we also love the swaddle blankets and layette sets. Their new Spring collection is few of beautiful colors, and even a few patterns all great for Mom or Dad!
