A good place for the ice cube trays is Bed Bath Beyond, they have these trays with silicone bottoms that make it easy to pop the frozen food out. Their tastes do change, so it might not be good to make a TON of any one thing, lest you get stuck with it.

I don’t think it’s a crapshoot if you have two goodlooking parents. It was in the bag from the beginning!

Beth: Brilliant! I knew about the ice cube tray thing, but for some reason, I never heard about the second step with the freezer bags and I was wondering how that worked. ooh! I’m stoked to build up a supply!

Leah: oh! I love the image of my Clarkie going off on his first European adventure and staying at your house! Ditto for Meilin and Woody. Thay can stay with us if they come to explore the US! As for laptops, I don’t bring mine, bu Aaron always has to bring his, because as a contractor, he gets no vacation. It’s not so bad, I don’t think. It just makes it so that his laptop bag is his carryon. Almost everywhere on the planet has wifi these days, even the remote Thai islands we’ve been researching! This post: http://www.crazyauntpurl.com/archives/2009/07/temptation_isla.php by one of my favorite bloggers talks about her tiny computer she brings on trips, if you want to check it out.

Kelly T: OMG, I can’t even begin to describe how fun and satisfying it has been for em to make his baby food! It’s so easy and I feel so good about it! NERD. And yes, the travelling. I hope that my Clark has seen enough of the world by the time he grows up to know how small he is in it, and how lucky he is to be able to see it all.

Kate: Yes! Of course! We are already supporters of the Tacoma Waldorf School. I just said it vaguely like that because who knows where life may have taken us by the time Clark goes to school. If we are still here, that’s definitely where he’ll go, I just hope they have a real school by then.

Jenny M: Yay! I don’t know why that didn’t occur to me. I was all, ice cube trays? Isn’t that kind of uncovered and messy? Ha.

Ice cube trays, then empty into large plastic freezer bags! Easy peasy.

I third the use of ice cube trays and freezer bags for baby foods. It’s the only way I’ve ever done it and it made things so easy. I’d spend about 1 hour/ month making a bunch of stuff and we’d be set for quite a while. Good for you!

I love that you’re planning on taking little Clark all around the world. What a lucky little man he is. Hopefully he and Aoife can compare passports one day!

wow, i got a whole page devoted to my questions! what a Jenny blog honour. Me blog? never. Will just enjoy reading yours.
we’ve got brilliant art galls & museums in Liverpool, come back you wont be lonely. I’m so looking forward to playing host at our house when Clark is 18 and has his own backpack going off traveling on his own on his European adventure. Cant wait to take our 2 to thailand either, just wondering how to get them onto chilli.
Deffo got to use the ice cube trays, its a revelation in combining different flavours and tastes, then see your freezer fill up.
Off to Croatia in 2 days, how European does that sound?
living in your digital world do you take a laptop on holiday with you? I think this sound like a nightmare of a thing to take on your hols but can really see its uses. interested in anyones opinion on that one

I used ice cube trays for the purees, then put the cubes in freezer bags after they solidified. Then I could mix and match for meals–one cube sweet potatoes, one cube carrots, etc. And as he started eating more, I just added more cubes.
