This post is in partnership with Beech-Nut® Naturals™, all opinions and photos are my own.

I‘m always looking for a reason to get together with my mom friends, so when Beech-Nut® asked us to host a gathering I was in! Beech-Nut® Naturals™ is a brand I already love and use, both of my boys were fed their food and I even still sneak it into some of their meals and snacks (recipe below!).

Beech-Nut® Naturals™ is inspired by homemade and 100% natural with nothing artificial. Through this partnership I found out that Beech-Nut® is a small company that operates in upstate New York with less than 300 employees. They are passionate about making real food for babies™  and even went into homes to see how real moms and dads feed their children, which is why I love them!

So! Onto the mommy party- I invited a group of my friends over to test out some of their flavors and do a little DIY Fall craft to celebrate the beginning of the best month ever, October! First we dealt with a lot of hungry babies who all seemed to love the different flavors of Beech-Nut® Naturals™. We tried 3 different flavors- just apples, pineapple-pear-avocado and carrots-corn-pumpkin. All 3 were a hit and my friends were all impressed that they were made with real fruits and vegetables which is important to all of us.

For the older toddlers I made my healthy oatmeal raisin cookie recipe and used a jar of Beech-Nut® Naturals™ in place of the banana. I’ve found using baby food is a great way to sneak in some of the fruits or veggies that my children won’t eat into their diet. They had no clue and they loved this version of the cookies! You can also use this trick with many other recipes like pancakes, banana bread, etc…

We spent the rest of the morning eating and playing bingo with Beech-Nut®  cards.  We had so much fun I forgot to snap a picture of us playing.  We used cheerios as our bingo markers and the little ones were constantly snatching them up from our game.

For the Fall themed craft we made foot print ghosts and handprint spiders.  I usually do this craft each year with my children and I love that it works as both a halloween decoration and a keepsake that shows how much they grow each year.  There are tons of ideas for other Fall footprint and handprint crafts on Pinterest you can check out!

Each guest left the party with a goodie bag full of Beech-Nut® Naturals™, recipe cards and coupons, plus a full belly!
