Starting our own business, oh my!

Six months ago, our lives changed forever. On April 25th, Julian (aka Jujube) came into our world and it hasn't been the same since. We were happy to have a healthy baby boy, but never realized how much it would affect our day to day life. The first couple of weeks were rough! Paul and I walked around looking like zombies from the lack of sleep; however, we weathered the tough times and after a few weeks we managed to get into some sort of schedule. We started to get more sleep, and actually enjoyed our new role as parents. Over the past few months, we grew into parenthood and embraced the joys it brings to our lives.

From this experience grew a need. I wanted to provide my son the very best nutrition. My goal was to make sure his food was fresh and always organic. Each week I prepare Julian's meals from fresh organic produce and freeze it to be heated up as needed. I feel that his food is vibrant (it retains the natural colors), flavorful (the food is never heated to high temperatures, and doesn't lose its texture), and nutritious. I see that Julian enjoys the foods I make, and I love that I know exactly what he is eating. So... I began to think- what are other busy parents doing?

When it comes to baby food you have few choices- make it yourself (takes time and effort) or buy from the supermarket (where most foods are cooked to high temperatures to extend the shelf life and lose a lot of the taste, texture, and nutrients.) I am lucky enough to have the time and energy to make Julian's food, but what about everyone else? PūrO Baby was born- almost exactly 6 months after Julian arrived.

We are in the very early stages of developing our company, so follow along with me and my husband, Paul, as we navigate through parenthood and starting our very own company. If you are in the Philadelphia area, maybe you'll get to see our baby food real soon. Now, I better get some sleep. Julian is sleeping through the night, but likes to wake up bright and early!!
