In what seems to be a long time ago, when we controlled where our baby (now rampant toddler) could and could not go, the most random thing happened, she busted out in the cutest spell of giggles we’ve ever heard.
I can’t go anywhere because I don’t know better yet!
Avery is a couple months over 2 years old now, but when she was 5 months old, I had her (safely) sitting on the counter with me as I was busy in the kitchen. I just finished making a batch of NuttZo Banana Bread and went to cut it as her eyes absorbed my every move. Then, right when I started slicing…..
Yeah, you’d think I was dressed in a clown suit honking my big red nose, not simply cutting bread I cooked a little too long. I tried many many many times after that to replicate the laugh for Going Mom with no luck. I’m just happy she did it when the camera was on, now she seems to freeze up when she sees the camera in front of her. Can’t blame her, I’d be annoyed at me too.
C’mon, dad, can you just put the camera down and PLAY?
It’s not on camera, but Avery has been giving giggles like the cutting bread episode almost every night as we play around the house or during dinner. It’s a sound that never gets old and always warms the heart.
Hope you’re having a great Sunday and enjoyed seeing a sweet baby laughing at such a random thing.
Do you have something your kid laughed at unexpectedly?
Does it happen every time or was it a one time occurrence?
I recently introduced whey protein back into my diet by being very cautious of the quality of the ingredients. When biPro offered to send me a few samples to try, I did a quick search for ingredients on their site and saw enough to spark my interest.
A short list of ingredients is usually a great starting point. Whey protein isolate and sunflower lecithin in their unflavored protein is as short as they’ll come. Which makes a very clean supplement facts list….
For their flavored products (just chocolate and vanilla), natural flavors, cocoa (for chocolate), monk fruit, and stevia are all that’s added. Stevia is my preferred natural, no calorie, and tasty sweetener of choice, so when I see it in products, I assume some level of quality care is used in the creation.
This holds true for biPro, but I would prefer to see the whey come from grass-fed cows and the rest of the ingredients to be non-gmo to truly stand apart. This isn’t a deal breaker, but would make me feel better about implementing biPro as a daily supplement.
Nevertheless, I found that their powder mixes easily in any liquid and tastes surprisingly good with such a short list of ingredients. Actually, I love vanilla, and their French Vanilla mixed just in water satisfied my sweet tooth. At first it was a little too much, but I just needed to add a little more water to dilute and it made a perfectly healthy and tasty pre/post workout drink.

I used the chocolate to mix into overnight oats which turned out amazing and was a real treat mixed with Greek yogurt and strawberries for a healthy, muscle-building “dessert”. I didn’t have enough to try, but can only imagine biPro Whey Protein Isolate would make a wonderful Protein Microwave Cake or even Whole Grain Protein Beer Bread if you use their Unflavored Protein.
If you’re looking for a high quality, naturally sweetened whey protein isolate that has no sugar, carbs, fat, or lactose, biPro is a good choice. While I wish it were non-gmo and the source of the whey was from grass-fed cows, I would still have it on occasion and offer it to others looking for a healthy whey protein supplement.
One thing that stands out about biPro is how they support giving back to our most precious assets; kids. They have fundraising options that anyone can take part of to raise funds for schools.

What I won’t be sticking to is how I’ve been blogging in the past. While I don’t have much to hide, I’ll be sharing less of our day-to-day personal life happenings and focusing more on sharing thoughts on food/products/services/etc. that was use. I know I mentioned most of this before, but wanted to reiterate it here.
From little things like healthy snacks for kids and adults to big items like mattresses (yes, really, stay tuned!), I want to share our thoughts here in hopes that you’ll find them useful. Some reviews will be by my own doing on items we paid for ourselves, and some will be provided to me at a discount or for free. No matter how we received the item, you can trust that I will give you our true thoughts.
Yes, I said our, Avery is picking up her communication skills fast and is improving her ability to actually explain her thoughts to us, so why not have her help with reviews? And since we’re a close, loving family, Going Mom will obviously have her opinion heard on here too. This, along with other health-related topics like quick exercise routines and recipes are all in the Going Dad future.
Don’t worry, if you came here just for the cute pics of Avery, I’ll still have some on the blog, and there’s always plenty on my Facebook and Instagram pages. Okay, here’s one just because. She looks very unsure of the camera here….
Currently her favorite pajamas.
