St. Patrick’s Day Green Pea Fritters

By Liz Jacob, Copy Editor Leave a Comment







“Luck is believing you’re lucky.”
Tennessee Williams

We decided this weekend is the perfect time to embrace the warmer weather and hints of spring so we’ve added a little green into our day and into our food.I have been working on a recipe for veggie bites for some time now, but I haven’t been able to narrow down a taste and texture that my whole family agrees on. My youngest has a serious passion for green peas and eagerly suggested I use them in my recipe. And you know what, she is on to something! Peas are the perfect texture for these veggie fritters and they are one hundred percent kid approved. Since peas are naturally sweeter in flavor, they balance well with the other veggies and healthy herbs. Add a side of homemade tzatziki sauce and dinner is covered!

Baked Green Pea Fritters with Tzatziki Sauce
Gluten-Free, Vegetarian
yield: about one dozen fritters

INGREDIENTS
2 cups frozen peas, ¼ cup reserved
1 cup almond flour
¼ cup chopped parsley and cilantro, mixed together
1 cup riced cauliflower (broccoli will work too)

salt & pepper
olive oil or coconut oil

DIRECTIONS
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and grease with olive oil or coconut oil.
2. Place all ingredients, with the exception of the ¼ cup peas, in a food processer and pulse until combined. Make sure not to over mix.
3. Stir in the reserved peas.
4. Using a tablespoon, roll into balls and press into round patties that are about ¼ inch thick. Place on the parchment.
5. Bake for 10 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully flip over and bake for another 10 minutes.
6. Allow to cool and serve with tzatziki sauce.

Tzatziki Sauce

Somewhere over the rainbow

By Amy Carson Leave a Comment

Even down here in Texas, winters can turn gray, gloomy, and cold for long spells. Most of this February has passed beneath leaden skies, so when the sunshine finally came out we went to a nearby amusement park to enjoy the beautiful day.

However, without the rain there would never be rainbows.

Craftykins // Holiday DIY & Decor

By Rachel Fox Kipphut, Contributor 1 Comment

If you are looking for quick, fun , easy , and cheap ways to decorate your house this holiday….. then you have come to the right place! As a busy working Momma with two toddlers and a newborn, time and money is precious. I wanted to share a few ways that I was able to Ho Ho Ho my home without taking up too much time, and without breaking the bank.
Happy Holidays from the Kipphut Family!

1. Make Your Own Garland.

We made stars out of pipe cleaners and tied them to string. You could tie anything to string. Hand made snowflakes to store bought shapes and objects.

2. Wrap it up!

Decorating with Gift Wrap….We wrapped the inside of the faux chalkboard fireplace in the girl’s room. You can use it to wrap over doors, framed wall art, to cover the tops of tables, or even cut into shapes and put on the wall!

3. Put a Wreath on it!

I bought this real Boxwood Wreath for under $10.00 from Trader Joe’s. I added an ornament from Target and some Ribbon ( left over from my wedding years ago, awwwww) and TaDaa! A special wreath for your front door.
If you are an advanced crafter, you could even make your own wreaths. You could use store bought items to make a wreath or found and foraged items from your back yard! I used real Boxwood to make mini Boxwood wreaths for all of our windows and some walls. It definitely took longer to make these than I wanted but the end result was totally worth it. I also threw in a cute little photo of my son Ethan.

4. No Gift Wrap ? No Problem!

Wrap gifts with paper items around your home. I used a Trader Joe’s paper grocery bag and used/old “stendig ” calendar pages. Top them off with something fun , like some free greenery from your yard to some store bought pom-poms and then you got yourself some fun gifts from re-purposed items and paper!

5. Throw it up! Some garland that is.

Real or fake…. it doesn’t matter. If you want to get fancy, wrap it in lights! Also, enjoy a pic of some cuties.

6.Christmas Past ….

Decorate by framing or displaying past Holiday photos or new photos if you have them already. They can even just be winter photos. I hope you all enjoyed these little tips. Wishing you and yours a very happy Holiday Season! Happy Crafting! LOVE , The Kipphuts

Funkins // BeachDayz & Craft

By Rachel Fox Kipphut, Contributor Leave a Comment

Summertime means spending time at the beach. Whether you are soaking in the sun or trying to beat the heat, beaches are fun for the whole family! Originally,our family is from New York and we have since moved to North Carolina. We have enjoyed discovering new beaches in the South as a family. At the beach, our toddler girl’s seem to be getting more and more confident in the water. This summer,we have spent time at Jamestown Beach in Williamsburg, Virginia and Jordan Lake in Apex, North Carolina. What we love about summer living in the south is the frequent summer thunderstorms. We got to experience a beautiful storm while at the beach in Williamsburg. We also enjoyed looking for shells (and catching a strange bug flying near Elsie in one of our photos). For every beach the girl’s have been to, I have taken a few shells back to scrapbook. So far, none have been as big as the ones we found in Virginia. I felt as though these shells needed to be on display. When we returned home, our friends in Virginia recommended that we boil the shells in water on the stove-top with a small cap full of bleach. This is to rid the shells of any stinky or fishy smells. I thought that was a great idea! I have seen many shells put in frames and jars before, but I hadn’t seen any that were fun and funky. If you know me, you know I love bright, fun and funky colors! I sat the girl’s down for them to each paint a shell they had found using three different colors. You can even paint them in ombre effect or paint them more abstract like ours. Once the shells dried, we hot-glued them to paper that we placed in a shadow box frame. In the lower right hand corner I labeled the beach and year and ….. VOILA! Now we have a little piece of the beach on display to always remember our trip. I bet you could even take a little bit of the sand back with you to fill the bottom of your shadow box. We hope to visit a few more beaches before we head back to school with more shells and some new fun beach memories. Hooray for beach fun!

Meet Allie known to many as @allieroyall! Allie is Babiekins Magazine newest contributor and we are over the moon excited to be adding Allie to the Babiekins family because that means that we get to add Poppy and her newest little heart throb Henry to the family too! We first meet Allie on instagram a year or so ago and thought her family was so cute we had to feature her daughter poppy on our stylekins series.
We want you all to get to know Allie a little better so we asked her some questions about her favorite things, her daily routine and everything in between!

Allie! We are so excited to have you! Where are you actually located?
We live in Columbia, South Carolina.

What are a couple of your favorite things to do?
1. Spend time with my husband and children on the weekends. Our weekends usually have no agenda and are completely stress free.
2. Shop for vintage clothing for my children! I get a rush if I find a piece of vintage clothing in mint condition, with tags still attached.
3. Sew! My mother has been sewing since she was a little girl, and thankfully she has kept the art alive in our family. Making and creating clothes for my daughter is very rewarding.
4. Anything that involves warm weather!
5. Take photographs of my children when they are their happiest!

Poppy is the cutest! What’s one expression she loves to say “I love you thousands and thousands!”

What are your current favorite designers ?
For girls: Morley Kids, Misha Lulu, Flora and Henri, Dagmar Daley, Bonpoint, anything handmade, and of course anything vintage.
For boys: I am still learning the ropes on this, and my list is growing. Oeuf Nyc, Mini Rodini, Bonton, and of course anything vintage.

Any must haves for your own kiddos?
Mustela Hydra Bebe Face (face lotion that smells like heaven), Honest Company: Honest Shampoo and Body Wash, The Ergo Baby. I believe all girls need a pair of Mary Janes, and all boys need a pair of Vans.

What does 10 am look like for you It is usually still a pajama party here. Cup of coffee in hand.

What’s something you don’t leave the house without:
A cold Dr. Pepper or Coca- Cola, my iphone, and hopefully I remember my children.

By Priscila Barros, Editor-in-Chief 2 Comments

Introducing the newest Babiekins Magazine member. Little Cruz Stanton Barros!

Introducing the newest member of Babiekins Magazine! Cruz Stanton Barros!

I finally had enough strength to go upstairs and show Cruz his nursery. It’s a fun mix of colors, vintage and modern things I love and of coarse gifts from people that love Cruz as much as we do! We will have more pictures in Print 3 coming out soon!

Introducing the newest member of Babiekins Magazine! Cruz Stanton Barros!

When Cruz isn’t chilling with mama he is usually hanging out in his big brother’s room! Details of this room will be in print 3 also!

As you can imagine it has been pretty busy around my house with the new addition. I am enjoying the little things with this one. Looking at every crease on his skin as he’s feeding, enjoying the smell of his skin and listening to every little

sound he makes. Babies are magical!

Cruz was born September 12 and was a little thing! 6 pounds 4 ounces of love! Check out our instagram for more images

Copyright © 2021 · Babiekins Magazine | A Trendsetting Kids' Fashion Magazine and Online Community for Parents and Children Alike · Since the Southern California birth of Babiekins in 2010, the magazine has grown from into an internationally-recognized print publication with a global circulation and now a thriving online community. We are more than a kids’ fashion magazine. We search everywhere for inspiration, and go beyond trends to bring you fashion, style, decor, design, books, DIY, parties, and playthings. Our readers look to us to keep up with the best and most up-to-date concepts in the children’s market worldwide. We have an eye for quirk. We’re high-fashion, but we value whimsy over tradition. Playful childhood is more important to us than making kids into copycat adults. We believe life is beautiful, life is valuable, and life changes when you see it through the eyes of a child. We seek to transcend skin color, language and zip codes and bring out the real, wild, magical creativity inherent in every child. And behind Babiekins is an optimistic team of mothers-turned-editors, working from home, often with our own little babiekins climbing on, under and around the desks. We want to encourage you, and challenge you to see something different — something special — in yourself and in this world we all share. Welcome to Babiekins!
