Seventeenth-century Netherlands is a time and place that inspires our imagination. This maritime country conjures up images of windmills and dikes, picturesque farms, bustling cities, and harbors filled with ships returning home from far-away lands, their holds packed with spices. The small country enjoyed vibrant economic growth and a remarkably tolerant society that welcomed people of all religious backgrounds. The enormous legacy of this period of the Dutch republic, which artists, writers, and poets celebrated as its Golden Age, has enriched all our lives. As historians search for a fuller understanding of its unique character, they continually return to the central role of the family.

Children are an essential part of the story, because how they were raised and taught, how they played, and what they ate and drank offer fundamental insights into Dutch lives. The images in the book are organized around eight themes: Infancy; St. Nicholas: Bringer of Sweets and Toys; Celebrations and Music; Toys and Games; Animals as Pets and Companions; Inventing Fun, Games, and Mischief; Shopping for Food Treats; and Winter Activities: Outdoors. A recipe chapter provides inspiration for cooking projects, allowing children to prepare tastes of the past. Through words and images, we learn that while some pleasures enjoyed by Dutch youngsters 400 years ago have changed, some have remained the same and are sources of fun and excitement for children today.

Hear Me Out!
Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
Okay, all moms, you've got to hear me out on this one! The first time my kiddo tried this he hated the flavor! I mentioned it in my IG stories and the company themselves sent me tips and tricks on how to serve these meats. The problem was, my baby had never had baby meat before, just fruits and veggies. Please understand that the thickness is a little thicker, but still creamy enough for even new eaters. We tried different recipes and ideas and now my son love them and gets his proteins. I am SUPER impressed with this company and their willingness to help and offer advice and ideas. Their products are HIGH quality and made of only the best ingredients which makes this mama very happy!

Gives me peace of mind to find a healthy meat substitute
Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6), Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
I’ve been looking for a healthy mean purée squeezy and my daughter loved this! Ate the entire pouch no problem in her first try! My daughter has a rare genetic condition where she lacks the ability to stop bad cell growth so she’s more susceptible to getting sick so I feel better that we found a healthy alternative

High protein snack
Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 12)
Our toddler enjoys this new flavor, but is generally a fan of Serenity meat pouches, so... I appreciate that it has 100 calories and more protein (6g rather than 5g) than some other flavors. That makes it a more substantial snack.

Love this brand but not this flavor.
Flavor Name: Turkey Bolognese with Bone Broth, Size: 3.5 Ounce (Pack of 6)
My son usually gobbles Serenity products up. This flavor pouch was different from his favorite. I tried several times to give him one of these pouches, but he wouldn't eat it. It could be just him but this flavor isn't it. The ingredients are supreme, but I was disappointed they went to waste because they were expensive.

Game-Changer for My Space!
Color: White, Size: 4 Panel Basic
I recently purchased the Kecreque 4-Panel Room Divider, and it has completely transformed my living area. At 88" wide, it provides ample coverage, creating a private nook in my open-concept home. The white polyester fabric is not only sleek and modern but also wrinkle-resistant and easy to clean—just a quick wipe with a damp cloth, and it looks brand new. Assembly was a breeze; I had it set up in about 20 minutes. The metal frame feels sturdy and durable, and the three extra-wide metal feet offer excellent stability, ensuring it doesn't tip over easily. I love how the panels are connected with flexible buckles, allowing me to adjust the configuration to suit my needs—be it a straight line or an angled setup. This divider has been perfect for creating a dressing area in my bedroom, and I've also used it to section off a workspace in my living room. Its versatility is unmatched, and it folds down compactly when not in use, making storage hassle-free. If you're looking for a stylish, functional, and easy-to-use room divider, I highly recommend this one. It's been a fantastic addition to my home!
