Our Story

I never thought I’d be the mother who would tolerate food being tossed across the room or cave to snappy snack demands. But alas, in 2021, I met my match in a marvelous toddler with standards as rigid as they are inexplicable.

Regardless of my negotiation tactics and 'firm but fair' approach, the tiny authority has unwavering culinary demands. An unshakable confidence paired with a lack of motor skills ensures that all meal time proceedings end in a spectacular mess.

There is laughter while I sweep. I convince myself it is in response to the amusing sound of the bristles against the floor and not my pitiful backbone. Like a court’s jester, I am further belittled into performing chicken dance and hokey pokey numbers, rewarded only by slow clap and further solicitation of snacks.

Once, in a moment of desperation, I cried out, “If you prick us, do we not bleed?!”. There was a brief pause, followed by a blueberry expertly pitched at my husband’s forehead.

We work, pay the bills, and maintain the illusion of household order. But beyond the façade, we are ruled by the iron fist of a miniature snack connoisseur.

The daily ironies of life in service to a toddler became the inspiration for FoodieTot™. A company designed to honour the social graces of spirited toddlers everywhere and the parents who lovingly serve them.
