So being a stay at home dad has its perks. My 2 year old baby girl Skye loves her milk. So we have been giving her milk forever it seems like. Actually only since she got off formula. So then I started to look at the fats?
Saturated Fat in her milk 5 grams
Trans Fat in her milk 0 grams
So I am thinking wow I know she needs fats but do I really want to give her that much Saturated Fat? I decided to take a look at powdered milk. Here are the stats on powdered milk:
Saturated Fat in powdered milk 0 grams
Trans Fat in powdered milk 0 grams
Hmmm so being a father and concerned with how much saturated fat she is getting I came up with an idea. I told Beth to get two gallons of milk and we have plenty of milk. We will give her regular milk and we will drink the milk as well until it is half gone in one of the gallons. Then what I do is I put powdered milk in with the half gallon of milk until I have a full gallon of half powdered milk and half regular milk. Then as we drink the other milk she can suck down the powdered/regular milk.
This not only saves money but is healthier and she is still getting fat but not as much. Just starting to do this you would really be surprised how long those two gallons lasted.
Well that is my run down on Saturated Fat and babies :)

Well this is the Introductory to a new blog that I hope wakes you up in the morning with some positive inspiration. Does not matter your inspiration whether you work, travel, ride your motorcycle, play, or just sitting out in the morning having a cup of coffee.
My name is Ironhorse or IH for short. I suffer from PTSD. My PTSD is not service related it is Civilian related. See PTSD is a weird disease. With mine I have triggers all around me. Whether I go outside and do a garden, mow the lawn, raise my daughter and I will probably talk a lot about her.
Let me explain Skye for a moment. She was born almost 9 months after my brother committed suicide (I will explain the suicides in a moment) 11-21-10. One day after my mothers birthday 11-20-10. Skye was born on 7-29-11. Skye's nickname is and always will be Iron Angel. See when we found out we were pregnant? I had to go from sad to happy on a dime. Skye is amazing though she has a lower lip like my brother Jeff Morrow. She in a cosmic way probably met my brother. But Skye likes to use her crayons and coloring book, she likes to use tools to fix on her plastic car, she loves dolls. See I am a stay at home dad and a biker. She looks very much like me and she is not as mellow as my wife Beth. Skye and I have a blast during the day. Going to the library or park we just have a great time. I had her name Skye tattooed on my chest 7 months before her birth. Her full name is Skye Venetia Morrow. Skye comes from the Isle of Skye north of Scotland. Venetia means "Blessed".
My wife and I's faiths are she is a Christian and a beautiful person inside and out. I am a Pagan and a new Pagan at that. But I take the role of my ancestors who were Gaelic. Beth and I have been married for 5 years and it has been very hard. Not so much between us but what we have had to go through.
In my life I have had 5 suicides. 3 by drugs, 1 by hanging and one used a shotgun and blew his head off. My growing up was extremely hard with a mother who cannot admit her Mental Illness and a father who enables it all.
I hope by following this blog you will learn something, Have a great start to the day. Learn new and unique things and if you are suicidal or having problems you can always use me to listen to you.
My PTSD does not hold me back it empowers me to do great things. I usually save one person a month from Suicide. And I intend to not quit. I have great things in store for this blog and I really hope you enjoy it.
