Lactation cookies

This recipe may only apply to 1% of my readers (if that) but if I’m being honest, the fact that these ingredients are supposed to assist in milk production doesn’t totally matter because they taste awesome.  I mean, they are cookies.  So, duh.  And they have wholesome ingredients like coconut oil and oats so they aren’t going to make you feel gross after you binge on the whole batch. As hippie as I am, I didn’t even know about lactation cookies until I was well on my way nursing P and I never had any issues… Read more >

The weekly menu

This one will be a bit different because we were in the hospital for part of the week.  And then we got home and were treated to a couple of meals (take out from my mom and home-made from my girlfriend).

The weekly menu

Another gorgeoussssss weekend of sun and outside time as a fam bam.  Happy days for sure.  Spring in Davis has me all up in the best mood ever.  And guess what!?!  Farmer’s market returned on Wednesday nights this week!  It continues year round on Saturday mornings, but the Wednesday night sessions are the absolute best. Evening picnics with babies and food and music and fun makes me adore the town we live in more than any other place ever.  OK, ok, the dinner menu. Saturday night Kyle grilled chicken (again) and we all hung out outside (he… Read more >
