Life Through My Eyes

I decided to make some delicious "cereal" during nap time. Except nap time never came (yay, teething!) so, I poured myself another cup of mushroom coffee (thanks Tammi!) and started baking this afternoon! And it's not really cereal, in my opinion it's closer to a healthy cookie! Win! It will make the perfect treat for Ezra! A friend sent me the recipe. We (Ezra and I) have recently been avoiding gluten. This is week 2. Its honestly NOT as difficult as I initially assumed. We are both still surviving, and finding new foods and recipes that we enjoy!

Probably some other things too, but mostly breastfeeding. We conceived Ezra on December 31st, 2014. He was NOT planned. But we are so thankful he is here. What a blessing. Truly. Cole and I talked about being parents and knew we wanted to....someday. But what we NEVER talked about much, was how we were going to raise t

Health and wellness...it's all around you! You may be into it all, or may be avoiding it all, but you likely have a health conscious friend or family member in your life that you'd enjoy buying a gift for. Or maybe you need a gift idea to treat yourself or give out to a family member this holiday season! Not sure where to start? Read below! 1. Himalayan Salt Lamp. This is actually a great gift idea for ANYONE in your life, whether they are health conscious or not. Salt lamps have many natural health benefits, their main ones being that the negative ions that the salt produces (released by heating) can BOOST blood flow, improve sleep, increase levels of serotonin in the brain, calm allergy and asthma symptoms, and so much more! Not to mention - it looks pretty cool, too. Guests in your home will benefit from it's awesomeness and health benefits as well! Interested? See more by clicking  here. 2. Epsom Salt.
