Pumpkin Waffles.
Pumpkin is a big part of fall around our house. I have been loving incorporating pumpkin into some of the quick, regular items we cook around the house for Poppy and ourselves. These waffles are easy, no sugar added and delicious.

The White Board – A simple solution to decrease household confusion, stress and forgetfulness.
Motherhood is beautiful they say – and it certainly is – but it can be equally overwhelming and very shy of glamorous. With all the tasks that seem to pile up, keeping them straight can feel daunting – especially with the dreaded “mom brain”. One of the things that was often stressful for not only myself but the household was meals and snacks. What was she eating today? A question that so often occurred and for some reason always seemed to be directed towards me, mom. My solution – a white board.
Favorite No-Cook Toddler Snacks for On-the-go and the normal Day-to-day.
Not everyday needs to be homemade and fancy. In fact, a lot of our go-to snacks are not. Finding easy snacks that aren’t overly processed and have healthy ingredients can be a challenge. But it’s also okay to let it be easy! (Often I need to remind myself of this too). Here are our favorite quick, minimal effort snacks.
Nutty Vegan Banana Pancakes.
These pancakes check all the boxes. Plant-based, common ingredients, easy and so so good. They are even gluten-free if you use gluten free oats. Perfect for some fruit on the side or any number of toppings (more about these in the recipe below). These are one of my favorite recipes to whip up last minute on a weekend morning for everyone to enjoy. I hope you do too!
Cinnamon Honey Roasted Chickpeas.
A protein packed snack that is ready in a jiffy. I try to sneak homemade snacks in throughout the week when I can and these are so easy to whip up. And, it makes a few portions worth (unless your partner eats them all before more
Mama Worry.
I was recently talking to one of my best friends who is also a mother. We were taking a walk with our children, a wonderful but almost too well known activity these days. For whatever reason, our conversation this day got a little more real and we found ourselves at a mutual conclusion: No one tells you how much you will actually worry about your child. Or more accurately I suppose, no one that we spoke to during our pregnancies was able to truly describe the feelings with words alone. Of course we love our children and of course we want the best for them.

My Perinatal Wardrobe (or lack there of). And the leggings that can do it all.
Frankly, fashion is not one of my strengths. It’s just not something that I enjoy nor something that I want to spend my money on. When I found out I was pregnant, I basically refused to buy lots of “pregnancy” clothes. I knew it was inevitable that I’d need some modifications but I didn’t plan on purchasing many items that I wouldn’t be able to wear post pregnancy.
Blueberry Banana Oat Pancakes
Pancakes are like the cousins to muffins that come in close second. They are equally yummy, straightforward to whip up in the morning (or afternoon or evening) and create lots of leftovers or an easy meal for the whole family to enjoy.
