My 1st Mothers Day

All I can say is that today is not what I expected. In fact, it has been a miserable day. I didn't get anything done that I wanted to do this weekend. No hair appt, no pedicure, no manicure (despite my very clear request that I really wanted to get these done) my clothes don't fit, found a tick on me this morning in the shower--(What?!). Oh and Dunkin Donuts sat my apple fritter on top of Chris's chocolate frosted donut putting chocolate on the bottom of my fritter. What a way to ruin my fritter. Lol!

I've been up since 3am. Lana is making all kinds of noises in her sleep and it keeps me up at night b/c I keep thinking she wants to nurse. Lana had 2 major blow out diapers at church which went all over her clothes and socks. What a disaster! Then she wanted to nurse but my dress was more difficult to nurse in than I had planned b/c my boobs blew up this morning and I couldn't pull down the now snug and very fitted flap which exacerbated her cries when she couldn't get what she needed. We finally got that resolved but her elevated cries got me completely flustered. I missed more than half the service. I was only able to catch an hour nap again b/c of her noises. Lol! What am I gonna do with this girl if she keeps this up?

This was definitely the hardest day I've had so far as a new mommy.

Michele,
Being a mom sure has it's ups and downs. I'm praying for you. I remember my first mother's day, all I wanted to do was sleep, and Katie was going through a growth spurt, eating every 1.5 hours at 5 months. I was so disappointed, too. Stay strong. God gave you Lana, and He'll pull you through.

Thanks Shawna! It's been a great ride so far, just hit a little bump. I've really enjoyed her so much. She's amazing. I just loved every minute of being with her, nursing her, and watching her grow before my eyes. God is so good.

Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas

Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas If you need a protein, fiber packed snack, Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas is an easy one to satisfy a sweet tooth as well! I like to soak my chickpeas overnight in warm water with a bit of whey prior to cooking them. This helps break down the phytic acid.  This is a very forgiving recipe and you can change it up adding your favorite seasoning. If you like spicy, try adding some chili powder. Ingredients 2 cups of soaked and cooked chickpeas or grab a can of garbanzo beans 2 tablespoon coconut oil, melted 1 tablespoon honey 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon sea salt Instructions Preheat oven to 375°F. Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a colander. Mix honey, cinnamon, melted coconut oil, cinnamon and salt. Toss chickpeas in the mixture. Spread chickpeas on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for approximately 30 minutes or up to 15 minutes longer if you want them crispy.

Fluffy dairy free pancakes

Fluffy dairy free pancakes Sadly, I’ve been dairy free due to my nursling who has a dairy issue. This has called for a good bit  of creativeness because dairy is such a big part of my family’s diet. I learned early on that water makes a sufficient substitute for fluffy dairy free pancakes; or almond milk, cashew milk or coconut milk if you want to get fancy. I’m pretty particular about processing and ingredients so I take great strides to make my own or find minimally processed ingredients so sometimes water just has to work. I have also  found that eggs can make up taste when water is used. These pancakes are pretty fluffy on their own but I used large biscuit cutters to make them thick. You could use egg rings as well. If you choose to use to do this, be sure to oil the inside of the rings really well. These are by far a favorite pancake recipe.  Ignore my slightly burnt pastured, home cured bacon. I also use this same recipe to make bacon pancakes which is a...

Amazed again!

I was speaking to Don, the owner of the lot we purchased today and he exclaimed, I know someone that knows you! Gina Patterson! Hmmm...I know I'm pregnant and losing some brain cells slowly but the name didn't ring a bell. I told him that I had no idea who that was and then he cautiously asked, how are things with the baby? I said, Great, although, we did have a scare a few weeks ago. I told him the story but then affirmed that we had some amazing prayer warriors petitioning on behalf of Lana and I and God heard the prayers and the problem disappeared. Then he said, well, that's how I thought you know Gina. I received an email from her asking to pray for you and your baby. I was afraid to ask about the baby in fear that something bad may have happened. So somehow through a course of prayer chains, emails, and phone calls, this prayer warrior saint, Gina, received word about my situation and then turned on her list of prayer warriors to get them interceding on our behal...
