I am not a breakfast person, never have been. I like my coffee in the morning and that's about it. Problem is, it often gets to be 1 or 2 PM and I realize the only thing I've had is coffee; not a great way to start your day, especially when you're a breastfeeding mama. … Continue reading Tahini bliss balls
Happy Monday, hope you are all having an awesome start to your first week in December! Can you freakin believe it's December already? Seriously, where did the time go?

So obviously it's pumpkin spice season, (does anyone else feel like it should have its own season … Continue reading Old fashion pumpkin cakies
Well it's that time of year again - pumpkin spice time. You were thinking fall right? I mean it's that time too; but I seriously think pumpkin spice should have its own season, haha.

Well today I woke up to about 6 inches of snow on the ground, and then it kept snowing; and about now I'm guessing there's a solid 12-15 inches. Welcome to autumn in Calgary, ugh.
