Our small group had a special Sunday this week at church. We have been trying to add in projects and events that model showing love and serving others to our little ones. With toddlers, this isn’t always easy! 1. First, we invited the kids! My sneaky pete does NOT sit still. 🙂 2. We brought…
You know that saying, don’t make a mountain out of a mole hill? I’ve updated it, both for the current weather and because who even knows what a mole hill is anyway?

With gestational diabetes, most of my favorite breakfasts are a no-go, and I’ve been trying to get more protein into all of my meals lately. When my husband suggested we try to blend cottage cheese, I was extremely skeptical. But I’ve got…

On TV, the pregnant lady gets to eat what she wants. She gets to have cravings and demand late night ice cream runs from her husband. This pregnant lady has been diagnosed with gestational diabetes.
