Showing off this #23weeks baby bump + sharing this Showing off this #23weeks baby bump + sharing this super easy basic muffin mix that you should have stocked in your pantry if your family likes muffins as much as mine ! If I bake muffins, they disappear within a day or two. We love them for a quick snack or to enjoy at breakfast time with a smoothie or fresh fruit or with a hot bowl of oatmeal. 

Make this muffin mix in bulk and then prepare your muffins plain or with any add-ins you'd like. No need to ever buy a boxed muffin mix again! 
Head to the blog for the full recipe and a list of 12 mix-ins/ flavor combo ideas.

We've had a festive St. Patrick's Day so far. We started the day with spinach pancakes & blueberry muffins, Liam has a friend over, so I made some sugar cookies with green fosting & sprinkles for a treat. 
I have corned beef and cabbage in the crock pot for dinner tonight, the kids and I are wearing our green, and we've got a good stack of St. Patrick's Day books to read tonight. 
It doesn't take much to make these "smaller" holidays to a more magical, memorable level, without spending  money. 
May your St. Patty's Day be a good one, friends!

We tried hammer printing some clovers today, but t We tried hammer printing some clovers today, but they didn't really turn out. So we grabbed some green ink and made some clover (and a few other small leaves) ink impressions instead! Perfect excuse to sit in the sunshine, play with plants, and talk about the history of Saint Patrick and what he did for Ireland. We also like to compare the 3 leaf clover to the trinity. 3 separate leaves, but one plant.

We took an early gender test with this baby becaus We took an early gender test with this baby because I just could not wait to find out. 
I'm finally getting around to sharing
our little secret....
IT'S A BOY!
#boymom💙 of three ! 
His name is Benjamin (middle name still to be decided), and he is already so so loved. 

He will be sharing the nursery with Theodore someday, and I can already here the giggles and pitter-patter of little feet that will come from that little boy room. 

What a difference it is this time around preparing for another baby! Liam and Theo have an 8 year age gap, so I had to basically start completely from scratch with Theo. The clothes I had kept of Liam's were either so worn/elastic shot from age, or the wrong season. 
Benjamin and Theodore will have birthday's not even a month apart, so the seasons line up quite perfectly. We have just about everything we need. I just need to get the adapter piece for my stroller to convert it into a 2-seater. And to stock up on diapers, of course. Though now we finally live in a house where cloth diapering will be much easier. I cloth diapered Liam at home and used disposable when we were out and about. We have a basement sink that would work pretty perfectly for that. 
I'm also excited for Theo to have someone to grow up and play with. This is something Liam just never had, and it does make me a little sad that he didn't get to experience having a playmate. Liam does play with Theo now, but a 10 year old and 18 month old can only play so many ways. 

I knew it was a boy before we found out. I had a dream of 3 boys running around a mountain farm and it kind of reminded me of Legends of The Fall (my fav movie). Bring on the Carhartts, muck boots, trucks, mud puddles, nerf guns, superheros and cowboy hats. I was meant to be a boy mom ! 🤍
