My Sweet Little Valentines



Valentine's day was a blast this year. :) Here are few pictures I just had to share!

 

My beautiful flowers from my Valentine! ;) Lilies are my favorite! (sigh...he's a keeper)





 We made "valentines" :) They were so proud!




The kiddos favorite...pancakes! :)

Monkey see monkey do!



And of course we can't forget Evie...especially since it is her first Valentine's Day! :)



Thanks for stopping by! :)
Blessings and Love!

My 1st Gluten & Dairy Free Menu





Well, my friends...

I recently went to the doctor and found out some life changing news. I have been having some issues since Evie's birth with my hormone levels. She also ran some allergy tests (due to her seeing my eczema) and I am allergic to...drum roll...milk...sigh...AND wheat(gluten)...double sigh... :(

So I was in a state of shock for about a week or so after realizing that milk(whey and casein) and wheat(gluten) are in just about everything this nation consumes including myself. I know this is totally dramatic, but I was feeling like my love for chocolate and food for that matter was over.  I have this insane addiction to anything chocolate...as most of us women do. ;)  

But after some research and totally revamping my kitchen, I now am feeling better mentally and physically. :) I am ready to give it a creative go at this new way of eating...which is by the way making me feel like a new person. :)

So here we go with my 1st gluten free and dairy free menu :)
