So about now, I’m feeling pretty ready. And that’s not really because I have more checked off on my “to do” list. It’s more because I’m feeling the waves of peace and clarity that the mental preparation has brought to me. The knowledge that only so much is in my control. And that “so much” happens to be very little. The peace that surrounds me when I realize God will be right there throughout every little moment of labor and postpartum. And of course the excitement that I have to meet our child. There’s something about pregnancy that makes you feel close to your child, but also like they’re one big mystery. I guess that’s the definition of a miracle. 

We’re in the homestretch now! As a first time mom, it's really hard to cipher what you will need at the hospital & postpartum, but hopefully I'm on the right track. I've done my classes, my homework, and watched what helps other moms thrive! I filled m bedside cart with practical changing supplies and feeding supplies (hopeful breastfeeding mom here!). In our hospital bags, I packed lots of natural pain relief tools and strategies, so if you're interested in that side of things, definitely check out my links.

All the chewiness of traditional granola clusters! Made from scratch, these clusters pack in the nutrition and offer a cleaner alternative to store bought. Customize this recipe SO many ways, and enjoy it with milk as a cereal or with yogurt as a topping!

This is my favorite energy bite recipe. The nutty almond butter paired with the raw honey make the most delicious base to deliver these superfoods to your body! Extremely nutrient dense and high in protein and fat!

This recipe tastes nostalgic. Chewy oat and walnut clusters. Warm cinnamon and vanilla. And the mild sweetness of a dried wild blueberry.
