Something Scary Happened…
Something happened that I never in a million years expected. This story begins last Wednesday when I noticed that Vivi was developing a cough that the other kids had been passing around (thank you school germs.) Vivi is my fifth baby and I’ve had several years experience with my babies having coughs, colds, congestion… the flu. I figured this was just something I need to monitor and would pass in a few days.

Since I gave birth to Vivi, I’ve been taking it easy and haven’t worked as much as normal.

My “Go To” Lunch Right Now
THIS POST IS IN PARTNER WITH DAILY HARVEST. ALL THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS ARE MY OWN. PLEASE VISIT MY DISCLAIMER PAGE FOR MORE INFORMATION. Hey y’all! As you know, we have expanded our family by one more – sweet Vivi is here! We are loving on her 24/7 and that’s pretty much been my life since she joined us. Her and I have spent our days and nights lounging in bed so my body can heal after giving birth. Since I am recovering and breast feeding, it’s super important that I fuel my body with healthy and nutritious foods. I have preached the importance of eating this way since my blog…
