Happy December from my two winter babies 👶🏼

Today, I made some egg muffins & meat muffins.
Not for me though...

I’m trying some more sophisticated meal options for Sarelle. I’m curious how they will go down. But I think they will be a hit. Since she already likes and eats these ingredients on their own. Now We are ready to experiment with combined ingredients.

I just have to make sure she doesn’t stuff too much in her mouth. Her current mealtime habit! Even when I give her less at a time, I notice she’ll make little pockets and accumulate food on the roof of her mouth. So we are working on chewing and slowing down skills 😉

Even though these are for her...the egg muffins look amazing. I think I’ll be sharing one with her tomorrow for lunch 😋

Egg muffins:
4 eggs
2 tbsp grated grass fed goat cheddar
1/4 cup chopped cooked spinach
2 tbsp cooked onions
1/4 cup cubed squash

Pour into muffin cups and bake.

Meat muffins:
1/4 Lb ground grass fed beef
2 tbsp cooked onions
2 tbsp carrots
1 egg
Mix and put into muffin cups

Bake for 15 minutes at 360

My little snuggler having her dessert + a funny st

My little snuggler having her dessert + a funny story about these booties 🤎

I’ve actually had these cute brown booties from @po_zu for over 5 years...but only started wearing them this year.

I was convinced they were too small but didn’t want to get rid of them because they are so special (they are made from sustainable fabrics, cork and have a coconut fibre based sole). Not your average bootie. They are also from Europe so definitely not easy to get or replace.

After considering having them stretched, inserting a zipper, donating them...this year, I was determined to get them on my feet. Instead of trying to jam my foot in them, I had the brilliant idea of changing the angle of how I put them on. Essentially I now make a ballerina foot and they slide on and I never want to take them off because it feels like I’m wearing slippers. I can’t believe it finally worked. I feel like Cinderella 😂

It’s companies like this I love supporting and sporting. It’s been way too long without a @po_zu on my foot and I’m so happy to be finally wearing these.

Definitely check them out if you’re into their style and especially if you’re in Europe.

While I still can. I want to support as many local businesses as possible.

They need all the support and all the love they can get right now ❤️

I know in many cities “dining in” and “shopping in” is not an option.

But for now in #yqg it is.

So get out there and dine out, shop in store and give some #locallove if you still can. Otherwise, order clean healthy food in (every now and then) and get online and support the little guys. They will be forever grateful 🙏🏼

Tag your favourite small/local business below that could use a shout out 🙌🏼🙌🏼

Gua Sha’ing has become my new favourite addition

Gua Sha’ing has become my new favourite addition to my daily routine.

Luckily all it takes is a few minutes after my shower or I also do it before bed. It’s so soothing on my face and my skin feels amazing after a brief session.

I had never tried it before but had heard of it. So for my birthday this year, Jesse gifted me the empress set and now I can include it as part of my self care routine so I can look young forever-best birthday present ever (FYI I am not being paid to say this - just a new superfan 🤗)

A bit about Gua-Sha for newbies like me.
It’s an ancient ritual to help clean, smooth, plump, tighten and rejuvenate skin while reducing underage circles and puffiness. It works with muscle fascia and the lymphatic c systems to help circulation and detoxification.

First you put on a nourishing oil and then you use the stone to draw upwards along your face. It’s like a gentle massage for your face and if nothing else, your skin just feels like it has woken up.

I am still learning how to master my strokes and technique but in the meantime, I can honestly say that my skin feels incredibly soft (as the empress oil is made from delicious ingredients that are all natural + hydrating and smoothing). More than how it makes me look after I just love how my face feels.

If you are interested, I can offer you 15% off any of their products if you go to the link in my stories.

But please tell me, have you done this before. What has been your experience?

Encourage all the senses 💥

In our playtime, I love bringing Sarelle in the kitchen with me to cook, bake and prep.

However, she’s now at the stage where I have to really watch those wandering hands when she is on me 🖐🏼

But having her up close to what I’m making is so good for her senses. I tell her everything I’m doing, show her all the ingredients I’m using and I even let her taste test (depending on what it is). I know I have a budding foodie on my hands. Given her insatiable appetite 😋

Now I just can’t wait until she can actually help in the kitchen by my side 🙌🏼👩‍👧

Milky Mama GIVEAWAY ✨✨✨ But first… I want

Milky Mama GIVEAWAY ✨✨✨
But first…
I want to share something about Fenugreek that you may want to know.

After taking capsules and capsules fenugreek when I was trying to up my supply when Sarelle was first born, I have since learned that it can suppress thyroid hormones and can be problematic for mama’s with thyroid issues. Ahem. That’s me!

So even though it may work for some mama’s, I have realized that it’s not something I want to take anymore. Instead, I started using the Milk-A-Plenty tincture from @ruminanaturals tinctures over a month ago, and I have noticed a HUGE difference in my supply. (Thanks @wholechildco 🙏🏼)

This is a company that specializes in beautiful tinctures for mama’s milk with pure and natural ingredients. They also have a line up of different body salves from baby bum to mommy nipples.

So if you are a mama or mama to be that wants some extra support for milk production…I am giving their three top tinctures away (swipe to see). Milk-A - Plenty, Goats Rue and The Milky Way.

If you want to win awesome trio then please…

1. Like this post ❤️
2. Make sure you are following @marniwasserman @ruminanaturals
3. Tag three mama’s that could use a boobie boost🤱🏼🥛

Winner must live in Canada or USA.
Contest will end on November 25th at 12pm EST and the winner will be tagged in comments and announced via stories.
Winner must share their products when they arrive and tag me and Rumina :)

Bonus! Repost on your stories and tag @marniwasserman & @ruminanaturals

Good luck and happy milk making.

I made some of my favourite granola today, but this time... I added oats!

If you’ve been following my postpartum journey you know that oats are one of the only grains I brought back into my diet after years of being #grainfree. I find them easy to digest and thankfully I don’t react to them anymore.

I never thought I’d eat an oat again. But never say never.

When I started breastfeeding I had this innate desire for oats. Warming, filling and a natural galactagogue (promoting milk supply), I just wanted a comforting bowl of oatmeal all the time.

So here I am still wanting to incorporate oats from time to time. So I tossed a cup of them in my granola today. I have to say they added an amazing texture and crunch - as they were toasted to perfection.
**Always keep an eye on your granola so it doesn’t burn!

I can’t wait to put a scoop of this goodness on my buffalo kefir in the morning.

Here is the recipe with or without oats 💛

2 cups chopped almonds
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup chopped cashews
1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
1/2 cup coconut flakes
1 cup oats optional (otherwise use sunflower seeds or more nuts)
1/2 cup coconut oil
2-4 tbsp maple syrup
Pinch of salt
Pinch of cinnamon

Place in a bowl and toss together. Pop in the oven at 300 for 20 minutes and then stir and bake for another 10.
