What I should have done was a reel. But alas, we have some still shots of these incredible edible muffins.

I went for grain-free chocolate chip & blueberry (in two small batches).

I love experimenting with new flours so cashew & tigernut are the base and they are so good.

Always thinking of Sarelle when I make new things hoping she will love them as much as I do. But yah never know. I’ve got a girl with a salty tooth and she’ll eat salty macadamia nuts over anything sweet.

So what’s in it?

1 cup cashew flour
1 cup tigernut flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
Cinnamon
Sea salt
2 eggs
2 ripe bananas
1/2 cup @livafoods date sugar
1/2 cup @nutiva coconut oil
1/4 cup macadamia nut milk
1/2 cup blueberries (in half the batter)
1/2 cup @hukitchen gems in other half

Mix wet ingredients, mix dry ingredients and combine together. Then divide batter and add your mix-ins.

Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes.
Remove from oven and try one of each 😏😀

PS I baked these while Hayden was sleeping on my back the whole time in my @cocochobaby carrrier.

I knew that my son, Hayden Beau was coming to me earlier than his due date. It was just a matter of how and when. As every baby does, he had his own plans on how he wanted to come earth-side.

In this episode #31 on The Ultimate Baby Podcast, Jesse and I share everything from when my water broke to holding him in the birth tub on his birthday. It was an emotional, painful, yet beautiful home birth experience.

We were so lucky to be in the comfort of our home with our amazing birth team. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to bring a human into this world.

Now you can listen to the audio version of my birth story. Excited to bring this out to the world. Link is in my stories or you can head over to MarniWasserman.com/apple

5 months looks good on you little guy.

Hayden, you have changed yet again this month it’s hard to keep up. But I’m starting to see the sweet little boy that you are going to become. You are so happy with that gummy smile, yet when you want or need something you have no problem demanding it until you get it.
It’s often for me to hold you, feed you, cuddle you but you always get your way.

I love how curious you are about everything. You want to see, touch, feel, taste whatever is in front of you. Going places with you is so fun as you soak in your surroundings (just like your sister). You love to be part of all the action.

I can tell you are ready to sit soon. You love to be upright, reclining or lying down just doesn’t always do it for you.

Swinging makes you calm, things that crinkle keep your hands busy & you are always trying to twist out of anything you are in.
You are getting chubbier by the minute and I love to kiss your cheeks and rolls. Looks like your eyes are brownish green? So we are thinking Hazel?
Those bottom teeth haven’t made their debut yet but they are coming. Eating solids is just around the corner and I’m so excited for your floorbed to arrive.

Soaking in ALL the changes and love how much you’re transforming everyday in front of my eyes. Cheers to 5 months.

p.s. I’m featuring two of his favourite toys right now. A teething key chain from @plantoys.official & skwish from @manhattantoy

My third Mother’s Day is celebrated this year wi

My third Mother’s Day is celebrated this year with these two beautiful babes.

There is no role in my life that has been more rewarding (and more challenging) than being a mom.

The range of emotions experienced as a mom has had me… laughing until my belly hurts, crying my deepest sobs, feeling the most excited, being extremely frustrated at times, so incredibly scared on occasion, acting the silliest, feeling the loneliest and of course emanating the most joy I could have ever imagined. It’s all part of this beautiful and enriching journey called motherhood.

Being a mom forces me to be the best version of myself. It doesn’t always happen but the reminders are there constantly. I learn lessons everyday as they teach me more than I’ll ever teach them.

Having a girl & boy has also been the greatest gift. I feel so lucky to be their mom. Thanks for choosing me Sarelle Jolie & Hayden Beau. I love you today and everyday.

Happy Mama’s Day to all the mamas out there in one way or another 💕

I most definitely couldn’t have had the birth I did again without my midwives.

I had one of the same midwives as I did with Sarelle, Trish and then this time around I also had Rachel. They both were amazing 💛

So so so much love to these two incredible ladies. They supported me every step of my pregnancy and from the second my water broke to full recovery postpartum.

The care, knowledge, wisdom, strength, support, dedication and love these women provided is beyond what I could have imagined. Having them on my birth team is one of the best decisions I made for my deliveries.

There was no better way to bring both my babies into the world. I am so grateful for them everyday!

So ready to step into this backyard full of vitality and warm sunshine.

The weather has been all over the place and so has sickness in this house.

It started with body aches and turned into a full on cold. Sarelle has been on and off sick, Jesse got hit with chills and poor Hayden had his first fever. We are all finally feeling better.

It’s been a very tough week both physically and mentally. Not feeling strong enough to hold my baby was a challenge. Sleepless & restless nights have meant lots of naps. Emotions of toddler life have been trying at times but in all honesty we are good. I am good. Just ready for it all to change.

There are worse things. The sun ☀️ will shine and these pesky colds/flus will pass. I’m just excited for the next few months. Yay for May…it’s almost summer. Our backyard is going to be our haven with swings, slides, sand, a trampoline, two new garden beds - can’t wait!

P.S. that’s our giant cherry tree just ready to explode 🍒

Miss you 😘 excited to be sharing again.

It’s one thing to feel unwell when you don’t h

It’s one thing to feel unwell when you don’t have kids. Then throw two kiddos into the mix and everything just gets so much more difficult.

I have had a few colds since both kids were born but what I am going through right now is so tough because my whole body aches to the core. It hurts to even hold Hayden for long periods of time. I hope whatever it is passes fast.

I want to acknowledge any mama that is not feeling well. There is not enough love and respect going out to mamas who have to take care of kids. Especially if they are single.

Trying to rest or do the most basic things is absolutely a struggle with little ones around. Let alone nursing and playing with them both just takes that little bit of extra effort. But of course I push through (like any mom would) and make it no big deal to them.

We are resilient beings and will do whatever it takes to care for our young. But would I just love to stay in bed all day uninterrupted, you bet!

It’s funny though, if I didn’t have kids would I really stay in bed all day? Probably not but the thought of it sounds nice. For now, I am just taking advantage of rest whenever Hayden naps. I am resorting to anything I have in the freezer for meals, as well as take out or meals made by family.

If you have been sick taking care of your little one, I hear you, I feel you ❤️‍🩹

Now off to take some homeopathic remedies.

Chicken soup for the soul. Savouring this healing

Chicken soup for the soul.

Savouring this healing bowl of chicken soup with rice and veggies. This is one of my last jars of frozen meals from my postpartum food prep.

It’s almost like I saved it on purpose for this day. There is nothing my aching chilly body wanted more.

Every spoonful felt so good especially since I don’t have much of an appetite.

Note to self, keep more jars of healing meals in the freezer for days like today. Not just for postpartum- you never know when you just aren’t going to feel like cooking and need something deeply nourishing.

Hayden and I have literally spent the whole day in bed napping and I hope I feel like my normal self again tomorrow.
