Breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, snack…whatever, it works for any of them. I love it. Steel-cut oats, toasted coconut and pecans, and strawberries. You should give it a try.
Literally. Natty got a broken leg for Christmas and this was NOT on her list. Having a four year old in a full leg cast and a fair amount of pain has been interesting. It’s clearly not a ton of fun but we’re hanging in there. She and I have spent some of the most beautiful time together, it’s pretty amazing how the maternal instinct reacts when your child is in pain. I’ve actually sat down on the sofa with her DURING THE DAYTIME (Me sitting down during the day is more rare than that blue moon thing, too much to do.) to read books and watch tv and movies. She’s actually gotten hooked on Downton Abbey, if you watch it, you know how awesome it is that my four year old begs me to sit on the sofa and watch “Downton” with her. This pretty much cancels out how bizarre it is to take her to the potty. She’s been a tough little cookie and she’s a wild-thing-on-wheels in her wheelchair. Her favorite place to go in her chair is the library. We have a beautiful library with loads of sidewalk! Perfect. She went for a little roller-derby/bird-watching recently.
A broken leg can’t wipe the smile off her face for long.

A brand-new year, a brand-new life. A perfect start. This sweet little teeny-tiny person is truly precious, she does all the sweet newborn things in the most precious way. Her newborn yawns, nose-crinkles, stretches, lip-puckers, even her newborn cry is bliss. I totally got my baby-fix from holding her, I literally had a huge smile on my face with her in my arms.
Meet beautiful baby Ayanna (you may remember her beautiful mom from her amazing maternity shoot, here). Look at that amazing little face. Everything about her is darling.
