Healthy Banana Smash Cake

I'm so excited about the way this smash cake turned out for my baby's 1st birthday! I wanted to make something healthy that wasn't going to give her a sugar rush and then crash. Nevermind that I've never made a cake by scratch before.. but this was actually pretty easy and everyone liked it! (or at least they said they did!) I am totally going to make it again just as a healthy cake for myself sometime! I am thinking a not-so-terrible cheat during figure competition prep? I mean oats and bananas are my staple figure prep carbs anyway! What you need: 5 ripe bananas 1&1/2 cup oat flour (I use my ninja blender to grind up oats into a flour but if you don't have a processor or blender that would do this you might be able to find oat flour or maybe go with coconut flour? vs white flour) 1/2 cup natural unsweetened apple sauce (Mimi's homemade is even better!) 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking soda 3 teaspoons vanilla extract coconut oil spra

If you're looking for a Natural Peanut butter... check out the ingredient list on the back. It should really only say "peanuts", often too you will see: sugar, salt and honey or peanut oil. All of these ingredients are ok too. One thing you don't want to purchase is a peanut butter that contains PALM OIL. Why would a peanut butter need palm oil if

My Homebirth Stories

I have been wanting to write my birth story but when it's number 3 and you have two littles, one being a year and a half old and still nursing and two dogs and a crazy house with visitors and people coming and going - it's kind of impossible to sit and write things out. I wanted to write it as soon as possible so I didn't forget anything but that just didn't happen right away. At 3 weeks post partum I feel I still have a good recollection of the event and even with the memory of my first birth 4 years ago. That being said - I want to give a little background story on my first two home births just to give some comparison. My 1st child - Israella - I was clueless and didn't really even know what Braxton Hicks felt like or what to expect for labor or contractions. Wednesday February 25th 2015 at 39 weeks pregnant, during the middle of the night going into Thursday morning I was awoken by what felt like period cramps. I had a few that woke me and then
