What we’re thinking about… The Month of August
August is an important month for us mamas. It’s National Children’s Eye Health and Safety Month as well as National Breastfeeding Awareness Month. Both of these topics are big ones for our team. You can read about Heather’s eye health journey with her son below. And check out Chelsea’s struggle with breastfeed and realization that exclusive pumping is what’s best for her and baby.
What we’re listening to… Sinister, Strange, and Suspicious
Our contributor Kayse and her good friend E’lan have a brand new True Crime podcast. It’s available on all major podcasting platforms. I’ve listened to both episodes so far and, ladies, it’s not for the faint of heart. They go into some serious details. Give it a listen and let us know your thoughts!
What we’re watching… Jane the Virgin Series Finale
I CANNOT believe that, after 100 episodes, Jane is over. In case you didn’t know from this, we’re a little bit obsessed with JTV. I’m going to have fun rereading that and seeing if our predictions were correct. We won’t give any series finale spoilers here, but if you haven’t watched this show… go get your binge on. You’re welcome.
What we’re making… Blueberry Cobbler
If you caught me on Insta on Wednesday, you know that we have a CSA farm share and just got 10 whole chickens (but that’s another story). Something else we have a ton of, BLUEBERRIES! Like, so many. So I’ve been trying out lots of recipes. This gluten free, vegan blueberry cobbler is my favorite, yet. I add lemon zest to my blueberry mixture though. Give it a try!
