My Baby is in a Big Boy Bed

Image
Hi, friends! Happy Hump Day! So, first things first: My BABY is in a BIG BOY bed now. Oh, my heart. All the tears. Time, please slow down. I know it’s all so cliche, but, man, time flies with these little ones. They grow up so fast, and I can’t believe my sweet baby is no longer in a crib. He did a great job the first night and stayed put until morning. He even returned the blanket and pillow that he borrowed from the couch in his room before he came out of his bedroom. So cute. Fingers crossed he continues to stay in bed! Update: I’m finishing this blog post on Tuesday morning and night #2 in the big boy bed went well too.

The alternative flour market has exploded in recent years. A decade ago, you had gritty almond flour and fibrous coconut flour, and that was about it. Today, there are many more flours to sift through. But w hat are the best ones? Which ones fit best into a Primal way of eating, and why? Today, I’m going to lay it all out. I’ll give a brief explanation of each Primal-friendly flour, including the facts, features, and characteristics that I find relevant and notable. That way you can decide what’s best for you. Almond Flour You know it. You love it, or at least tolerate it. For most long-term Primal eaters

This post is sponsored by  thredUP There is nothing more exciting than getting dressed up and going out on a date! Especially when the weather is sunny and 80 degrees and the whole weekend lies in front of you. Dating this guy has been such a blast this year! We love to share apps and entrees and compare tasting notes. And of course, he is so handsome sitting across the table!   With summer date nights on the horizon, thredUP asked me to put together some date night looks to share on the blog. This is my third post with thredUP (see last fall’s dress selection and my  workout steals post !), so I have learned the ropes! thredUP is the largest online store that buys and sells high-quality secondhand clothing for women and kids.
