  Just a few pictures and words for you today. This has been a bit of an exhausting week. My coworker was sick so I’ve been running a busy clinic alone all week (and will be until next Wednesday). Meredith has been having one of her “spirited” weeks as well. I’ve been reading this book and it’s given me a lot of insight. I’ve been using some techniques on Meredith and I do think they help…but the whole process is draining. It will be good though. She and I are very different, but I love my spunky girl so much.

Genius: This is partly my friend Lauren’s genius, because she had the fun idea to take Meredith to visit this adorable new independent toy store in town. So we went last Sunday after lunch, and since it was 30 min away I had to keep Meredith awake on the way there or else it wasn’t gonna happen. No one wants to be around her if she’s woken up from a nap. So we had a very intense conversation about Frozen on the way there as well as singing the same song about twenty times, but it worked. And she was just in the best mood, and played happily with all the different toys, and she didn’t know that you could buy…

cinnamon-topped oatmeal muffins

October 9, 2014

This is the second in my ten quick breads challenge. It is a delicious challenge. This time I went for muffins. I like that they’re not overly sweet (except for the topping…yum) and that they have oatmeal which is hearty – and good for lactation if that’s something important to you. :) Cinnamon-topped oatmeal muffins adapted from More-With-Less 1 cup sifted flour 1/4 cup sugar 3 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup quick or old-fashioned oats 1/2 cup raisins (optional – I didn’t have any, so I left them out) 3 Tablespoons oil 1 egg, beaten 1 cup milk For the topping: 2 Tablespoons sugar 2 teaspoons flour 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon melted butter Preheat oven to…
