Today is rainy and gloomy, but a year ago it was warm and sunshine poured down from the sky as my contractions started, a sign of the two new lives soon to enter the world. Today, a year ago Duncan and Owen were born!
I want to take a moment and reflect on the things I [...]

1/8 tsp. cinnamon (I just sprinkle it in)
1-2 TB. honey
1 ripe banana
1/2 C. OJ
