So excited to start a New Year, we are now a family of four and look forward to all that it will bring for our family. We had a great night last night ringing in the New Year. We made some crafts and had our families traditional New Years Eve fondue. Today we are making our meal of black-eyed peas, ham, collard greens and cornbread. This year I have decided to make it a bit differently, using the Instant pot! I made the broth from the leftover ham bone first and then made the black-eyed peas and collard greens in the yummy homemade bone broth. This year we are going to work on making more of our own things and buying less processed and pre-made things. Making our own broth was a great start this.I will be sharing some of my cooking adventures with you this year. I hope 2018 brings many great memories and moments for my family and yours.

I am a mama to 5 tiny humans, 2 dogs, 4 cats, an ant farm and various “pet” bugs and worms. My spouse has been unexpectedly diagnosed with heart failure and DSP gene. Our youngest has been experiencing various medical struggles since late in my pregnancy with her. My life is a BeautifulMess. As a parent my days are filled with gentle attachment based parenting, breastfeeding, babywearing, coffee drinking, homeschooling & chaos. I love to learn new things and research topics. I believe we can do better when we know better. I strive to be a great mama and to do things that are the best for my family. I love sharing my experiences and the information I have learned with others, after all we as parents are in this thing called parenthood together. View all posts by beautifulmessmama
