Mmmmm, I love the smell of homemade granola in the morning. : ) Just recently, we have discovered a wonderful new recipe for granola that is oh so good, but still healthy as well. (Hard to find food that is both of those things you know... ) Secret ingredient? Oh there are several to this new found recipe, but I think the real hero in this granola is: pure 100% grade b maple syrup. I have never made granola that really tasted as wonderful as this. Honestly, it is hard to go wrong with granola... I mean, if it's too sweet add some more oats or nuts, and if it is too boring add some more syrup, cinnamon, fruits, whatever you want.... This granola consists of quite a few things... oats, of course, almonds, coconut, sunflower seeds, flax seeds :O, (they're actually hardly noticeable), cranberries, raisins, blueberries, cinnamon, vanilla, and maple syrup.
Yummy.
Yummy.
The baby has been kicking me for the past two days (and nights) NON STOP!!! Lol...I love it though, it makes it so much fun... It has become more real for sure, because before I only just believed by faith (and the positive pregnancy test) that I was pregnant...then I became very sick, then I saw the ultrasound screen, and now I can feel him/her wiggling all around in there all the time! I love it! I cannot wait to find out what gender the baby is and start prepping for him or her. Children's Place here I come! ;)
So yes lately life has been very exciting. I feel like a new chapter is about to begin and we are about to become entirely different people. I'm sure it will all be a good change, and I am looking forward to seeing just what God has in store for us. He always blesses us in so many ways! I can never be grateful enough for how much He means to me. I would be absolutely NOTHING without His love and mercy. Everyday in one way or another it seems that a prayer is answered. Even if it's an answer that we didn't expect, the prayer is always answered for our good and His glory. Praise the Lord!!!
On another note: Tomorrow is a very special day for us.... I am looking forward to it with anticipation and excitement! Time goes by too fast! But it has been wonderful..... I am going to leave you guessing what it is... ; )
May you all be blessed and may you listen to God's still, small voice when He speaks to you!!!
Love Always,
Caitlin Noel
