My kids have decided that they will no longer nap at the same time during the day. My hour or two of midday quiet is gone. I won’t lie – I was pretty upset at first. I relied on that hour or two. But they’re both still damn cute, and I roll with the punches. […]

Homemade Oat Milk + Stovetop Granola
Given the refugee crisis engulfing Europe – and the world – at the moment, writing about milk and oats seems totally trivial.
