What Is It? Coconut cream concentrate is basically ground up coconuts, oil and all. Think of peanut butter, but instead of peanuts, it’s coconuts. In the name of all that is holy, this is amazing stuff. It’s mostly fat (1 tablespoon contains almost 100 calories of fat) which means a spoonful can be an excellent…
gDiapers not only has Small, Medium, and Large gPants, but also newborn Tiny gPants which are intended for your babies when they’re at their smallest. A lot of people out there seem to be very curious about these tiny gPants, especially since they’re not sold in stores, and are only available in the new baby…
What Is It? Bravado Designs makes a nursing tank that is different from every other nursing tank I’ve seen. Why is it different? Because it has a REAL BRA inside. Not a skimpy shelf bra. From 32D to 40G, women in a wide range of sizes will be able to buy a nursing tank that…
I saw this recipe on the Tropical Traditions site, and made a version of it (changed a couple things to suit what ingredients I had). Aren’t they pretty little squares? Coconut Cream “Health Fudge” In a bowl, mix: 1/2 cup honey 1/4 cup coconut cream concentrate 3/4 cup natural peanut butter 3 Tablespoons cocoa powder…
Maybe it’s because we’ve been running around a lot more in the mornings, but Anneliese has been napping like crazy lately. Seriously, I have HOURS to get things done now! So yesterday I baked those banana nut muffins, and today I tried out a pumpkin recipe I had in my head. At first I thought…
I love fall and fall foods, so I’ve been wanting to make banana nut bread since our chilly snap last week (though today was as hot as the dickens again). Pumpkin bread is around the corner, too. Since we had a couple brown bananas waiting for me in the fridge, I thought I’d throw together…
What Is It? My Baby Clothes Boutique is an online shop where you can find adorable baby clothes and cute accessories like baby hats, baby headbands, baby booties, unique baby socks and much more. Shannon at MBCB sent me a sweet hand-smocked bubble “dress” (not really a dress) for Anneliese and I to review. My…
How is my little girl growing so quickly? I don’t understand! Just a few days ago, for the first time, she reached out and grabbed a toy from me. Before that, she had been able to hold toys that I carefully placed in her hand, but this time, she grasped it on her own! She’s…
I did some things I’ve been meaning to do for a while now. It took forever. I hope you like it. (LIKE IT, PLEASE.) I made this page – Must Reads, for anyone who is jumping into Joyful Abode and hasn’t been around for the last 3 years of my writing. Do you have any…
Stealing naptime moments here and there, or doing embroidery while I nurse, I’ve managed to make a couple more little dresses for my baby girl. This time I’ve included sweet details on each one to make them even more special. The first one has a felt appliqué birdie, singing about love. I need to wash…
This post is the third installment in my gWhiz! gDiaper series. In this one, I’ll introduce you to my changing station and procedures for changing a diaper. There are countless ways to arrange your own space, but I know that this is the sort of thing I love to read – peeks into people’s organization,…
One day maybe last week, when Anneliese was napping, I whipped up this little dress for her. I need to tweak a few things for next time, but overall I love it! What do you think? Milk tongue!!! Hello, sweet girl. What? Is this too many pictures? Are you getting tired of this? All tuckered…
