A couple weeks ago I took my girls to paint pottery.

I picked out a cute dragon and asked the girls to help me design it. They had fun picking the colors and offering creative ideas.

Later that night, I told the girls there was a reason why I wanted to paint the cute dragon. That’s when I shared the cute dragon is for their baby brother.

The girls were shocked, but took the news very well. We are looking forward to welcoming our little one in October!

Want to grow amazing nutrient rich sprouts at home?

What’s needed:

✨sprouting seeds- you can find so many options on Amazon- broccoli, alfalfa, red radish, etc.
✨sprouting jars- also many on Amazon
✨Rinse your seeds and drain the water 2-3 times per day
✨keep the jars in indirect sunlight
✨you’ll have sprouts within 3-4 days!

Sprouting increases the nutrient content! Generally, sprouts have higher levels of protein, folate, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, and vitamins C and K than full grown veggies.

CAUTION: it is not safe for people with compromised immune systems to eat raw sprouts. This includes children, elderly, and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. These individuals can enjoy sprouts that are thoroughly cooked.
