Skyler did great walking into KINDERGARTEN with a big smile on his face this morning. I, however, was a bit of a mess on our walk home. 🥹
It’s wild how fast these 5 years with him have gone … 7 since we moved to NYC and into our apartment, dreaming of the day our kids would someday go to the *awesome* school right down our block. 🏫
That day is today, and I still don’t believe it — feeling allll of the emotions and thanking God for placing us here and for being able to trust His timing through the journey. 🫶🏼 #hbshinnyc
SO proud of you, SK - you are going to rock your first year at your “big boy school” - WE LOVE YOU !! 🩵👑](https://lifeinleggings.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)

My daughter has been an almond milk drinker since we discovered her cow’s milk sensitivity when she was a year old (2.5 now). It converted my whole household (including a very stubborn husband). I use almond milk in everything and even almond flour. LOOOOVE it!
Nice work! Scott isn’t a big fan of Almondmilk on it’s own, but he doesn’t mind when I use it in smoothies!

I like to make batches of almond meal by blending raw almonds in the food processor – i use the almond meal to make homemade Lara bars, thicken up my cauliflower pizza crust, throw it in smoothies, dip chicken breast strips in Frank’s hot sauce then almond meal to make healthy chicken wing strips, etc. There are so many incredible things to make with almonds!
My favorite way(s) to eat almonds are in trail mix OR sliced and tossed over top a kale & brussel sprout salad. Delicious!

Does homemade almond butter count? Haha. I love to keep a tub in my desk at work to eat as a snack in the afternoon with some yogurt or an apple!
I went my entire life thinking nuts, other than peanuts, were funky and avoided them as much as possible. A few months ago, my dad was eating walnuts and I decided to give it a shot. Low and behold- they are AMAZING. Thus began my journey into finding out I like a lot of nuts- almonds as well! I had forgotten about my love of them until this post thank you for the remind, Heather! I have never tried any flavored nuts so I am eager to see what they are like!

I love almonds in my oatmeal in the morning!

I love almonds! I enjoy them most just eating them by the handful… Or covered in chocolate ;p
