Not because I don’t have the desire to get into the kitchen, but because I have a three month old demanding tummy time, to be cuddled with and a never ending to do list. Hello motherhood. Glad you have shown your true colors.
So, those days that I just have time for a quick bite to keep me going, energy bites keep me going.
