    Ok, Cottage Cheese Protein Ice Cream—are we a “yay” or “no way”. If you’re a no way, I hear ya, I was skeptic as well. But then I made it and was like OOOOOOOH, yes please! Warning: this is in no way shape or form a replacement for the real thing. But it is a super fun way to take cottage cheese to a new level! And with flavors like Lemon Cheesecake or Peanut Butter Fudge, what’s not to love?!!

Get the full recipe and all 5 flavors in my link in bio!

    5 years ago today—but how?!!

The second we laid eyes on Sam, and actually well before that, he was a million percent ours. 

April 24, 2018 made him officially forever ours and it tugs all my heart strings looking back at these photos. So grateful for my friend @jungkusa for catching all the behind the scene footage of being part of a hearing with a wild 6 month old as well 🤪. 

Every day I am so grateful for the huge sacrifice Sam’s birthmother made—she is our star. She made our family forever complete by choosing Sam and choosing us. And we are the happiest and the luckiest. 

Happy Adoption Day to our favorite little human!!! 

(@judge.winkler — he thinks we are coming to see you today apparently 🤣🤣)

And the final pic is him FINALLY passing out at @sleepybeecafe — where we went yesterday as well to celebrate!!!

    It’s a homemade protein bar kind of day if I do say so myself. Copycat Perfect Bars taste better than the real deal and save you some cash at the same time. Everyone wins! 💪🏼 This one is also vegan if you use a plant based protein powder !
