This tastes amazing ! And it's clean eats to top it off !!!

Coconut whipped cream ! It is heavenly . And it went on top of strawberries and blueberries - I finished it off with a little chia & toasted coconut . Amazing .

I was remiss and didn't take any pictures of making this little bit of heaven . I guess I'll make it again , soon . Poor me . Haha - I can't wait . But I will put what I did ! 
Really this post is a reminder that you can have treats AND be rocking the skinny jeans ! Let's all do a happy dance for that ! 
I start with a can of FULL fat coconut milk - yes it needs to be . And a cold bowl . Yep that's all - I separated the liquid and whipped the solids , it whips beautifully . As a side note , make sure the milk you buy doesn't contain guar gum , it won't separate and you need it too . Adding vanilla and a sweetner and whipping that in too is a good idea , too ! 

Happiness is ...

At this moment I am happy . I am not perfect . My kids aren't , either . And neither is my husband . But I am actively seeking joy . It may sound a bit Pollyanna , but when you are looking for reasons to be happy more keep coming. 
I have struggled with this . But now , a good spelling test score or a word of kindness from my kids is reason to party- a good workout , a great evening conversation with Bryce , these are the things I am choosing to get excited about . Did the workout make me instantly think ? No . One kind moment between my girls mean they won't argue over who showers first tonight - nope . But it's a step in the right direction !
