Today was my last day of maternity leave. There is no way to explain exactly how I feel. Before going into labor, I was convinced that I wouldn’t be able to stay home for more than 6 weeks and that I’d be begging to return to work. I never thought of myself as someone who would enjoy staying home with kids, cooking and cleaning, and enjoy wearing pajamas instead of classy business attire. Boy…I was so wrong. My whole mindset is different. I ended up taking 12 weeks off and there is nothing I would rather do. Don’t get me wrong. Taking care of a newborn is tough work, and there are days I feel like getting away. However, I’ve never been as stress free, content, happy, energetic (while being exhausted), and in my element as I am at home with Aiden. On another note- these enchiladas are aaaamazing! It is my Mom's recipe so I wouldn't expect any less. They aren't the healthiest and they don't follow any special diet guidelines but believe me when I say they are soo worth it!! Head on over to the blog (link in profile) and check out my thoughts on my last day of leave and get this awesome recipe!

As life would have it, its been a long time since I've been able to get on my laptop and write up the handful of recipes on my desk. First in line: Homemade Nutella. I made this when I lived in Ireland for the family I was staying with because they absolutely loved it. If you've ever read the ingredients on store bought nutella, you'd know it's not the healthiest. I had some bad cravings a couple weeks ago so I whipped up some of this deliciousness. Out of all the times I made it, this was the first time it curdled on me. Luckily adding almond milk did the trick and it was creamy and sooo good. This brought back so many memories of my time in Ireland and with the family! Its amazing how tastes (and the smell of roasted hazelnuts) can do that. <3 Link for the recipe is in the profile! #homemade #nutella #missingireland

After three years of struggling to find inspiration again, I am finally getting back into a hobby that I am passionate about: art. While ive only started with charcoal again, im hoping to expand my mediums within the next few months. So today I decided to open an Etsy shop to keep me motivated and hopefully have a couple 'orders' to fill. Even if I dont, I am so happy to be using my creative outlet again! ✏🎨🌠 https://www.etsy.com/shop/JessalynsCanvas?ref=s2-header-shopname #art #charcoal #drawing #inspiration #etsy #etsyshop #etsyseller #portraits #people #animals #personalized #backtobasics
