I thought that I would fall asleep instantly because I didn’t have any coffee. Doh! By the end of the day I had a headache and had a tough time getting to bed which I found interesting. I didn’t do it, but I was conscious of a pesky habit I have. I went to spread almond butter on a piece of bread for Cooper and caught myself about to lick the almond butter off the spoon.

I’ve been putting off doing a cleanse FOREVER and once I had Cooper I thought there was NO WAY I could be a mom and cleanse because it just didn’t seem possible! How the heck would I manage? Where would I get the energy to chase around an active toddler? I seriously NEED to eat and drink coffee in order to function.
