Welcome to my blog! I'm Sari, a mother of a 2 year old girl and 7 year old boy/girl twins. I started this blog 6 years ago when I started using cloth diapers. If you scroll back to the earlier posts, you can see my learning adventure with the twins, there's a lot of really helpful information if you are interested in cloth diapers. I hope that this can be a valuable source of information for other moms contemplating making the switch to cloth diapers and/or making their own diapers.

Now I'm using this as more of a general "mom blog". I'm crafty, I like to bake and I'm currently a group fitness instructor and a Beachbody coach. I may plug my own business every so often (click here!), but I will expand my topics to cover basically anything that I feel like writing about - experiences I have or products that I think deserve a review (both good and bad). If I'm getting paid or benefiting in any way then that will be mentioned in the post.

Do you have a product that you would like me to try and review? Send me an email

Adventures in Pancake Making

I never used to make my own pancakes from scratch. A couple months ago we ran out of the Trader Joe's multigrain pancake mix that I usually buy so I told my kids that sadly, we could not have pancakes. Then I thought to myself, why can't I make it? I love to bake, I'm pretty good at it, so how come it never occurred to me that I could make pancakes from scratch? I googled a recipe and was pretty happy with the result.

Today I made pancakes again, but I wanted to make it healthier since I've been really watching what I eat. I just completed the 21 Day Fix and it has inspired me to change the eating habits of not just myself, but my whole family. So I looked up the same recipe and I made some alterations. For a gluten free version of the same pancake, simply use all oatmeal flour instead of half oatmeal and half whole wheat. I'm going to try it that way next time! I made the oatmeal flour myself by blending instant oatmeal in my Vitamix. Milk can also be subbed for water, almond milk, coconut milk, etc.


Sari's Pancakes

2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup water
4 tbsp white vinegar
1 tbsp vanilla
1 tbsp ground flax seed
1 cup oatmeal flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
4 tbsp sugar (you can sub with honey, agave, maple syrup, stevia, etc.)
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp coconut oil

I started with the eggs and whisked them together, adding in the liquid ingredients first and ending with the flour last. Kids loved them and my husband said they tasted great!
