Day 15: The art of compromise

We've made it half-way! Woo hoo! That said, my husband informed me last night that he was "over it." I am not over it, but maybe that's because I'm a bit more stubborn than him. Anyway, after some discussion and some thought, we've reached a compromise. We are going to complete the Whole30, but we are going to bring back alcohol. (Twist my arm, why don't you?) We are both missing our nightly wind-down drink, and at the end of a day of running around after two under three, who is going to blame us?

I also compromised a tiny bit with the kiddos. Tomorrow we are celebrating their birthdays - Tucker will be 3 next week and Sawyer just turned one. While I have planned a Whole30 compliant meal, the dessert will include one "cheat" ingredient. It's impossible to find a baked good that both my boys can eat (no wheat, eggs or dairy), so I decided to go with cups of fresh strawberries topped with paleo whipped cream (made with coconut milk). I whipped up the cream today to test it out, and added a little honey for sweetness. It was delicious! We all enjoyed a little sneak-preview taste of it. And, because every kid should have a memory like this, I let Tuck lick the whisk.
