<br />
They were quickly gobbled up and with a pot luck to go to, I had to make more. So we did. But added more dried fruit. They look so lovely and taste delicious. They are also no bake and so easy to make. How easy? My 3 year old helped me with every step....especially the sampling.<br />

So simple that my 3 year old can make them too.<br />

To add a fun and festive twist, you can soak the dried cherries in some brandy for some extra kick (which obviously makes it a no no for kids, but this way you can enjoy more of them yourself).<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
- Marzipan<br />
- Dried Cherries<br />
- Chocolate chips<br />
- Pink Himalayan salt<br />
<br />
Directions:<br />
1. Taking about a tablespoon of marzipan, flatten out.<br />
2. Place one dried cherry in the center and roll into a ball<br />
3. Melt chocolate in a double boiler<br />
4. Roll marzipan balls though chocolate and place on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper<br />
5. Place a piece of rock salt on top<br />
6. Put in freezer or fridge for 10-15 minutes to set<br />
<br />
This was a lot of fun to make and my 3 year old had a great time participating. She was able to do many steps on her own (minus the melting of the chocolate part).<br />

At the beginning I had a lot of difficulty with not having enough milk. These cookies saved me. I went from barely having enough to leaking milk virtually overnight.<br />
<br />
Here is what I have learned over the years as to what works best for me to increase my milk supply.<br />
1. Eating healthy fats<br />
2. Drinking lots of water<br />
3. Nursing (tells your body your baby needs more milk)<br />
4. Oats and Brewers yeast. <br />
<br />
I have relied on <a href="http://wigglesworthranch.blogspot.ca/2014/08/vegan-lactation-cookies.html" target="_blank">this recipe</a>, for these 4 years.....but have also been tweaking it.<br />
<br />
As a nursing mum, Ive come to realize my body needs more vitamins, minerals and better food in general especially if its also making food for a growing baby and toddler. So Ive played around a bit and added a few key ingredients that I found gave the lactation cookies a much needed nutritional boost.<br />
<br />
Hemp Seeds: They are high in omega 3 and 6 fats. great fiber content and amino acids. They also have lots of magnesium (great for calcium absorption) and 10 grams of protein per 3 tablespoons!<br />
<br />
Molasses: adds extra iron<br />
<br />
Nuts and Seeds: provides more of those healthy fats as well as proteins.<br />
<br />
So, here is the revised recipe. Hope you enjoy it as much as I (we) do.<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Preheat the oven to 350<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
Wet<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>3/4 cup coconut oil</li>
<li>1/2 cup water</li>
<li>1 tablespoon vanilla extract</li>
<li>4 tablespoons molasses</li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
Dry<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>1 cup brown sugar</li>
<li>2 tablespoons of flaxseed meal</li>
<li>2 cups flour</li>
<li>2 teaspoons baking soda</li>
<li>1 teaspoon salt</li>
<li>3 cups of oats</li>
<li>1/2 cup of hempseed </li>
<li>4 tablespoons of brewers yeast (you can add more to help boost your supply)</li>
<li>Nuts and seeds of your choice (you can mix them in or place them on top)</li>
</ul>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Method</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. Mix together dry ingredients</div>
<div>
3. Mix together wet ingredients and combine</div>
<div>
(You can add more water if you find it hard to work with)</div>
<div>
4. Form into balls (about 2-3 tablespoons worth)</div>
<div>
(You can also add an almond in the centre)</div>
<div>
5. Bake for around 10-15 minutes (depending on the thickness of your cookies).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Allow to cool and if you want them to last, tell family members that these lactation cookies work on everyone....otherwise you will be making these more often.</div>
<br />

<br />
<br />
Note: yes, I purposefully made these cookies look like boobies!</div>

Thats 69 in HUman years. Its surreal to think we have had the pleasure of her company for 5 of those years. She was surrendered 'pet' because her family developed allergies to her. Plus she had a nasty case of the meanies....but that was 5 years ago. And my, how Wiggles has changed.<br />
<br />
She now has a loving Husbund, Connor, a warm, safe and happy home. Family that loves her, and she gets as many (or little, it depends on her mood) pets as she little heart desires.<br />
<br />
So, naturally we had to throw her a party!<br />
<br />
She had 'cake' (lettuce, pears, carrot shavings, raspberries, banana and parsley) No, we did not lite the candle for good reason.<br />
<br />
We had streamers, balloons, a banner, even presents! Which Noodles had to show Wiggles how to open. Wiggles even ended up sharing her cake with Connor (so nice of her). She then slept the rest of the afternoon, warm, happy, with a belly full of love.<br />
<br />
Happy Birthday Wiggle bear. May your next 9 years bring you even more health, love and happiness. <br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">These are cookies, that you can eat raw (because there are no eggs in them) and are animal product free (aka no dairy) AND as a bonus, help a woman increase her milk supply when she is nursing her baby.</span><br />

Sometimes all you need in life are the above three mentioned. Or below shown. Eleanor and I had the privileged of going to the<a href="http://www.wishingwellsanctuary.org/" target="_blank"> Wishing Well Sanctuary</a> near by, which is always the highlight of our month.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We get to see rescued animals and lovely people and be with our kin. The pure joy on her face sums it all up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

We love playing in the front yard just because it has a large tree that provides the lovliest of shades. Plus the sunlight dances through its leaves creating a relaxing and oh so delectable mood. It doesnt hurt that the cute little squirrels are out too watching us.<br />
<br />
As you can see, good times were had by all. I think Wayne also tried to play with the Tonka. He is such a house rabbit tho. He kept cleaning his paws.<br />

We had three bunnies before our wonderful daughter came along. So we had to do some creative parenting to ensure that the transition was successful.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Some bunnies (Wayne) took to Eleanor as if she was his own. No, literally. This rabbit guards her at night.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The other two, well, like most rabbits, need some adjusting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What does this entail? Not leaving my daughter alone with them. Always supervising them. She means well, but can get grabby. This goes for any pet. The parent always needs to be there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Please never ever buy a 'pet' for a child. Its your responsibility as an adult to take care of these animals and ensure they dont get in harms way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Noodles means well, but she can get a little too excited. As you can see, these bunnies can bring out the fun in all of us. </div>

Because he hasn't left her side since she was born. He has always been there. Always in the same room, always close by. Letting us know when she is crying or hopping happily when she wakes.<br /><br />I never expected such a bond between these two. Goes to show you learn something every day. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One main thing rabbits and toddlers have in common is that they will eat ANYTHING off of the floor. And I do mean anything. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Being a very mess eater, Miss E. usually throws half of her breakfast, lunch and dinner on the floor. Im constantly cleaning and wiping up leftover food. (Times like these I wish I had a vegan dog). The bunnies are clearly no help. They have learned a new trick, its called "Toss of the hay feeder". Its quite amusing, especially at 4 am.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Im constantly cleaning, whether it be litter boxes or high chairs, or floors, or walls...or ceilings....But I was spending a fortune on all those 'eco friendly' cleaning products. Until that is, I discovered how to make my own.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Its so simple you will marvel at why you havent tried it before.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ready? Ok</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- Half and half of vinegar and water</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
- 10 -20 drops of a citrus essential oil (lemon, orange, grapefruit, lime, etc).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Shake before each use.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Voila. Thats it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Clean, safe and Bun/Toddler approved without breaking the bank.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Give it a go. Its really that simple :)</div>

While I was cutting her nails, I noticed a lump by her ankle. This got me worried because I trim her nails every month and I have not seen it prior.<br /><br /><br />

It didnt seem to bother her at all or affect her galloping around. In fact, she had been more active than usual. But I was worried. As you may recall, my past experiences with rabbit savvy vets have been dismal at best. But thankfully I found a vet though a Rabbit Fair. So, Wiggles, Connor, Eleanor and I made the long trek (hour drive) to the heart of downtown Toronto to get Wiggles checked out.<br /><br />The vet was really reassuring and helped put our minds at ease. (Its not always cancer) but she would need surgery to have it removed. Being 8 years old, Wiggles is an octogenarian. The vet and more so I, was worried that she may not be strong enough to make it though. I made a deal with them that as soon as she was out of surgery to call me so I could pick her up. I know my rabbits, I know what they want and need. Wiggles, always wants food. And the company of Connor (hence his presence on this trip).<br /><br />The issue of the bill came about. At the time I was working part time, barely making ends meet but I honestly did not care. Wiggles is my baby, she is in need of this, so regardless of the cost, I was going to do everything to make sure she would be ok. I told the vet this too. I'm not made of money, but when it comes to my babies, money is no objection.<br /><br />The surgery was scheduled for a week later. I was nervous but always had hope.<br />I brought my Wiggle Bear to the vet first thing in the morning. Armed with a bunch of fresh dandelions, blueberries, hay, water, bunny kibble, soft blankies, a stuffed toy that had some of Connor's fur on it, and the best bunny carrier money can buy, I left my baby in their strong capable hands. I left one and only ONE clear instruction.<br /><br />SIDEBAR: reading this blog you may have noticed that Wiggles LOVES food. I mean she LOVES it. She is not like any other bunny that runs to food, she BOLTS with lightning speed regardless of what you are doing. She has always had a healthy and happy appetite.<br /><br />My only request was to ensure that she had food available to her at all times. Hence the offering of fresh fruit and veggie.<br /><br />I watched the clock all day. Called and left messages. Wiggles made it though surgery but was still not fully out of it. I waited a bit more...and more...till 6PM rolled around. Now I was getting antsy. I did not want her to stay overnight. She is in an unfamiliar place, not with her family, she needs to feel safe to begin to heal and recover. I went with Eleanor in tow, to get Wiggles. They were reluctant to let her leave since they said she had not eaten anything. When I asked if they had given her any of the food I bought they said no. :/<br /><br /><br />Naturally no bunny likes the taste of Critical Care. Even Wiggles will protest. As soon as I was able to see her, I offered her dandelion leaves and with as much enthusiasm as a poor frail bunny who had just come out of a long surgery day and a doggy barking vet hospital could muster, she chowed it down with glee.<br /><br />Lesson: A bunny momma knows best :)<br /><br />The best part of all of this was that her lump was not cancerous (Yes, I spent the extra $200 to get it tested to make sure)<br /><br />Wiggles is back to her usual self. Thankfully.</div>

<br /><br />Wiggles had a hard life before joining our family.<br />She still has an aggressive streak when she things she is being threatened but those episodes have decreased with time significantly.<br /><br />She still eagerly awaits her morning banana. She will follow you and grunt if you dont pet her long enough. She adores her bun-husband Connor. And striking most of all, despite her sometimes still aggressive nature to us and even Connor, she has never grunted, scratched at, or even shown anything less than love towards Eleanor.<br /><br />We often don't give animals enough credit for their intelligence.<br /><br />I'm so glad Wiggles is OK :)<br />May she live another 8 years in love, health and happiness.</div>

<br />
To catch up, we had another wee one enter our household. This time not so fury.<br />
Eleanor Mable Elliott chose us as her parents in this world and we couldn't be more than delighted to say the least.<br />
<br />
The bunnies are getting used to her. Wayne in particular.<br />
<br />
But there is so much to tell.<br />
She is wonderful. She is awe inspiring. I cant express the words.<br />
<br />
But I wanted an updated, just for myself. Just to let it begin. My little one. My little bunny. The little bunny I was told I couldnt have.<br />
<br />
So please bear with me while I get accustomed to motherhood and post all things Eleanor and how she bonds with buns related.<br />
<br />
Just a wee preview of our journey. What a crazy whirlwind it has been.<br />
<br />

Same problem as last time. We suspected GI stasis right away. He stopped eating and stopped pooping.<br />
This time we couldnt take him to the vet because they no longer accept rabbits since that vet left the hospital. So we had to do it ourselves.<br />
<br />
It was quite bad this time. We found him after being gone for the day huddled in a cardboard play box siting in his urine. I thought he would die that night.<br />
<br />
Its been two very long weeks since that night and I can say he is doing a lot better.<br />
<br />
So, what happened?<br />
<br />
Well, hubby was doing basement renos, noise and changes in environment. Then I took him to work on Thursday so he wouldn't hear too much noise from the construction. Friday he seemed off, but still somewhat chipper. He was shedding and sometimes rabbits can get a bit on the quiet side during that time.<br />
We had gone to a family reunion the Saturday and that night when we came back, well, Wayne wasn't ok. He was sitting in his own urine and had not pooped in two days.<br />
<br />
We began immediately feeding him critical care, keeping him warm and massaging his belly and feeding him water though a syringe.<br />
<br />
I read as much as I could about his condition. Ironically all information said to bring him to the vet. This was not an option. I could not take him on an hour ride to the nearest vet that did 'casual' rabbit care. I didnt think he would survive.<br />
<br />
All signs pointed to GI stasis again. No poops, he was not interested in food...but he was peeing a lot. And I mean a lot.<br />
I didnt think he would make it through the night and I wept as I tucked him in for his rest.<br />
<br />
I searched for info on kidney stones and found out he may have urine sludge from too much calcium in his diet. We do give the bunnies Kale...and that ironically has the most calcium. So we cut that out immediately. Our water is also high in minerals, so I got bottled for him.<br />
<br />
It took days of 3-4 hour feedings, for him to get some energy back. We knew he was not himself still because he could barely protest the critical care.<br />
I started having to mix in some apple pure because I could imagine how much he likely hated the taste.<br />
<br />
He slowly started eating on his own on the 3rd day, but still very very little. And it was carrot tops, only carrot tops, like the last time. At least it was a sign he was getting better.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
His stomach started making awful gurgling noises so we kept massaging his belly, which he didnt mind at all. He slowly started to drink on his own too.<br />
<br />
The poops that he finally passed were very very hard and some had mucus on them....graphic pictures will be posted with a warning further down.<br />

He started getting more energy and protesting the feedings, all great signs. </div>

<br /><div style="text-align: left;">
His poops were getting a lot better and bigger and more frequent. He began to play, shake his head and tear up newspapers. All great signs.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We stopped force feeding him because he was eating more on his own and it also helped his moral not to be force fed.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Right now two weeks after it happened, he is doing a lot better. Still not 100% but I say very close. He now wants to play at night rather than sit between us and rest. His stomach is no longer making awful noises and there is no more mucus in his poops. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
He is eating on his own and has now permanently moved his headquarters into our room. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Its a lot nicer to have everyone on the same floor. Plus I can keep a very close eye on him.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Is is not out of the woods yet but he has come a long way and has been a real trooper.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What have I learned in all of this?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<ul>
<li>Rabbits need patience, a safe place and lots of love (I already knew this before but it just reaffirmed it)</li>
<li>Never give up on a bunny. They have a lot of fight in them. </li>
<li>Sometimes taking a sick rabbit to the vet is not in his best interests. </li>
<ul>
<li>We could have taken him but that would have done no good, especially taking into consideration what happened during our last visit. Sometimes pushing antibiotics down a poor animals throat is not in his best interests. Yes this was a HUGE gamble, but I feared he would die on the way to the vet or during his stay there.</li>
</ul>
<li>Mending takes time. Lots of time. </li>
<li>Providing a safe and comforting place for a rabbit to heal is as critical as giving him the care he needs</li>
<li>Grooming shows you care about the bun. I honestly think bunnies can get depressed, and no there is not a lot of literature out there about this. Yes, there are topics about grief and loss but not about depression stemming from other causes.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Im so glad he is better, but I know that he is easily susceptible to environmental changes and he needs a lot more attention. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Last words of advice; you know your bun and trust your instincts. When you suspect something is wrong, don't ignore it.</div>

Connor loves to sleep in the closet. Its dark, quiet and a safe place to slumber.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One afternoon my hubby heard some rumblings and went to check on the buns. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Turns out, Connor had found his way into a bag of hay in the closet and proceeded to take out the strap that holds the packs together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Apparently he was at it for some time before he could get it out of the bag.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once complete he was quite proud of his accomplishments and went on his merry way.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Who knew a piece of plastic could be so much fun.</div>

I took this picture this morning while letting Connor run outside in the back garden.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just love how the sunlight picked up his whiskers at such an electric colour. </div>

He soon retreated to my lap, then as close as possible to my face and began to grind his teeth in dislike, he wanted back in the house. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Some mornings he will romp around, others, not so much.</div>

The buns are often fast asleep by 11AM. Whether they chose under the bed, like Mr.Connor always likes, or in a Mooii like Wiggles, or somewhere dark like Wayner, they all settle in for a long sleep till around 7PM. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well, I figured they would get hungry during their hibernation, so I sliced up a banana, an everloved treat by all buns, and offered up as a 'midnight' snack, so to speak.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Connor got to it first and he munched on one quite happily till Wiggles realized there were bananas to be had so she tanked her way into the scene. Connor, pictured below, had to seek refuge in a cardboard box on the bed. </div>

Not by my choice rather for his safety. I still have not been able to bond Connor and Wayne. Both neutered males but for some reason cant get along. That is Connor does not tolerate him. So he lives in the basement, the entire domain is his.<br />
We feel guilty because he is alone there most of the time, especially the days my husband and I both work in the office. The other two have each other, Wayne...well, he has his forts.<br />
<br />
But luckily most of the time, 3-4 days a week my hubby not only works from home, but in the basement with Wayne. Even during his afternoon naps, my beloved husband will bring his laptop down there and work in the shabby basement of ours that is undergoing renovations....rabbit proof renovations that is.<br />
<br />
They get along quite well and I do enjoy the pictures he send me throughout the day.<br />
<br />
A funny thing he mentioned to me just yesterday that I had to share.<br />
He will sometimes lay beside Wayne petting him or just beside him for company. Well, rabbit instinct kick in and those moments when my hubby lays down, Wayne keeps a lookout! Thats right. Our little Wayne has bonded with my hubby so much that he is looking out for predators or any other harm that may befall my husband while he is laying down on the floor! Well, its only right since my hubby does the same when Wayne is resting...that is he sits on the floor with his laptop working.<br />
<br />
I just thought this was the cutest thing. He not only plays chase and hide and seek with him, but when he finds a new hiding spot, he coys my husband over to come and see!<br />
<br />
Wayne is such a smart bunny and I love that he and my hubby have developed such a deep bond.<br />
<br />
These pictures below are a collection that my husband had sent me thought his days in the basement with Wayne while I am away at work. I love the updates because they really cheer up my day.<br />

Connor is quite a complex little rabbit. One of the shyest I have ever met yet when it comes to certain things, like defending his woman Wiggles, he becomes ferocious.<br />
<br />
But that is beside the point, this post is supposed be about Mr. Connor taking a walk outside.<br />
<br />
He has been really shy and scared especially of the dogs. He would not leave my side, as evident in some previous posts. However today, look at him go. He was running, digging and playing all over the back yard!<br />

When I heard my sister in law was pregnant again I decided to expand my knitting skills from scarf and hat to include baby sweater. Luckily my local knitting gathering place (Lettuce Knit) had classes just for that. So naturally I joined. </div>

After many MANY months and several attempts and re-attempts I had a finished product. However my niece just turned one a month ago and no longer fits into a newborn baby sweater. Thats right, it had taken me a year and a half to knit the bloody thing. And you can still tell its not perfect because the arms are too short and there is a wonky line near the bottom. (I purled rather than stitched for a couple of rows but there was NO WAY I was gonna redo it at this point)</div>

Hence why Mrs. Wiggles is wearing the sweater. </div>

I only have about 300 more to do so at my rate it should be ready when I retire in 70 years. </div>
