    Tortoise, I love your cake!! Is your icing and cake gluten free? If so, did you make them from scratch, or buy a mix? We are going gfcf, and I make my kids cakes also. I'm still trying to decide on making my own, or buying the mixes. I think eventually, I will make my own from...

    A female issue - advice? (update)

    How bout "juggly hippie"? :lol: One thing I DO know, is that you are supposed to avoid Mint, Sage, Thyme, and Oregano when you are breastfeeding because they all decrease milk production. There are a few others as well I think...but I figure if you run into this problem again, and don't have...
