The Best-Ever Rhubarb Muffins

It’s finally rhubarb season! It brings joy to our hearts when the pinkish-green stalks appear at the farmer’s market (or in your garden, if you’re lucky!). But rhubarb can be an acquired taste. Its famous tartness often needs a little sweetness to balance it out. Enter our favourite rhubarb muffin recipe: It’s super easy, and the streusel topping is not to be missed.

What If I Don’t Like Being Pregnant?

As far as we’re concerned, we should all be a little more candid about pregnancy. It’s hard. Even when you have a straightforward, no-complications experience, it’s a major physical feat. From nausea and swelling, to fatigue and aches and pains, it’s not exactly a picnic.

So, guess what? If you didn’t like being pregnant, or you’re struggling now, that’s okay. You don’t need to feel guilty or hide your feelings. You can be grateful and excited to be growing your family, but also tired of feeling sick and exhausted. Both things can be true.
