Watermelon and Strawberry Agua Fresca
I’m currently in the process of weaning Elara from breastfeeding. It’s so easy they said, you’ll love the freedom they say. Well, it turns out when you’re weaning, your hormones go crazy and it’s almost like you’re pregnant again. The intense thirst and crazy cravings hit me hard! I can’t get enough water.
