I have a weakness for ice cream that reaches its peak in the summertime, but the ice cream itself is only the half of it: I am a sucker for great toppings. Even as an adult, I insist on chocolate sprinkles when I visit my local ice cream shop because I am convinced they make the ice cream better.

I wasn’t always a baby-wearer. With my daughter, my first baby, I had the luxury of time — I could hold and soothe her as much as she needed, and it didn’t matter much if my husband and I ate dinner at midnight after she was asleep.

Just a few years later, I brought home a new baby boy and was slightly overwhelmed by the jump from one to two children. Quickly I had to figure out how to meet the needs of my 3-year-old daughter, who expected to eat dinner at a decent hour, and still take care of my newborn son.

You know how really good chocolate chip cookies boast chips in every bite? Well, the same goes for the berries in blueberry muffins. Every time I set out to make them, I start with one mission in mind: maximize the berries in every way possible.
