Still no word from Instant Pot. But life has to move on, so here’s Thursday’s breakfast. You already know what this is. Before that though, I did a work out. While the kids watched on (and participated a bit?).  Kyle was gone and V had a ROUGH night, so I brought her into the bed with me thinking that would help her sleep.  And hooray! It did.  Help HER.  Me?  not so much.  She took over the entire bed.  I was up all night trying to gingerly move her from her horizontal position across both… Read more >

Ok, let me just cut to the chase.  I have a support ticket out on my instant pot.  It’s broken.  F&^%, right?!?!?!  Blah.

I added wild rice to it for dinner and plugged it in a it just started beeping at me.  I referenced the manual and then went online and that’s when I realized it was probably not coming back.  I could have cried right… Read more >

NOURISH BREYAHHD. The kids were too sick for school so we kept to ourselves.  I was super bummed because it meant I missed out on my MOPS moms group… Read more >

We got up bright and early (again! yay!!) thanks to the awkward sleeping arrangements at my parents’ house and my kids’ colds.  But that meant I had time to work out before saying bye to the littles and setting off to Mendocino with my main squeeze.  🙂 Starbucks in hand and whatever music we wanted…wooohoooo. On the way up we saw quite a bit of devastation in Sonoma county, but not as much as I know there is in total. First stop was in Geyserville at the Geyserville Grille for brunch (we had a reservation… Read more >
