Baby (food) post coming ‘atcha. If you have no interest, just close the browser. Here are a few new tricks and trials I have to share… -I’ve discovered a way to make apples (and hard/unripe pears) the perfect consistency for P to eat without the work of cooking them. I just chop the fruit and freeze it (raw). Once it’s been frozen for at least a day, I thaw it and voila! It’s soft and semi-mushy and I can feed it to him straight away. I have frozen fruit for two months and it still… Read more >

Mama’s little helper. The addition of shoes to the wardrobe has transformed him into a little boy. He’s non-stop exploring. Still not walking, but he’s perfected his cruising skills, so it’s only a matter if time (days). Green toys. And now the word tractor is a part of his vocab. Davis appropriate. Inspired by Vintage Mixer’s kale coconut & chicken salad I made this guy for lunch. I have been struuuuuggling with lunches lately. I don’t know what to eat without soy or nuts or hummus. I’ve been trying to limit meat to… Read more >

Round 2! Actually, if you count the Thanksmas we had in Tahoe earlier in December with Kyle’s family, this is really our third Christmas. No such thing as too much celebrating, right?! Especially when it’s baby’s first Christmas. We got to my parents’ house just in time for a few cookies. Which provided the perfect fuel for the Niners’ game. My little cheerleader fell asleep on my shoulder during the game so I wasn’t much help in preparing dinner. After we put him down we had a mini facetime sesh with my sis… Read more >

There was a lot of food in the house on Thursday. And the Wednesday before. Actually, the Tuesday before too! We set off for my parents’ house after I got my hair cut (finally!!!) on Tuesday evening, so by the time we got there P’s bed time had come and gone and he was not thrilled in the least. Fussy pants was quickly soothed by the heaps of attention he received once more relatives arrived. Family! The house was jam packed with people, so the 3 of us shared a room which meant sneaking in… Read more >

Can I just show all the yummy things I’ve been stuffing my face with lately in one quick post? Life before Thanksgiving did exist. The last of the pumpkin cornbread muffins with eggs. And yet another savory breakfast. The to-go cup is because I was heading to MOPS after and wanted to be able to continue my decaf fueling there. We made pies! I actually can’t take any credit for this because I was holding P the whole time and another mom did 99% of the work for me. He had a meltdown… Read more >
