Kyle’s been taking day trips away for business, which leaves me and P home alone together. I realize this is how most new moms function after their spouse’s paternity leave ends (if they even get any!), but for me it’s a whole new learning curve. Fortunately, my little guy is making leaps and bounds each and every day, so I can utilize the crib in the nursery (and video monitor) and boppy pillow (which neither of us were ready for during his first month of life). His neck is getting really strong and he’s… Read more >

I almost titled this post Easter “hop”penings. Too cheesy? I agree. Every once in a while I’m able to deny the puns (sorry dad). The night before Easter Sunday we had some family visitors come over to see P…and bring us dinner! Salad bar 🙂 Mine was a little like a nicoise salad with green beans, red potatoes, eggs, and a vinaigrette dressing (Girard’s light champagne), but it also had chickpeas, beets, and cucumbers as well. Best part of all was that I didn’t have to do any of the prep! I set the table… Read more >

I made a major mistake and didn’t say decaf when I ordered this (venti soy misto) before we hit the road to come home from NorCal. I was very perky! I hope P didn’t get as high as I did off the caffeine! Oops!! The rest of the road trip was similar to the first one – Kyle and I traded off driving duties and our little man slept 99% of the time. I packed up our eats again. Similar as always. Brown rice, half an avocado, & two hard boiled eggs with a nooch… Read more >

As I alluded in the last post, we had a road trip planned for the next day in Nor Cal. Boy oh boy are we pushing our luck with all these long car rides with an infant! But this is what he does most of the time so we are really lucky (so far). Fingers crossed. I packed lots of food for us so we could hit the road early (basically right after we had both showered and I’d breastfed P). Kyle and I both had similar breakfasts, but his was sandwiched between some… Read more >

For the first time since we arrived in Nor Cal, Kyle was able to sleep in spend the day with me (and not working). Sleeping in is a thing of the past. I made Kyle breakfast first while he got in some baby time. He misses P so much when he’s gone. That toast I made him is Semifreddi’s sour batard. One of the best breads in the Bay Area in my opinion. My breakfast was later because I was working on my dandy tea (still no GI upset with it, so that’s good). In… Read more >
