Wednesday morning was pretty much the same – family walk to the store to get eggs and bananas, then we cooked and played with P until his morning nap. We tried to hit up Bird and Bear Boathouse for lunch (a place that I read several great reviews about) but once we got there we found out they weren’t serving food, just coffee and cookies. It looked like a great place to sip coffee with pretty views but we needed more than cookies to tide us over. It was a hike getting there from Double… Read more >

We ran out of eggs before the end of the week but I refuse to ruin the budget by going to the store. I gave P the last two, scrambled with spinach, just like he likes them. Luckily I had one hard boiled egg left for me. I layered the slices atop avocado toast. We both had blueberries on the side. P had an entire zucchini muffin (cut into small bite sized pieces) with his eggs and blueberries. I used the same recipe as I did here only I bumped up the coconut aminos to… Read more >

Here’s the real indicator that I’m type A…I literally clean the blender parts and put them away before I drink my smoothie. Even when I’m a crazy hangrypants.

But I definitely do it every. single. time. I make a smoothie. Other dishes, not so much. I’ll wait til after I eat breakfast to clean the frying pan (usually because I… 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 >

In order for all my tasks to stay straight in my head, they have to be written on paper. With check boxes. Because otherwise my mind will never ever shut off. I will literally lie awake at night going over all the things on my to-do list… So I have this. OCD? Yes. But oh so helpful too. For the birthday party, it kept me right on track, and guess what? The hour leading up to our guests’ arrival was completely stress free. I had nothing to do because I had already done everything!… Read more >
