Here’s a dirty little secret. I cover up one corner of toast in 99% of my photos because they have one bite taken out of them already. I don’t know why, but I always take a bite out of the bread before I put it in the toaster. What can I say…I’m special. Or I lack patience. Either way it doesn’t make for a nice photo, so I always manage to cover it up with another piece of food or crop it out of the photo entirely. My first breakfast is above (GF toast with… Read more >

May already! The time flying by is even more noticeable now that I have a kiddo who gets bigger by the day second. Most of his weight is going to his cheeks, which I love love love. Oh, hey, I can grab rings, no biggie. This week was a busy one for us as we were out of town all last weekend. Lots of things to still get straightened away in setting up our house. Ugh! Moving takes forever. Also, Kyle left mid-week for a bachelor party (yes, the festivities began on Wednesday). So we… Read more >

Here are some products I’ve tried lately. Some were bad, some were okay, some were good, and some were awesome. So I figured I’d share. I have no affiliation with any of these companies. These are simply my honest opinions. 1. Tazo vanilla rooibos parfait (from Starbucks) Because I like my tea really (almond) milky, I’m always on the lookout for new decaf varieties that aren’t fruity and don’t have mint or chamomile in them (the two herbal flavors I am not a fan of). It’s surprisingly hard to find. And lately fennel is… Read more >

I’ll make this brief since this is what I’m up against… Hippie tip #1: Buy and sell (or give away) used moving boxes on craigslist before and after you move. Earth friendly and cheap. Here we are in our (old) backyard with a passed out babe and movers schlepping patio furniture. P was clearly not stressed out by the packing process. On the contrary, he slept probably 30 of the 36 hours that we were transitioning from one home to the next. He just looooves being held, and since we had no furniture… Read more >

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 >
