I know (I think?) what you’re thinking. Yellow cake? What’s the point? Chocolate is where it’s AT! I agree with you, but every once in a while you need some quality yellow cake in your life. Like on the 4th of July. Because it just feels right. Is #merica just so 2013? Since I wanted P to be able to eat some, I made it allergen friendly. As in, no wheat, gluten, dairy, nuts, or soy. The batter does contain eggs and I’m not sure if it would turn out without them but if anyone wants… Read more >

I realize it’s pretty late to be recapping last weekend but I’m going to do it anyway because (a) these are my favorite posts to read and write and (b) my sister loves feeling in the loop with the family goings-on. So. This past weekend we went to visit my parents to celebrate my mom’s birthday. I thought we were going to have to cancel because P got a GI bug last week that was annihilating him but he turned a corner on Saturday. Thank goodness. Poor baby was trying his best to be happy… 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 >

This week went by bleepin’ FAST. [Side note: I have to get my swearing in check now that P understands everything I’m saying!! Words are now real things with meaning. Talk about a reality check.] Last weekend was a snooze with that lame Super Bowl, although I did grab brunch at Cafe Bernardo with a former co-worker. I brought P (with his eggs and such in a tupperware) and he was the perfect gentleman – minimal puffs and banana bits made their way to the floor (although I always clean that stuff up at… 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 >
