We had such awesome weather this weekend (status quo for Nor Cal, but still worth noting) so we really made the most of it. Lots of outdoor time! Friday morning started with Earth Butter-ed toast and a fried egg. <— yup, that’s a bite mark out of the toast For lunch I had a big salad with greens, quinoa, carrots, tomatoes, and peanuts with peanut soy dressing. Since I finished off the rest of the PB I just made the dressing in the jar. I broke up P and his girlfriend Sophie for… Read more >

Can you believe I made this a while ago but only just got around to trying it? I know that sounds insane but it was purely due to the move. I hated the idea of blueberries and greek yogurt going to waste, so I decided to bake with it. Transporting a couple of frozen loaves of bread is way easier than berries and yogurt individually. It may seem like I’m obnoxiously frugal cheap, but organic blueberries are not inexpensive. Plus I don’t like the idea of waste. I’m the girl that takes home the last… Read more >

Highlights only. I could never recap an entire week! Footed PJs are the cutest thing ever. Saturday morning we had an open house. Rather than subject P to a million people germing up the joint, I took him for a walk. We went to the Farmer’s Market to re-stock on spinach (this habit requires a constant influx of greens). After everyone left I came home and got ready for a BBQ with friends. We picked up some apps on the walk over (oh how I will miss these easy walks to friends houses in Santa… Read more >

For the past 6 days Kyle and I have been in the East Bay. It’s incredible having P in my hometown – and very cool/weird/surreal taking him to all the places I grew up around. He’s also gotten to meet some of my bestest friends. But I’ll back up to the trip to get here…because we were slightly apprehensive knowing we had a 6+ hour drive with a baby. We’ve conquered hour long walks no problem. Short outings are a breeze. But the I-5 is a whole other ball game – there are 35… Read more >

Is Kyle’s birthday. We are celebrating for reals later on this week with a date night (!!). My mom is going to babysit. It’s exciting. Today, though, we have been hanging out enjoying the fact that we are all three together. We’ve already gone on a nice walk and the rest of the day includes season 2 of Downton Abbey and take-out from Veggie Grill (birthday coupons = free entree, heyooo). Oh and I made cake! And frosting! Both are vegan and sugar free. I’ll post about it later. Last night I made a… Read more >
