This week was fun. Busy and not busy in perfect amounts. One thing I’ve noticed about working part time is there’s a big (HUGE) difference between 2 shifts and 3 shifts. It may not sound like it, but I feel like the time off allows me to get so much more done. And rather than fill it with errands and chores, I can actually hang out and relax and enjoy myself. It’s lovely. Here are some of the things I ate this week. Breakfasts Baked oatmeal bars with blueberries [sorry about the crappy pic]… Read more >

I have been eating the same thing (nut butter & jam) on repeat so I decided on one of my days off last week to do something special. Pancakes! These are gluten free but not vegan (I used an egg to bind them). They turned out lovely and I’m sorry to say I didn’t follow a recipe at all, nor did I write down what I did as I made the batter. Here’s what I can tell you. The flours I used were brown rice & almond. I used lucuma powder as a sweetener. And… Read more >

So…hi again! I took some time off. And it was lovely. Maybe too lovely? It made me wonder if quitting HHH was an imminent reality… My free time is so precious now. But I do love having this space to share my latest food and life stuffs… But I have a job. And a kid. And a husband. And yadda yadda. I’m triaging my life like a freakin’ ER nurse. Priority #1 is family. And as you have now noticed, the blog is definitely on the backburner. That’s how I roll. C’est la vie…. Read more >

Hey! I’m alive! Ish. This week was crazy. [Life is crazy] So many emotions. Adjusting to working again after maternity leave is one thing. Adjusting to a new hospital and orienting to the new unit environment is another. And adjusting to spending the day away from my love is yet another. All these changes require me to be flexible and cool with change, which isn’t my strong suit. I’m a creature of habit with a bit of OCD mixed in (what nurse doesn’t have OCD/Type A tendencies, tell me that). Sometimes this is a good… Read more >

Dramatic post title, huh. Even though I’ve already technically started work, it has all been fluff stuff, like HR paperwork, physical eval, etc. So this weekend was my last REAL weekend as a stay-at-home mom. It’s sad. I am trying not to think about what I’m missing while I’m away. But I do like that I can re-discover myself again outside of my mom role. I wouldn’t go back to nursing if I didn’t love it. Anyway, Friday was a pretty boring day. I dragged P to Sac with me because I had an appointment… Read more >
