This past weekend was all kinds of awesome. We hung out with new friends who I’m certain will become old friends. P got a taste of his first slip ‘n slide. I ate a vegan ice cream sandwich that blew my mind. And we got to enjoy some quality family time before Kyle went away for work. Summer is his busy season so the sporadic posting often has to do with me being a solo parent while he’s off at random solar sites. That’s a separate mexican layered bean dip for the lactose free folks… Read more >

This weekend was full of relaxing at home. Thank goodness! Last weekend I came down with mastitis and was way too ambitious for my own good. We went to a football game with a couple and their 6 month old on Saturday. And then traveled to the East Bay for a baby shower on Sunday. It was really fun, but I my suffer-in-silence-and-just-push-through-it approach completely backfired. Come Monday I felt like crap and it was just me and pacman left to our own devices. Raise your hand if you’re surprised by my stubbornness…nobody? Yeah that’s… Read more >

And just like that, my accountability went down the drain. Wah wah. Even though I spoiled my dinner with the above yog from cultive, it was so necessary. I had just finished loading my groceries into the car when I noticed my (new) iPhone was nowhere to be found. I usually keep it in the cup holder on the stroller, so I figured it either fell out when I pushed P over a bump or crack in the sidewalk…or…someone stole it. Since I live in Davis, I figured it was my fault. So I… Read more >

Turns out I eat a lot. 🙂 Ha. As if that’s a surprise. Here’s my 99% complete documented eats (second helpings noted). Breakfast: fried egg + 2 slices of chocolate cherry quickbread (half of one was eaten during the cooking process) Lunch: 3 slices of GF bread toasted and topped with avocado/egg salad + carrots + grapes + strawberries I get questions if I eat fruit (because I rarely show those little snacks) and the answer is YES! Of course! I tend to eat seasonally – so lately it’s been grapes, figs, strawberries, raspberries, and… Read more >

I’ve been aggressively snacking between meals and all the nibbles are going undocumented. This bothers me because I want to have a better handle on my eats. I get frustrated because I don’t always have time to eat well so (excuses excuses) I just grab the easiest and fastest thing and shove it down my gullet between diaper changes, laundry, and all that jazz (the joys of motherhood I guess). But I want to be accountable for what I’m putting in my body. I used to take photos of everything I ate and that not… Read more >
