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. blue monkey coconut chips I got these as a freebie for some educational event I went to, but I know they are sold at Whole Foods as well as mainstream grocers (check the “ethnic foods” aisle). I really loved them and although they were sweetened, I’d buy them again. I used them as… Read more >

Here are some products I’ve tried lately (or over the last few months…). 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 brands. These are simply my honest opinions. 1. Nama-Age deep fried tofu. I thought deep fried anything would be good, but this didn’t have any flavor. Bland. Lame. I wouldn’t buy again. 2. Puro Coffee. It’s organic and fairtrade and I have liked all the blends I’ve tried (and I’m picky about my java!). I think… Read more >

This is a small snack. The “before” photo is so clean. Let me tell you, persimmons make one hell of an “after” photo. Like a blood bath! Naps are complicated. When they happen, I’m on cloud 9. Lunch in peace and quiet. That’s nearly a whole bag of TJ’s lacinato kale by the way. Tossed with quinoa and coated in creamy broccoli soup. We put up our tree and hung our stockings. P loves all of it. He says “de” and points to all the things. He wants to communicate so badly. I… 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 >

Trrrrrrrrouble. [Don’t be deceived by this photo, he’s not crawling. At. All. He rolls to get everywhere. He’s surprisingly mobile for only using rolling as a means of travel. I’m sure I’ll be swallowing my words later but it would be nice if he showed some signs of crawling. Like maybe contact with the ground. On the other hand, he’s basically ready to walk since he holds himself up using the coffee table or wall as support…hmmm…tummy time to standing? Kids are confusing.] On Thursday my parents came to Davis to visit for a few… Read more >
