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 >

Sometimes Kyle has lunch meetings and sometimes he’s home for breakfast so what I pack for him varies. I just ask him about his schedule the night before and what meals he wants. Last week I made a bunch of breakfast burritos for Kyle. I assembled them and rolled them up in foil all at once so I could just throw them in his lunch box the night before. So easy. I am seriously sorry about the photos, but there’s only so much you can do with an iphone at 9 pm. For the… 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 >

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 >

Everyone says the holidays are so much better through a child’s eyes but it’s absolutely true. I feel so cliché, but my first Christmas as a mom was just about the best one I’ve ever had. The other cliché about kids enjoying the wrapping more than the actual present is also 100% accurate. Tissue paper > anything and everything. Last weekend, Kyle and I celebrated our own holiday with just the three of us here in Davis on Sunday. Santa came and filled our stockings and we exchanged our gifts to each other. … Read more >
