This is an attempt at a “what I ate” full day of food. I think I got everything. Cantaloupe. With this, I get credit for vitamin C, vitamin E, riboflavin, folic acid, & B vitamins…it satisfies both a fruit and leafy green requirement as per What To Expect. Efficiency in my nutrition – I like it! For breakfast we were out of iced tea AND eggs. Basically a mini disaster. I made decaf tea in as little water as possible and cooled it down to room temp with a ton of almond milk. It… Read more >

Day shift food, including oatmeal, lasagna (two servings), apple, carrots & hummus, and a cinnamon roll. Details below. Pumpkin and raisin oats made with vanilla almond milk. I’m officially good and ready for fall. Lasagna that’s bigger than my head. I had half at lunch time and half an hour later. Snack options. I got home around the same time as Kyle and we each dug into the quinoa quiche I made earlier in the week (meal planning still going strong). I cut it into quarters because I figured it was pretty likely we would… Read more >

As I previously mentioned, Kyle and I were in Nor Cal (Elk Grove) for a family reunion this past weekend. It was for Kyle’s mom’s side of the family…and over 50 people (!!!) made the trek. Part of the reason I had been waiting to share my pregnancy on the blog was because we wanted to tell people in person at this reunion…and you know how once things leak online they make their way to facebook two seconds later and then the whole world knows (not that that’s a bad thing, we just wanted to… Read more >

This weekend Kyle and I flew/drove to Lake Almanor for a couples getaway. Our friends have a baby on the way, so we were celebrating that – but instead of a girly shower with cheesy games we relaxed, drank and enjoyed our peaceful vacation with friends. The hosts own an amazing cabin that I couldn’t even being to describe. Not only does it have tons of bedrooms, a TV den and game room, a huge living room with an equally huge outside deck, a bocce ball court, horseshoe and corn hole set ups, and… Read more >

I know I said I was heading out of town this weekend (I am), but I had to pop in to tell you two very awesome things. I have a new niece! Scarlett Alice was born in the wee early hours Friday morning. Isn’t she precious. :) I love her to pieces already. The second is considerably less thrilling to everyone else, but I was pleased nonetheless. This is my happy face after getting a call saying the unit was overstaffed for the night and I could have a holiday. Wee!! I was… Read more >
