Hello sunshine! First things first, I went on a run with my bundled up babe. Ok, not first things first. I nursed him before anything else. Anyway, it wasn’t that cold out but I still made him super cozy. As a treat, I hit up Starbucks mid-jog. Took it home in my travel mug so it was still hot post-shower. Aside from the decaf joe, we had the same thing for breakfast. Scrambled eggs with a pumpkin coconut flour muffin. And blueberries. Always blueberries for the little man. After we played around, I put him… Read more >

From Davis, it’s not too long of a car ride to Lake Tahoe! And since we left straight from swim lessons (again!), we had a sleepy babe for 80% of the ride. Once we got to the cabin, it was time to relax. 🙂 Ok, first unpack, then relax. Food much? You’d think we were packing to feed an army for a month. But it was really just Thursday through Sunday (celebrating an early Christmas with Kyle’s side of the family). Guess what’s in those plastic boxes!?! SIX (!!) different kinds of… Read more >

Can I just show all the yummy things I’ve been stuffing my face with lately in one quick post? Life before Thanksgiving did exist. The last of the pumpkin cornbread muffins with eggs. And yet another savory breakfast. The to-go cup is because I was heading to MOPS after and wanted to be able to continue my decaf fueling there. We made pies! I actually can’t take any credit for this because I was holding P the whole time and another mom did 99% of the work for me. He had a meltdown… 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 >

Tomatoes, chard, kale, basil, parsley, zucchini, squash, eggplant, corn, peaches, plums, berries, melon, I could go on and on… Our kitchen counter used to have a fruit basket that was adequate. But now that we’re in farm country it’s spilled out onto the counter and beyond! I love it! And for the record, we have a really big kitchen counter! [Yikes, that’s messy] What to do with all this wonderful cheap produce! Uh, freeze it? Yep, that’s my plan and I’m sticking to it. First up, pesto! I used TONSSSSS of… Read more >
