Swim lessons always wear P out so I timed the 50 minute drive to my parents’ house accordingly. We left straight from the pool in Davis and patty-cakes slept the ENTIRE drive (!!!). He hates car rides nowadays so this was huge. I even took advantage of the drive thru Starbucks in Dixon. 🙂 After hanging out with my mom for a bit I made some lunch with leftovers in their fridge. My sister came over later and then I picked Kyle up from the Lafayette BART station and we got things going for dinner…. Read more >

I’m not Jewish so I’m not promising this will be anything close to authentic, but it uses potatoes and resembles a pancake, so hey! Latkes! Truth be told they tasted a lot like tortilla espanola. Okay now here’s the thing. This is not a real recipe because I didn’t measure anything. But I wanted to share the rough amounts and ingredients because it seems like it’d be forgiving if you wanted to try to replicate what I am showing you. And it was tasty! Does anyone even still have leftover mashed potatoes? … Read more >

There was a lot of food in the house on Thursday. And the Wednesday before. Actually, the Tuesday before too! We set off for my parents’ house after I got my hair cut (finally!!!) on Tuesday evening, so by the time we got there P’s bed time had come and gone and he was not thrilled in the least. Fussy pants was quickly soothed by the heaps of attention he received once more relatives arrived. Family! The house was jam packed with people, so the 3 of us shared a room which meant sneaking in… Read more >

It’s that time of year!! Family visiting. Fires roaring. And work is getting slow (enough) because it’s the holidays so everyone can get together. We were in Chico this past weekend for a wedding, a 1st birthday, and a new baby visit. So many happy things to bring us all together!! We arrived in town on Friday evening and only swung by the hotel for a hot second to drop off our bags (I stayed in the car because P was asleep in the car seat). Immediately after we went to see Billy &… Read more >

I’m so behind in posting!! Indulge me as I recap last weekend… Thursday night we got a surprise visit from Kyle’s dad. He was passing through Davis so he spent the night at our place. He arrived during patty-cake’s dinner time. More peas for P, please! After we all played for a while, it was bedtime for the little guy. We had called in a take-out order from Mermaid sushi earlier, so the boys went to pick it up while I nursed P to sleep. Yes, that’s a sushi order for 3. 🙂 Love the… Read more >
