Every once in a while there are certain weekends which seem to have everything happening. All on the same day. You know those weekends, right? Where you have plans to do one thing and then you find out there’s four weddings, a baby shower, a football game, a marathon, the Art & Wine Festival, and all the other things going on…this past weekend was one of those. So is October 12th. Why is everything happening on Oct 12th? Anyway, I switched my Saturday shift to allow me to attend two birthday parties. The first was… Read more >

I’ve been aggressively snacking between meals and all the nibbles are going undocumented. This bothers me because I want to have a better handle on my eats. I get frustrated because I don’t always have time to eat well so (excuses excuses) I just grab the easiest and fastest thing and shove it down my gullet between diaper changes, laundry, and all that jazz (the joys of motherhood I guess). But I want to be accountable for what I’m putting in my body. I used to take photos of everything I ate and that not… Read more >

Parties all around this weekend! And lots of driving to get to them all! This was the only thing I took a picture of on Thursday. Clearly it was the highlight of my eating day (the highlight in the non-food realm was Peyton Manning scoring a million points for my fantasy team). Dove dark chocolate is crazy good. My mom gave us two bars as a part of a wedding anniversary present and I had been saving them…for what I don’t know. I wasn’t expecting to love it as much as I did though. … Read more >

Kyle and his friends (who all grew up together in Chico) always say “woooo!” after anyone mentions Chico, so it’s become a habit for me too. So that’s what the post title is about. I’ve written about Chico visits before, and we usually got to the same spots, so I won’t elaborate too much on the food. Friday night I had my fantasy draft and Kyle went to poker night. In spite of my half assed research, I came out with a decent team (I hope?) but it was very stressful…hence the chocolate wrappers. … Read more >

I realize this post is hardly timely. We didn’t get back from the city until Monday evening and then I worked two nights in a row though…sooo…what can you do? Truthfully, my weekend recaps are my own selfish way of documenting our memories forever and ever. If others enjoy them, great! So let’s back track to Saturday. I was recovering from a few night shifts so we kept the day mellow. I ate at odd times and didn’t get close to capturing everything I ate on film. Did you know sleep deprivation can make… Read more >
