Trrrrrrrrouble. [Don’t be deceived by this photo, he’s not crawling. At. All. He rolls to get everywhere. He’s surprisingly mobile for only using rolling as a means of travel. I’m sure I’ll be swallowing my words later but it would be nice if he showed some signs of crawling. Like maybe contact with the ground. On the other hand, he’s basically ready to walk since he holds himself up using the coffee table or wall as support…hmmm…tummy time to standing? Kids are confusing.] On Thursday my parents came to Davis to visit for a few… Read more >

And just like that, my accountability went down the drain. Wah wah. Even though I spoiled my dinner with the above yog from cultive, it was so necessary. I had just finished loading my groceries into the car when I noticed my (new) iPhone was nowhere to be found. I usually keep it in the cup holder on the stroller, so I figured it either fell out when I pushed P over a bump or crack in the sidewalk…or…someone stole it. Since I live in Davis, I figured it was my fault. So I… Read more >

What an amazing weekend. Not just because I got showered with love. With or without Mother’s Day, this past Saturday and Sunday were just plain awesome. Kyle was down in LA on Friday for a conference, so I was solo parenting again. I broke the fast with a bowl of overnight oats. Man, it’s been a while since I made these! I basically just added boiling water to some oats the night before, along with a few big spoons of peanut butter. Then I stirred it all up and left it in the fridge so… Read more >

This isn’t the first time I’ve made a grain free granola (aka no-grain-nola). You can see the non recipe for that one here. [Side note: I should really re-make that and measure things for you guys because it was good!] Anyway, this was another winner. I swear I’m going through granola by the pound. Daily. I made this mostly because I had a jar of pumpkin butter in the fridge that needed to get consumed before we made the trip up to Davis. Who has this pumpkin butter? It’s from Trader Joe’s and as… Read more >

You know what my LEAST favorite part about blogging is? Thinking of post titles. Seriously, I am depleted. After 4+ or whatever years it seems like there’s nothing left. So I always wait ‘til the end and then I sit there, waiting to hit publish, while I stare at “enter a post title” on the top of the page. Most of the time I go one of two routes – either super cheesy (like really lame puns) or super boring (like the name of a recipe). It’s a miracle if it’s remotely clever. But hopefully… Read more >
