Party weekend was a big success.  I don’t know why but I get a little anxiety leading up to things like this.  Will the kids like the activities?  Will P have fun?  Will the other parents think I’m lame for being a minimalist?  Will P realize that he’s not getting any presents? Anyway.  It went great and everyone had a blast and I’m now ready to take a breather for a bit before starting on plans for my big girl. Nourish bread and almond butter to start the day off right. I froze my a$$… Read more >

Another day, another waffle. This is the last of the buckwheat waffles though, so you’ll have to wait and see what breakfast rut I go back to now…are you so excited!? 😛  It’s too cold for smoothies, so it will likely be granola.

So when we got home, it was all ready to go. They are usually each others cheer leaders, but sometimes books are more interesting than soccer. And then I topped… Read more >

I love a short work week! I don’t know why since I don’t actually work, but I just do.  It means Kyle’s home and we can do whatever we want…no agenda (we never seem to have no agenda, though…)!  I’m going to try to catch up with blogging this weekend although per usual, we over-scheduled ourselves just a bit, so we will see if I can sneak in some computer time. P was still sick on Tuesday so he skipped school and I made pancakes for everyone. I went to stroller strides and did a… Read more >

After Kyle’s parents left, we still had a holiday weekend upon us, so we brainstormed what to do on Monday and came up with the Bay Area Discovery Museum in Sausalito.  Kyle and P had been before when they had their one on one weekend, so I was eager to see everything they had done. Even though they have a SUPER allergy friendly cafe (no peanuts or tree nuts and GF/DF options aplenty) I still packed us all food to save $.  We just popped out to the car to eat lunch in the trunk….
