I forgot to post this back on Saturday, but when I was making the “candy bars” for my cookie exchange I used up the last of the raw cashews to make creamer. I was already in prep mode and the cashews were out…so why not. And now my coffee has been a little extra special this week. Also, apparently I’m just spending $9 on a loaf of bread now, and that’s the situation. I will say, it lasts me a really really long time – almost a month (!!) – so I guess that makes… Read more >
I don’t know why I didn’t think of this sooner. Still learning about all this dosing business. Individual cheese seems like such a novelty, but it’s way easier to make sure he’s getting the correct grams of protein if it’s measured out ahead of time. These have 5 g which is more than he needs, but you can go over as much as you want in maintenance. So 5 gram it is! And he loves it. Unlike the 1/2 cup of milk that he slowwwwwwly sucks down, this is gone quite quickly. V likes this form… Read more >
I forgot to share the good news! The Instant Pot support people have gotten back to me and are sending me a new base. Like I suspected, mine is broken beyond repair because it can’t correctly detect pressure (kinda important for a pressure cooker).

I had been reallllly looking forward to Saturday (all week in fact!!) because… Read more >
Who’s excited for the weekend!!! This chica! After considering my options the night before, I decided to hit up stroller strides in the morning, then once the kid craft wrapped up, jet over to Spanish library time. The first part of that went great! I got a stellar workout in, when I really wanted to phone it in. So yay. Always good to have others motivating you to push yourself. But then the kids wanted to play at the park for a couple of hours with their friends. Fine by me! So I just hung… Read more >
Still no word from Instant Pot. But life has to move on, so here’s Thursday’s breakfast. You already know what this is. Before that though, I did a work out. While the kids watched on (and participated a bit?). Kyle was gone and V had a ROUGH night, so I brought her into the bed with me thinking that would help her sleep. And hooray! It did. Help HER. Me? not so much. She took over the entire bed. I was up all night trying to gingerly move her from her horizontal position across both… Read more >
