The pumpkin cliche

She’s a blur in real life and in photos.  That’s her nature. My morning plans fell through so I went to stroller strides.  I’ve basically been going twice a week since Kyle’s been gone because it’s all I can do to keep my sanity.  I switched to the unlimited for this month.  I don’t know why but the kids both love it.  P doesn’t get to go unless it’s on a Friday because he has school on Mon-Thurs mornings, but he always seems sad that V gets to go without him.  I have no idea… Read more >

Yard work and football

Apparently I lack the brain power to come up with meals after a week without Kyle…we have done tacos two nights in a row (no complaints from the little people) and tonight I did nachos.  Basically with all the same stuff but in a different arrangement on the plate.  In case you couldn’t guess, I haven’t gone to the store or meal planned for the week ahead.  This weekend was move in for the UC Davis students and I hesitate to make the comparison, but you can probably guess what the shelves at TJs look… Read more >

Saturday with the monkeys

Here’s what last night’s dessert started as… But I totally finished off that entire truffle pig peanut butter bar. How a dessert decided on putting “pig” in the name is beyond me, but it didn’t stop me so I guess the branding team knew what they were doing after all… And then the next morning I went on a run with both kids in the double and totally over ate at breakfast. This is the (dense as F%$@) nourish bread from Nugget that I blogged about last week.  Each slice weighs as much as a… Read more >

Motivation of the external kind

TGIF everyone! I got the park wrong for stroller strides, drove to the other park, realized I had the correct park the first time, drove back, and was only a few minutes late for the warm up.  Phew.  I was super flustered though and it took me a while to calm down and let the endorphins wash over me.  But once they hit, oh man, it was much needed, that’s for sure. We did a fall craft with the kids after our work out.  Happy first day of fall!!  Best season of all  🙂 🙂… Read more >

Back to school night

I need a healthy vice, you guys. Preferably an inexpensive one too (free would be ideal).  I am going to tell you something I just did. Something I have never done, ever.  I just saw an instagram ad for pants that I thought looked cute, clicked on the link all the way through to the website (which I had never heard of before), picked out the exact jeans that I saw in the ad, and ordered them.  In under 5 minutes.  What. The. Heck.  Is wrong with me. My birthday is next month.  There’s no reason… Read more >
