Oats for the wee ones, but nada for me until after I took P to school. It was sunny and warm (!!!!) so I biked there. Usually I have school with V on Thursdays, but the teacher was sick so it was cancelled. To be honest, I was a little relieved because our day was so packed with activities. Having one fewer thing on the docket was helpful in this case. I had to pull over once to break up some random argument about who knows what, but I made it in record time (same… Read more >
Breakfast Lunch I tried to eat fewer macadamia nuts by putting fewer on my salad (knowing I’d go back for more after finishing the salad like I always do), but in the end I think I just ate the same because I then felt license to eat double the amount afterwards since I had “less” on my salad initially. My mind tricks are clearly not working. Anyway I don’t care because macadamias are delicious. Dinner Slow cooker enchilada quinoa for the win! This was the easiest recipe ever. I omitted the cream cheese and used… Read more >
Ever since last week when I juiced a bunch of beets, I’d been looking forward to dyeing their pancakes pink with some of the juice. Looking good right? Then I flipped them and… What happened?!

First things first, I’d like to give a virtual pat on the back to all the amazing women who read my blog…I’m so proud of us…and today is about celebrating, supporting, and nurturing our female community. I know there was a #daywithoutwomen movement to encourage us not to work (paid or unpaid) but that’s just not realistic in my case. And more importantly misses the mark. So here I am, plugging along during nap time, taking care of sh!t like me and all the other badass moms do every other day. My husband is a feminist. My kids are… Read more >
Notice anyone missing from the family photo??? Poor Kyle was up all night with a stomach bug – a mere 8 hours after arriving home. The combo of jet lag and a compromised immune system from all his travel plus some random stomach thing just put his body over the edge. He was a sweaty, shaking, nauseated mess the next morning. We were supposed to hit the road early to avoid traffic and bad weather, but Kyle was iffy on whether he’d be able to go. So in the meantime, I fed the kids and my… Read more >
