The last grapes

I’ve been putting off writing this post because there’s a sense of closure that comes with it. In December, we bottled the last of my grandpa’s grapes. [This is a side project that my dad and his friend do – not the Zin that is sold in stores that the vineyard grapes usually go to] As tricky as it is bringing two toddlers to a garage full of equipment for bottling wine, I really wanted them to have some memories of this.  P got to go to the vineyard a few times, but V only… Read more >

Banana bake

I’ll post this now, because I promised I would, but I may edit and re-post it later if I can tweak it to make it even better. I’ve tried several versions, and they all work, but it’s just about getting it perfect at this point. Here it is fresh out of the oven, the night before… And then I warm it and nut butter it (new verb?) and dig in the next morning.  Preferably after they’ve eaten and I’ve cleaned the kitchen and I can sit in peace and tidiness. The inside is more cakey… Read more >

What I Ate

Oops!  This post got buried in drafts somehow.  I don’t even know when it is from!  Imagine that…I wrote a post and then forgot about it…after months (years?) of barely getting a post up over the span of a week, I’m now so prolific that I’m losing track of them. 😉 So good news guys!  I wrote the recipe down (and it turned out!) for this banana thang, so I’ll post it in the next few days.  I swear I have a curse where I make things better when I don’t measure…and then I feel… Read more >

SB weekend

Brusha brusha brushaaaa. Kyle and I were trying to plan a date night this weekend because he’s going out of town all next week (so he’d be gone for Valentine’s Day, if we celebrated it).  The babysitter we used twice last year hasn’t been available lately, so we are back to square one with babysitter hunting. Sigh. Which means we didn’t get a date night.  Instead, we decided to do a family breakfast.  Not quite the same, but still a meal out, so that’s fun and different! We went to Crepeville as soon as we had worked out and showered…. Read more >

T25

Prior to October I was doing the same exercise regime I had been for the past couple of years. That was running, cycling, and Jillian Michaels’ workout DVDs.  And it was working great, so I don’t have any impressive weight loss story to accompany this post.  But I was a little bored.  I wrote it off as being tired (because what parent working out at 6 am isn’t exhausted?!), but in hindsight, I think I just needed a change up. Cardio is my favorite, so if I could just run and cycle every day, that would be… Read more >
