Winter Quinoa Bowl recipe

Guys, it’s been 4 days since we’ve returned from our Florida trip and I still haven’t been shopping. I’m pretty impressed with my ingenuity.  This is partially because we left town so rashly, I had pretty much just gone to the grocery store when we decided to go.  Woops!  Luckily I was able to throw most things in the freezer and postpone the meal plan.  But still…it’s been a project on getting crafty with pantry stuffs. This bowl is hearty and homey, but also light and clean.  The combo of pecans and beans gives it staying power and… Read more >

Sickies get sicker

Friday morning started with a date in the hotel gym. P had several coughing fits throughout the night so we were up multiple times to make sure he was okay didn’t wake his sister.  His cough went from minor to BAD overnight and he also seemed super hot so I was glad I had our first aid kit on hand.  I gave him children’s Tylenol in the middle of the night which helped, but when it wore off, oh man… It was good to zone out on the elliptical to Real Housewives because I wasn’t in the mood to… Read more >

Palm trees and swimming as three

Our second day in Palm Beach Gardens started more normally.  Kyle got to see the kids before leaving for work and we both got to squeeze in a run.  It feels so nice to run in a tank top!  I’m not cut out for winters anywhere.  How did I ever survive living in New York? We hit up WF again because the kids wanted yogurt and granola again (shocker…). For some reason this WF doesn’t have a hot bar for breakfast, so that was definitely a bummer (I love their biscuits and tater tots and all… Read more >

Off to West Palm Beach

Surprisingly, I didn’t feel as frazzled as I thought I would as we hit the road to the airport.  Kyle was going for work but we still got to travel on the way there together, so I had help with the kiddos on one leg.  But he was going to stay for two weeks so the kids and I got flights back so P wouldn’t miss school.  We still had a week so it was seeming pretty perfect!  I wasn’t going to let myself even think about the flight back with two kids until the end… Read more >

A weird start to 2017

Here is our first dinner of 2017.  Kale salad.  So detox-y, so typical. With a home-made miso tamari ginger dressing, this was the only “me” thing about the start of the year…let me back up. We rang in the new year like lame-os.  Or 99% of parents of toddlers.  We did nothing.  We had a kiddo birthday party on the 31st and did a fake ball drop for the littles at noon. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!  Happy New Year!!! Cue the balloon chaos. I brought P his own cupcake (I asked my friend what… Read more >
