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 >

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 >

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 >

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 >

Non-noodle noodles are all the rage and while I’ve dabbled in the zucchini business myself, I’m just not into it.  It’s not the same and it’s not really better.  That said, I wanted to give these sweet potato noodles a try because my babes are only just now finalllllly coming around on potatoes and I thought something noodle-like might sell them even more.  Side note: what kids don’t like potatoes?  Oh mine.  The same kids who beg for roasted chickpeas, nutritional yeast, and seaweed snacks. This turned into a soup of sorts, merely because I had so… Read more >
