Giving and the ballet and haircuts

Thanksgiving weekend was packed so I’m only finally getting my pics uploaded. P had a dentist appointment to kick off the week and hooray for healthy teeth! I got some grief from the dentist for asking a bunch of questions about the flavored toothpaste they offered (birthday cake!?!) so they agreed to just use plain old paste. I get that they want to make the visit painless fun for kids, but he doesn’t know any better so just give him the one that doesn’t have recaldent and save me a headache dealing with a dairy reaction… Read more >

Back from thanksgiving

It’s been a veggie-ful week thus far. Well, I guess it’s only Tuesday, but ever since last Thursday we have been hitting the greens hard. Recovery cravings ya know? I thought I’d pop in to say hi and share pics from yesterday because the kids are still napping (as I start this, at least). I’ve finished dinner already and the mood to blog hit, so here I am. The last bits of the pumpkin roll cake I made for Thanksgiving are nearly gone, but I took a break from that this am and opted for… Read more >

I am spartan

Over the summer, we decided we needed something to inspire us to stay active during the colder months and so we ended up signing up for a Spartan race in early November. We even managed to convince my sisters to do it with us. Thanks to a promo code, we didn’t break the bank (it’s normally $100 per entry) and it got us pumped to “train” for the months leading up to it. Kyle and I created mini workouts at a local park (which P has hereafter dubbed “the exercise park”) and while I felt like… Read more >

OIT and SLIT and allergy challenges

I don’t exactly know where to start with this post since it’s been a few months of back and forth and it’s not easy to sum up, but I like keeping you in the loop so here’s where we are… P has outgrown his tree nut, soy, sesame, and gluten allergies but is still allergic to peanuts and dairy. We are aware of all the latest treatment options for peanuts – namely what is being done at Stanford and Long Beach – to desensitize patients. Essentially small doses are administered until the immune system is convinced… Read more >

Comfort food

It’s 9 pm and usually I’d be heading to bed but I can’t turn off the news. I think I may be up all night. My heart rate is sky high. There’s only so much chocolate can do. So I guess I will multi task and share some pics. Food as a means of comforting? YEP. Cashew hollandaise don’t mind if I do. Sooooo, these avocado and quinoa fritters were good but I’m not sure if they were worth the time and energy it took to make them. They are from this cookbook, A Modern… Read more >
