Nothing better
Even on the crazy overwhelming days, there’s nothing better. I love being a mom. And I’m so lucky to have an amazing role model to show me the ropes. Now those are some great looking genes. HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to all the mamas!
Quick bread for little fingers
I made this bread for me and P thinking he’d do what he always does – try it, like a few bites, but ultimately be over it by the 4th bite forevermore. NOPE! Little man took this loaf down in two days with not much help from mama (which was a difficult sacrifice on my end because it was gooooood).

Puffed Rice Granola
I tried switching P from corn to rice puffs recently (I may have mentioned it in a previous post but I can’t remember) just for a touch of variety. The corn puffs aren’t exactly health food, but neither are the rice ones. They are just easy for end of the meal (clean up) time and on-the-go snacking.

He points to the door handle and begs to go out nearly every second of the day. Needless to say, we are in the shady portion of the yard as much as possible. Anyway, we invited some (new) friends… Read more >
My highlights: week 18
I skipped a couple of weeks…but I have some photos uploaded from the past few days so I figured I’d share. Watermelon messes at the farmer’s market. Adorable. The best freakin’ salad. Brings back memories of childhood because it’s my mom’s recipe. We are both excited for this one. NuGo bar (chocolate pretzel yummmmm) and Bon Appetit make for perfect naptime material. Lunch date with my mom. And with that, I’m off to soak up family time!
