May day

P seems to be waking earlier and earlier these days so my breakfasts are kinda growing in order to hold me over for the long(er) interim between the morning shuffle and lunchtime. Kyle’s a gem of a husband and so unless he has a really early meeting or call, he plays with P for a little bit and let’s me get a workout in. If he can’t, I take the BOB out for a stroller jog that ends with fun at the park.  We actually have a few different parks near us, so depending on which route I… Read more >

Namaste waffles and candy cravings

We hosted some friends for brunch on Sunday and I decided to make waffles.  We also had berries and bacon to accompany the waffles, but the waffles were definitely the feature. I was kinda lazy so I went with a mix.  And since I thought there may be leftovers I went the GF route, so P could enjoy them, too. I’ve never tried any Namaste Foods products but Heather has given the green light on the pizza crust mix so I figured that probably meant the rest of the products would be decent as well.  Anyway,… Read more >

All about hemp milk

Obviously I didn’t invent hemp milk, so this post is not going to be super detailed on the tutorial end, however, I did do lots of research about hemp seed sources that I think could be helpful to have all in one place for others.  Since many companies that package/manufacture/sell hemp seeds also package/manufacture/sell nuts (and other allergens) I wanted to contact as many as I could to find out the details on their standards of co-packing.  There were a few who didn’t respond to my email, which I indicate below, but the rest were very… Read more >

My highlights: weeks 14 & 15

I hesitate to type this but I have never seen someone so focused on balls.  Fortunately he is really good with the phrase “share with…(mama, dada, so-and-so…)” so as obsessed as he is, it’s not a huge problem when other kids are around.  Yet.   Peek-a-ZOOOOOOO.  Giraffes are always his fave.   Picnic Day performance followed by a fro-yo treat.  It was so hot out and the crowds were crazy.  It was the 100th anniversary of Davis’ picnic day so the masses were flooding campus for the festivities.  We showed up later in the afternoon but I… Read more >

Bubblicious watermelon gum in smoothie form

I mean this in the healthiest way possible, but this smoothie tasted like this gum. I hope other people know about Bubblicious watermelon wave and I wasn’t the only one who spent my summers in the 90’s binging on this sugar loaded crap behind my mom’s back.  Hey, I saved up my hard earned (ha! riiiight!) money from refereeing kids soccer games and timing at swim meets for this stuff, so I don’t think spending it on sweet treats is the worst thing in the world.  Better than my sister’s squeeze pop addiction.  That stuff was straight up nast.  Sorry… Read more >
