Birthday Blog Takeover #1

Hungry Hungry… Kyle? Hey guys, it’s me!  E’s right hand man / sous chef / official taste tester, Kyle… Oh yeah, and I’m also her hubby.   (And yes, that is definitely a picture of me in a girl’s XS UCLA jersey… long story that I maybe don’t remember that well) I decided that after a couple years of Elise asking (/harassing) me to do a guest post, her birthday this year was a great reason for me to start my guest blogging career.   And, I thought, why not make it a family affair?… Read more >

HHH Hijacked

Get ready for…the Birthday Blog Takeover! Turns out, my friends & family have prepared a series of guests posts for me…so I have this entire week off to enjoy my birthday and steer clear of wordpress and live writer.   Aren’t they the best!?! Over the next few days my mom, dad, sisters, girlfriends, and second parents (aka in-laws) will be offering up some awesome posts for you.  I’ve read a couple so far and I was floored.  They are so good, I know you guys will love them. Happy Birthday to me 🙂 Enjoy!

Allergy testing

I’ll recap the weekend’s lost time later, I just wanted to update everyone on how my “morning” went.  I use quotations because even the earliest MD appointments seem to go on forever and ever… Last month when I started my FODMAPS journey, I got referred to an allergist.  Yes, I already know I have sensitivities to certain foods, but I never really suspected true allergies were an issue.  Wouldn’t I have had more drastic symptoms (ie an anaphylactic response) by now?  [Yes]  Anyway.  In the name of due diligence (for my FODMAPS research), I went… Read more >

Ruby Hill winery wedding

This recap is mostly for Laura, since she is [back] in South America, and was therefore unable to join us in celebrating.    The new Mr. and Mrs.! Not that there’s much to report from the morning leading up to the wedding…but I do feel like I should back up a bit.  For Laura’s sake.  The hippie household was in a scramble situation leading up to the main event. Marie went out Saturday night and was in too hung over of a state to get to my parents house until just before we left. My… Read more >
