Kru with my crew

Ok the only reason I’m even bothering to back up to last week is because I had a foodie dinner date with some peeps and I have to share the pics. I kinda knew two of the girls peripherally – through either MOPS or stroller strides – but the dinner actually came about really because we all know one of the girls.  And she knows each of us as some one who likes dining at amazing restaurants.  So a month ago she assembled this all star foodie crew and scheduled a date for us to… Read more >

Because things in jars are acceptable breakfast fare, right?  Sure…. Read more >

Earth Day weekend

Happy (belated) Earth Day fellow hippies! We had such an awesome weekend.  The sun was out and we got together with lots of friends and for those reasons (and many more), we were all so happy. Low key Friday lunch because I didn’t feel like anything real.  I believe this is called intuitive eating?? Friday’s dinner was LEGIT the best thing I had all week.  I know I was kinda struggling with snack (and food in general) inspiration last time I checked in, but you guys knew just what to say to make me feel… Read more >
