Kyle and I went out for a date!! This was basically my (only) New Year’s Resolution. Hopefully it will become a regular thing (making it a regular thing is my actual resolution). I know it’s important, but it’s hard for a variety of reasons (some of which are valid and some of which are in my head). We still have never had a non-family member watch the kids, which may seem weird but…I don’t know…we just haven’t. And although I could say a lot right now – about my anxieties and personal road blocks as they relate to… Read more >

Hi new year! I’m not the kind of person to set “resolutions” really. I’ve sorta done it in the past, because who hasn’t (?), but I usually gave myself vague goals like “drink more water”. That said, I can definitely see the appeal in resetting your focus after the holidays, when desserts are impossible to turn down and there’s always some sort of feast in front of your face. But I exercise regularly all year and that’s always a priority for me, whether it’s January or not. Similarly, I always want to eat good quality whole food…. Read more >

I realize it’s pretty late to be recapping last weekend but I’m going to do it anyway because (a) these are my favorite posts to read and write and (b) my sister loves feeling in the loop with the family goings-on. So. This past weekend we went to visit my parents to celebrate my mom’s birthday. I thought we were going to have to cancel because P got a GI bug last week that was annihilating him but he turned a corner on Saturday. Thank goodness. Poor baby was trying his best to be happy… Read more >

My mom and I took my great Aunt out to lunch last week. I googled a few places in Napa (near where she lives) and then passed the decision off to my mom, who chose The Thomas. Aside from the weird name, the place was great! Awesome staff, awesome ambiance (we ate upstairs and it was a gorgeous day) and awesome food. I got the lentil salad. My mom got the fried chicken sandwich. We both loved our food (and totally cleaned our plates) but my mom ended up getting sick from hers. 🙁 My drink… Read more >

Sunday was our last (full) day in Sydney 🙁 We slept in a bit and after feeding P, drove over to Bronte for brunch. Bogey Hole was one of several cute looking cafes on the main street along the beach front. They were all pretty packed but after a short wait we were able to snag a spot outside that fit us all, including a very fussy P in his stroller. Kyle got a banana smoothie and toast with jam. I think we were all feeling a bit blah from the previous night. Laura… Read more >
