Laura took a half day on Friday so after our morning routine she came home and we hit the road. Off to Coogee! She used to live in Coogee (first in 2007 and then again in 2012 when she returned to Oz before she moved to her current place). So she knows the area quite well. She cheated on her former employer (Coogee Cafe) and took us to Globe Fine Food & Coffee. She warned us that the service wasn’t amazing, but the food was. Plus it was on a cute street that had… Read more >

Best airport greeting! [photo collage borrowed from my sister’s IG] Auntie Laura knows her nephew well because she brought a balloon to the airport for him and it was basically the best thing ever. He didn’t care about anything else once it was in his hands. Vacation on. It’s hard to know where the first day technically starts since it was a 24 hour travel extravaganza followed by a full day upon arrival. We left on Wednesday and arrived Friday morning and it was about what you’d expect as far as flying with a one… Read more >

Leading up to our trip, I tried to make the most of what we had leftover in the kitchen and freezer. The meals were mostly huge salads with grains – my effort to be cheap and use up every single perishable item in the house so nothing went to waste. As you can imagine, these weren’t the most inventive or exciting meals (also they were insanely repetitive) so I didn’t bother taking pics. I did, however, have photos of some of our dinners from the previous week that I never got around to sharing…so here… Read more >

Swoon. We spent too much time at Lamps Plus last Sunday buying a chandelier for…drumroll…our new house!!! I am still in shock. More on that later. In the two hours it took to find a suitable chandelier and matching chain, P managed to pee through an outfit and get super hungry. Like a total rookie mom, I was prepared for neither. We left at 11:30 thinking it would be a 30 minute trip, tops. But we were way wrong. Needless to say I made it work. I changed him in the car and cleaned… Read more >

Sometimes Kyle has lunch meetings and sometimes he’s home for breakfast so what I pack for him varies. I just ask him about his schedule the night before and what meals he wants. Last week I made a bunch of breakfast burritos for Kyle. I assembled them and rolled them up in foil all at once so I could just throw them in his lunch box the night before. So easy. I am seriously sorry about the photos, but there’s only so much you can do with an iphone at 9 pm. For the… Read more >
