Our first weekend back in LA

It’s so weird that we haven’t been back to LA since we left back in April.  We’ve seen several of our so cal friends since but not all of them so we decided to pop in for a quick visit. Honestly, we’ve been trying to squeeze a weekend in since this past fall, but then all this (good) stuff was happening with Kyle’s business…and then the holidays came along…and you know how it goes… But we finally got this in the calendar and what a fun time it was! Now.  As much as I adore… Read more >

Christmas 2013

Round 2!  Actually, if you count the Thanksmas we had in Tahoe earlier in December with Kyle’s family, this is really our third Christmas.    No such thing as too much celebrating, right?!  Especially when it’s baby’s first Christmas. We got to my parents’ house just in time for a few cookies.  Which provided the perfect fuel for the Niners’ game. My little cheerleader fell asleep on my shoulder during the game so I wasn’t much help in preparing dinner.   After we put him down we had a mini facetime sesh with my sis… Read more >

Lake Tahoe weekend

From Davis, it’s not too long of a car ride to Lake Tahoe!  And since we left straight from swim lessons (again!), we had a sleepy babe for 80% of the ride.   Once we got to the cabin, it was time to relax.  🙂   Ok, first unpack, then relax.  Food much?  You’d think we were packing to feed an army for a month.  But it was really just Thursday through Sunday (celebrating an early Christmas with Kyle’s side of the family).   Guess what’s in those plastic boxes!?!  SIX (!!) different kinds of… Read more >

Oh nuts

Where to start. Last week was an interesting one for us…turns out Patty-cakes is allergic to peanuts. And maybe more, but we won’t know much more for sure until we meet with the allergist. Needless to say, it was one of the scariest times of my life.  I swear, nothing can prepare you for parenting. I wasn’t going to talk about it here on HHH, but since this blog is (first and foremost) about the dietary management of food sensitivities and digestive issues, I think it’s pretty relevant.  I guess in many ways we are… Read more >

Weekend with Santa

Swim lessons always wear P out so I timed the 50 minute drive to my parents’ house accordingly.  We left straight from the pool in Davis and patty-cakes slept the ENTIRE drive (!!!).  He hates car rides nowadays so this was huge.  I even took advantage of the drive thru Starbucks in Dixon.  🙂 After hanging out with my mom for a bit I made some lunch with leftovers in their fridge. My sister came over later and then I picked Kyle up from the Lafayette BART station and we got things going for dinner…. Read more >
