This week was fun. Busy and not busy in perfect amounts. One thing I’ve noticed about working part time is there’s a big (HUGE) difference between 2 shifts and 3 shifts. It may not sound like it, but I feel like the time off allows me to get so much more done. And rather than fill it with errands and chores, I can actually hang out and relax and enjoy myself. It’s lovely. Here are some of the things I ate this week. Breakfasts Baked oatmeal bars with blueberries [sorry about the crappy pic]… Read more >

Kyle’s on his way home! Weee! After an eternity on my own, I’m re-he-he-heeeeally looking forward to his return. [edited to add: the van broke down and he’s stuck in Albuquerque sorting out the game plan to fix it, so who knows what this means for his return home] Let me just photo bomb you with some recent meals… Carrots, green grapes, Mary’s Gone crackers, Redwood Hill Farm smoked cheddar goat cheese, hard boiled eggs, local smoked almonds (from the Co-op). Very smoke-y, very yummy. Ditto goes for the almonds. Carrots, Mary’s Gone crackers, candied walnuts,… Read more >

Breakfast Udi’s mighty bagel with organic peanut butter and a fried egg. I had the second half of the bagel a couple hours later. Also with PB PB. I’m seriously obsessed with these bagels. They are so hearty and full of seeds and whole grains, you’d never know they are wheat and gluten free. Definitely the best GF baked good I’ve tried so far. What sets it apart though, is the fact that it actually tastes like a bagel. Not eggy bread. Not nutrient devoid buns. Not cardboard crap. Real ingredients! I can SEE the… Read more >

Maybe it’s just me, but I find it exciting seeing what new (to me) products are available in different areas. I have been seriously enjoying browsing the shelves of our local co-op and grocery stores (Nugget, Whole Foods). The prepared foods sections have all kinds of different stuff and there are tons of hippie friendly companies with local distribution! I love it. I’m sure it’ll eventually get old – or at least less wondrous – because I was just as enchanted when we first moved to Santa Monica and I had 6 Whole Foods stores… Read more >

May already! The time flying by is even more noticeable now that I have a kiddo who gets bigger by the day second. Most of his weight is going to his cheeks, which I love love love. Oh, hey, I can grab rings, no biggie. This week was a busy one for us as we were out of town all last weekend. Lots of things to still get straightened away in setting up our house. Ugh! Moving takes forever. Also, Kyle left mid-week for a bachelor party (yes, the festivities began on Wednesday). So we… Read more >
