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 >

December snippets

I have an insane collection of photos from the past two (three?) weeks.    The holidays are just so crazy.  It’s even more fun with a kid.  I feel like we are creating memories and traditions.  Blogging has been the last thing on my mind.  Actually it’s not the blogging part that’s the issue, it’s the uploading photos and editing part.  Why is that so annoying and time consuming?  I love connecting with you guys!  I’ve missed this.  So that said.  Here’s snippets of the stuff I’ve been eating and doing.

San Fran-iversary weekend

I realize this post is hardly timely.  We didn’t get back from the city until Monday evening and then I worked two nights in a row though…sooo…what can you do?  Truthfully, my weekend recaps are my own selfish way of documenting our memories forever and ever.  If others enjoy them, great!    So let’s back track to Saturday.  I was recovering from a few night shifts so we kept the day mellow.  I ate at odd times and didn’t get close to capturing everything I ate on film.  Did you know sleep deprivation can make… Read more >

Ten Reviews

Here are some products I’ve tried lately. Some were bad, some were okay, some were good, and some were awesome. So I figured I’d share. I have no affiliation with any of these companies. These are simply my honest opinions. 1. Boulder Canyon Natural Foods olive oil kettle cooked potato chips I’m not sure what makes these “kettle” exactly, but as far as ingredients go they are clean and pure.  Vegan and gluten free.  And FODMAPs friendly.  Purely potatoes, olive oil and salt. I thought they were too greasy, but I’m not a potato chip… Read more >
