I had breakfast with my mama friends at our Monday (MOPS) meeting, so no photos of that, but it wasn’t that memorable.  It’s a rotating potluck and sometimes the DF/GF options are nonexistent.  Normally I don’t mind but this week they ran out of coffee which is a BIG BIG problem in a room full of preschool moms.  So anyway… I was super excited for lunch! I swapped in smoked salmon (which was what I was really craving) for the protein and fat that I’d normally get from the candied walnuts.  Plus I knew dinner… Read more >

Party weekend was a big success.  I don’t know why but I get a little anxiety leading up to things like this.  Will the kids like the activities?  Will P have fun?  Will the other parents think I’m lame for being a minimalist?  Will P realize that he’s not getting any presents? Anyway.  It went great and everyone had a blast and I’m now ready to take a breather for a bit before starting on plans for my big girl. Nourish bread and almond butter to start the day off right. I froze my a$$… Read more >

After a super lazy Saturday, I decided to start Sunday off with stroller strides.  That got my day going!  Yowza – the ‘Boost’ Sunday classes are always an insane workout.

For lunch I made a Caesar salad with kale, chicken,… Read more >

What I really wanted to do on Friday morning was sleep in, lie around, and do nothing. But my kids were up before the sun, so that was a no go! V and I hung out while the rest of the house snoozed…until around 6 am when P joined our pre-dawn par-tay. It’s amazing what you can get done on a phone before the rest of the West Coast is up.  I made Black Friday my b!tch, you guys (even though I was done with my shopping I got things refunded for even lower than… Read more >

I fear my sweet tooth slash sugar addiction is making a return. Exhibit A: the dessert I had last night that wasn’t enough…so I went back for MORE.  WTF. I’m not interested in going back to that, so I’m going to preemptively make some changes.  I’m going to think about what I want to do and get back to you guys.  The seasonal treats are fun and all, but lately I don’t even feel good after eating so much sugar on the late night. I barely crave it and then (even AS I’M EATING IT)… Read more >
