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 >

There was a lot of food in the house on Thursday. And the Wednesday before. Actually, the Tuesday before too! We set off for my parents’ house after I got my hair cut (finally!!!) on Tuesday evening, so by the time we got there P’s bed time had come and gone and he was not thrilled in the least. Fussy pants was quickly soothed by the heaps of attention he received once more relatives arrived. Family! The house was jam packed with people, so the 3 of us shared a room which meant sneaking in… Read more >

Can I just show all the yummy things I’ve been stuffing my face with lately in one quick post? Life before Thanksgiving did exist. The last of the pumpkin cornbread muffins with eggs. And yet another savory breakfast. The to-go cup is because I was heading to MOPS after and wanted to be able to continue my decaf fueling there. We made pies! I actually can’t take any credit for this because I was holding P the whole time and another mom did 99% of the work for me. He had a meltdown… Read more >

I’m so behind in posting!! Indulge me as I recap last weekend… Thursday night we got a surprise visit from Kyle’s dad. He was passing through Davis so he spent the night at our place. He arrived during patty-cake’s dinner time. More peas for P, please! After we all played for a while, it was bedtime for the little guy. We had called in a take-out order from Mermaid sushi earlier, so the boys went to pick it up while I nursed P to sleep. Yes, that’s a sushi order for 3. 🙂 Love the… Read more >

I stopped taking pics of my lunches a while back because they were soooo repetitive (avo and egg salad with some kind of carb). But then we ran out of eggs and I was forced to get a little more creative. The stars of the show were these gifts from my neighbor. She has a pomegranate tree and hooked me up with 4 red beauties. There’s something therapeutic about de-seeding them. Especially when your kiddo is napping in his crib for the first time in days. [I love chest naps but they make it… Read more >
