My parents are remodeling their kitchen (slash living room slash dining room slash house slash annoying) so it’s a good thing it was gorgeous and sunny this weekend. Because we had a birthday party for my dad!! He’s 59 years young! I’ll get to the party details later. I have lots of photos of people from this weekend and I know that’s all you guys my sister wants to see anyway. Food schmood right? P disagrees. He’s digging the solids. We had a slow start with carrots, but bananas and avocado have been… Read more >

Ok! So you guys want some gluten free quick bread, huh!? After I asked which recipes peeps were interested in in this post, the banana bread was the most requested one by far. I totally don’t blame you. I’ve had it for breakfast every single morning for the past two weeks. Every. Single. Morning. I’ve re-made it THREE times since. It’s so gooooood. Gluten Free Banana Bread [vegetarian, gluten free, dairy free, FODMAPs friendly, makes 1 mini loaf] Ingredients: 1 cup almond flour 1/2 c NuNaturals stevia baking blend 1/4 cup whole rolled oats (certified… Read more >

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 >

Hey! I’m alive! Ish. This week was crazy. [Life is crazy] So many emotions. Adjusting to working again after maternity leave is one thing. Adjusting to a new hospital and orienting to the new unit environment is another. And adjusting to spending the day away from my love is yet another. All these changes require me to be flexible and cool with change, which isn’t my strong suit. I’m a creature of habit with a bit of OCD mixed in (what nurse doesn’t have OCD/Type A tendencies, tell me that). Sometimes this is a good… Read more >

My sister finally got to meet her nephew!!! Even though I knew she was coming home, I couldn’t tell anyone because it was a surprise for her best friend’s bachelorette party. My immediate family knew, but I didn’t even want to tell any of my friends, for fear facebook postings would give her away. The whole thing went off without a hitch and my sister’s bestie was totally shocked when she showed up in Napa. And bonus for me, I got to see her for the first time in over a year! What a ladies… Read more >
