During the first month at home, here’s what a typical day with our family of three looks like… 7 am: Wake up (for good). I usually don’t go back to sleep after P decides he’s hungry between 6-8 am. He eats every 2-4 hours or so throughout the night (it’s occasionally more frequent during the day) so if it’s before 6 am I usually try to go back to sleep again, but if it’s after that I just get up. Kyle showers while I change and breast feed and then brings the pack ‘n… Read more >

Of a very pregnant (over 40 weeks and counting!) lady…on maternity leave… Wake up 4+ times throughout the night. Finally get up for good some time between 6-8 am. Drink weak tea with almond milk and maple syrup. Wonder how much longer til you can guzzle caffeine again. Make breakfast #1. A bowl of oats with nut butter & bananas. I usually have half the banana at a time since it seems to give me reflux now (realistically everything does). Play on the computer. Respond to emails and blog comments. Make & prep food… Read more >

Look what Mr. Savory requested for breakfast! Kyle was really proud of his idea for trail mix pancakes. He wants full credit for this breakfast concept (even though I made them), so if you’ve seen these before just keep it to yourself. 😉 I made the batter the night before (leaving the trail mix out) and in the morning breakfast was pretty much ready to go. Trail Mix Pancakes [yields ~10-14 small pancakes] Ingredients: 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour 1 tbsp baking powder 2 tbsp sugar 1/2 tsp salt 1 1/4 cup almond milk… Read more >

This whole Lance Armstrong business really bums me out. I always believed his denials. I guess I just wanted him to be telling the truth about being clean so badly. I read his books way back when they came out and found his story so inspirational. I felt so bad for him when his medals were stripped. And now it turns out he was covering up illegal drug use all along. Sucks. Since I’m on the subject of random current events (and my reactions), what do you guys make of this new Girl Scout Cookie? … Read more >
