Lake Almanor Weekend

This weekend Kyle and I flew/drove to Lake Almanor for a couples getaway.  Our friends have a baby on the way, so we were celebrating that – but instead of a girly shower with cheesy games we relaxed, drank and enjoyed our peaceful vacation with friends.    The hosts own an amazing cabin that I couldn’t even being to describe.  Not only does it have tons of bedrooms, a TV den and game room, a huge living room with an equally huge outside deck, a bocce ball court, horseshoe and corn hole set ups, and… Read more >

Wedding, Beach & Tennis

What a weekend. It all started with a Friday wedding. Ok, actually it all started with a really awesome breakfast.   Oats topped in a perfectly fried egg and avocado. Kyle came home from work early, so I got to eat lunch with him, which was a nice change in routine. I had Amy’s golden lentil soup.  It was stellar!  I have already gone to the store to get another can, that’s how much I loved it.  I think this is now the best Amy’s soup I’ve ever tried. On the side I had carrots… Read more >

DC: sweetgreen

Another waffle start to the day.   Followed by another cab ride to the heart of DC.   We left Kyle’s grandma at the DAR library so she could do research.  I’ll spare you my sentiments on how much fun that sounds like to me.  The inside was actually really neat – it looked like a cross between an old train station and the White House.  They were filming celebrity jeopardy right next door (I tweeted about my Dr. Oz sighting), but we already had Smithsonian plans.  [above] From the American History Museum – war… Read more >

Meeting up in Madrid

May 15th. Slowly but surely I am getting through my Spain travels…here’s more from Madrid, starting up again right where I last left off. I woke up early(ish) to get beautified before meeting Alene at Starbucks.  It’s so much fun meeting up with friends when you are traveling.  I love my family, obviously, but it’s especially great when both your family and  your friends want to travel together.  I’m a lucky girl – although to be honest, since Alene and I have been friends from age 4, it’s almost more accurate to call her family. … Read more >

Hummus’ return

Just popping in to let you all know that this week’s galactans challenge is still in full effect.  Each day I’ve been testing my digestive system’s limits with a different member of the category – including peas, beans, lentils…and hummus.  Oh glorious hummus.  [For a list of the others galactan foods check here]   I somehow managed to delete the final product of this banana, oat, pumpkin combo.  So, yeah.  This is all I’ve got.  Work eats: salad, Halo s’mores ProBar , Enjoy Life chewy cocoa loco bar.   This salad was just your average… Read more >
