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 >
It was a great Thanksgiving!!! WEEEE!! All the things I’m most thankful for are in the picture above. This time of year is very reflective for me (and probably most everyone feels the same) and I just want to pinch myself when I look around at my life. We didn’t go over to my parents’ house until later in the morning, so I worked out and ate breakfast in Davis.

And then we got to surprise… Read more >
Another week of no kids in school, but Kyle had most of the day off so I (once again) went to stroller strides solo.

But you know what?! This is how crazy I am. I’m going to ANOTHER stroller strides class at 6:30 am. On Thanksgiving morning. Three days in a row makes it loco enough, but… Read more >
Absence does in fact make the heart grow fonder. You see that little angel up there? I spent the entire morning without her or her brother and when my parents brought them back to me I was delighted to see their little faces. While they were gone I went to stroller strides (without a stroller!), went grocery shopping for the Thanksgiving dishes I’m making, and helped Santa out with his stocking shopping. 😉 Since Black Friday sales have mostly already started I just decided to finish all my shopping now. So I did. Check! It… Read more >
