Slipping

I fear my sweet tooth slash sugar addiction is making a return. Exhibit A: the dessert I had last night that wasn’t enough…so I went back for MORE.  WTF. I’m not interested in going back to that, so I’m going to preemptively make some changes.  I’m going to think about what I want to do and get back to you guys.  The seasonal treats are fun and all, but lately I don’t even feel good after eating so much sugar on the late night. I barely crave it and then (even AS I’M EATING IT)… Read more >

Treat yo self

Tuesday morning’s stroller strides was one of my favorites!  I was sore a mere 12 hours later which is unheard of for me….and I’m getting more and more sore as the hours tick by.  I usually don’t feel anything until 24 hours after a particular workout.  My legs were burning that evening though. We played at the park after and I lost track of time hanging with my kiddo and mama friends and before I knew it I had to hightail it home to squeeze a shower in before picking P up.  I WENT TO… Read more >

Kid cheerleaders

I was sooo encouraged by how much Valley enjoyed Sunday school but then when I went to drop her off in the child care on Monday (while I went to my mom’s group) she cried the second we approached the doorway.  Oof.  The weird part is that on the way there she told me (unprompted and of her own volition) she wanted me to leave her.  Which she maintained all through P’s school sign in morning drop off routine…and then like a record scratch she did a 180 as soon as we walked to the… Read more >

Bears basketball

I’m not an impulsive person, at all, and when our plans for Sunday fell through at the last minute I was okay with having nothingness.  Kyle had a flight that night anyway, so I figured soaking up the time with him and the kiddos together would be best.  But then my dad emailed my on Friday morning asking if we wanted extra tickets to the Cal basketball game on Sunday….and I was kinda tempted to just go for it!  I texted Kyle at work and he was on board and just like that, I made… Read more >

Brunch and shopping

Last week I barely held the family’s meals together without menu planning or a real shopping trip.  As a result, we went to all. the. stores. on Saturday.  And while it wasn’t pleasant, it was fine by me because the first part of the day was STELLAR.  The food part, that is. New things on the Pushkin’s Restaurant menu! Now that P is able to eat out, it’s fun to spend weekends with all of us together dining at restaurants.  Because we can!  I can’t wait to explore more of Sac.  That said, it’s really… Read more >
