I missed rabbit rabbit

I have so much to say but I’m so exhausted.  Last time Kyle was gone the kids were sick but at least I was healthy.  This time I’m sick (too) and there’s only so long that you can fake it. But I will forge ahead because he is coming home soon and we have so much fun stuff planned this weekend. You know what people email me the most about?  Well, allergy stuff mostly, but aside from that I get asked how we do “media free” for the kids.  I haven’t ever responded in a formal… Read more >

AAG scones

These are the currant scones from Danielle Walker’s Against All Grain, but made without sugar. I’ve been using this NuNaurals simple syrup in recipes that call for honey or maple syrup ever since I got it a while back – the directions on the back tell you how it substitutes for other regular sweeteners.  So far it has been pretty easy to adjust for and I haven’t been able to tell any different in the outcome.  Flavor and texture wise, it’s a solid low carb/sugar free swap. NuNaturals is so on trend with their product line…. Read more >

Arts and crafts and meals

My photos got uploaded in reverse order which was semi annoying to fix and I almost just blogged the day in reverse but then figured I may as well just keep things in chronological order.  But then it got me thinking why I cared at all…what’s the difference in doing the day backwards?  Dessert to breakfast, with tid-bits from the day stuck in.  Maybe another time.  In any event, here’s the maple walnuts scone that I inhaled (with almond butter) from Pushkin’s.  This was an amazing a$$ pastry.  I have zero things I could say… Read more >

What I Ate

Sunday morning was bittersweet. This was the sweet part. I am so glad I got this blueberry coffee cake to go. I couldn’t help but give it the cashew butter treatment. After breakfast I took the kids to church and Kyle went to the airport.  I hate when he leaves during the day. Red-eye flights are easier because then I just go to sleep and don’t have to think about it.  Anyway, it was all good because I made afternoon plans with my girlfriends (and their kids, obvs) so I had that to look forward to….

Lord of the Dance

I forgot to take pics of breakfasts, but the kids had home-made pancakes.  Same old same old. I was in a rush and ate granola with cashew butter and banana.  A bit of a change up but I didn’t have anything prepped.  We had to get out the door for gymnastics and then library. This was our last gymnastics class though, since our Friday mornings will be spent in Fremont from now on. I didn’t take pics of their lunches either, but there were a TON of cuties and oranges consumed. By everyone. This plate was… Read more >
