After Kyle’s parents left, we still had a holiday weekend upon us, so we brainstormed what to do on Monday and came up with the Bay Area Discovery Museum in Sausalito.  Kyle and P had been before when they had their one on one weekend, so I was eager to see everything they had done. Even though they have a SUPER allergy friendly cafe (no peanuts or tree nuts and GF/DF options aplenty) I still packed us all food to save $.  We just popped out to the car to eat lunch in the trunk….

I spent Sunday morning with my mini man at church (in an attempt to give me and P some special bonding time). I have no idea what I ate for breakfast because I have no photo of it…maybe leftovers from the day before? Or more granola? This kale had so many bugs in it!  Organic definitely has it’s downfalls. I had sautéed those Brussels in olive oil as part of my weekly prep a while back and needed to use them up soon, so I added them to some of the kale massaged in vinaigrette… Read more >

I was going to take a photo of my beautiful soy decaf cafe au lait at Crepeville, but the background was a bit more entertaining… SUCH A SILLY THING!

This week has been granola week. I’m a clusters girl, so I picked out all the big chunks, but had to fight the kids for the rest.  They polished it off by Thursday and requested more asap, but I don’t think I’ll get a chance to make another batch until Sunday.  It’s REALLY a good recipe, guys.  Like an oatmeal raisin cookie in granola form.  Mmmmm. In any event, I ended up eating this Sun & Soil granola over the rest of the week because the kids claimed the home made stuff.  Santa put it… Read more >

I wasn’t very on top of it with my food photography on Monday… These are actually the only pics I have of my food until dinner.  Oops!  I have 400 of my kids on bounce houses, though. My birthday boy had the day off school.  He shares a birthday with Lincoln, although the 12th isn’t the President’s Holiday that everyone else gets off.  I’m not sure why his school gets back to back Mondays off, but either way, we had planned to go to Kids Gone Wild in Vacaville.  I’d never been but many of… Read more >
