Nugget got a delivery from Sugar Plum so I got another loaf of Nourish bread!  This bread is vegan heaven. It’s just soooo good and so nutrient dense. I had a couple of slices with cashew butter. And then we were off to school. Stomping and splashing in puddles the whole way… Except that she fell shortly after this and landed IN A PUDDLE and then was heartbroken about being super wet and dirty and not getting to wear her skirt.  She got over it once she remembered we were making apple pie. She shocked me… Read more >

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’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 >
