We are melting over here in Davis.  For real.  It’s crazy hot and I’m so lucky I have so many friends with pools. Since it reaches 90 degrees by 8 am, the best option for outside time is first thing in the morning.  We don’t have much shade in our yard, but at least the house offers a little before the sun gets all the way up.  Lately we have been eating breakfast al fresco to maximize outside time. It was actually P’s idea.  I was making a summer bucket list and asked him what… Read more >

Waffle action! I made two batters the night before, unsure which would turn out (if any) because I was making them grain free and sugar free.  I’m easing myself into a more strict fodmaps free SIBO type of diet.  I won’t start officially until after my sister’s wedding but I have all the supplements already so I’m just getting my mental and emotional state in the game.  I’m actually SUPER excited about it, even though I’ve heard it sucks.  Kyle’s very supportive though and is willing to do whatever to help me help my gut….

So I gave her some cucumbers to munch on while I ate my muffin.  I was really trying to avoid sharing my breakfast with her and she seemed happy to stick to her own fare, so that was a… Read more >

I always fall off the blog wagon around Tuesday and then spend the weekend catching up.  The weekdays fly by with our regular travel to Fremont.  It’s like we finally get settled back at home and BAM it’s Thursday and time to head back down.
