We woke up Sunday morning still kid free!  After working out together (bike rides!) we contemplated our breakfast situation. Kyle really wanted to encourage me to treat myself and kinda coerced me into Temple.  He was shocked when he found out I’d never been.  It’s THE ULTIMATE for coffee people.  My dad would go gaga in this place.  Look at all the pour over stations! But why he really wanted me to go in was for the baked goods.  They had nearly TEN vegan and gluten free pastry options!!!  How did I not know this!?!?!… Read more >

We decided to stick to one up-dose per appointment but we were still there until almost noon.  It was all good though.  He is officially at 1/4 cup of whole milk twice a day. He read the same book on cd 5 times in a row! And ate pretzels while he snuggled on my lap to pass the time.  After we left, we quickly ran to WF, where I was planning to get something, but P was anxious to get home, so I scrapped my plan and just went back to my parents’ house.  I… Read more >

Finally feeling back to normal!  And with the help of daily kombucha, my gut may not be as wonky and off as it would be post illness otherwise.

Mmmmm.  Open gym with V after that.  Still no… Read more >

He is so proud of himself! I don’t have much in the way of food photos for Monday because I basically didn’t eat much. I sipped a trilogy kombucha all morning and afternoon long and my stomach was pretty happy to have nothing in it but fizzy probiotics. I wasn’t even hungry.  So weird. We went to the park and then IKEA because we needed (yes NEEDED) popsicle molds.  It was an easy enough outing and they loved playing in the kids section and testing out the big kids beds.  Together. We made popsicles once… Read more >

This is how big I want my bar, okay mama? Hard to say no to such a sweet (and healthy) request. I have had glimpses of a return to good health after my initial take down, but I keep having lingering moments that suck. I’m not sure when I’ll feel 100% again.  In the meantime, I’m at least functional as a mom.  My GI system is hibernating, so I’m just letting it.  While trying my best to distract the kids from my blah.  Our Saturday plans were cancelled so we took the opportunity to enjoy the nothingness… Read more >
