A 2 hour lunch

I don’t want to sound like a whiner, but DAYAM, being a mom is hard work. I always thought I knew this, but when Kyle was out of town I really realized it.  For real.  Trying to be productive during those 5 days was a joke.  I gave up after the first day.  So much for finishing moving in (I had wanted to surprise Kyle by having the house all done when he returned from his trip).  But how realistic is vacuuming and hammering the art up on the wall during P’s limited napping time? … Read more >

I just can’t get enough

Maybe it’s just me, but I find it exciting seeing what new (to me) products are available in different areas.  I have been seriously enjoying browsing the shelves of our local co-op and grocery stores (Nugget, Whole Foods).  The prepared foods sections have all kinds of different stuff and there are tons of hippie friendly companies with local distribution!  I love it.  I’m sure it’ll eventually get old – or at least less wondrous – because I was just as enchanted when we first moved to Santa Monica and I had 6 Whole Foods stores… Read more >

Progress pics & the week in food

May already!  The time flying by is even more noticeable now that I have a kiddo who gets bigger by the day second.  Most of his weight is going to his cheeks, which I love love love. Oh, hey, I can grab rings, no biggie. This week was a busy one for us as we were out of town all last weekend.  Lots of things to still get straightened away in setting up our house.  Ugh!  Moving takes forever.  Also, Kyle left mid-week for a bachelor party (yes, the festivities began on Wednesday).  So we… Read more >

Goat Cheese Manicotti

My sister sent me a guest post without any prodding from me – clearly blogging runs in our blood.  As I’m sure you’ve gathered in Elise’s previous blogs, as kids one of our (or at least my) favorite meals was manicotti.  Its also one of the first dishes I learned to cook as my mom would "let" us mix and stuff the shells (I’m pretty sure looking back on it now it was a ploy to get us to help out in the kitchen, but I guess it worked – take notes, Elise!). Anyway, since… Read more >

PB PB spread

Whoa. I mentioned I was in a “nut rut” last week, and it’s only been increasing thanks to this new kind of peanut butter. Pacific Beach Peanut Butter offered to send me some samples and I figured it would be the perfect thing to greet me as I arrived in Nor Cal.  The timing was awesome and I had a lovely package (with the 3 nut butters you see above) waiting for me after the long drive up the I-5. Let me tell you.  When you can’t be bothered to put together a “real” meal… Read more >
