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 >
This is gonna be a long one, but I like recapping our little family weekends, so this is selfishly for my own (online?) memory. Friday morning I had my usual breakfast, toast with an egg. Only I added something special, that I’ll review more thoroughly later on. Hint: it’s the peanut butter. After eating I spent the morning prepping for an interview. I have mixed feelings about my timeline for going back to work and it’s a complicated issue that I’m not going to discuss on the blog. Once I know what the plan… Read more >

Here are some products I’ve tried lately. Some were bad, some were okay, some were good, and some were awesome. So I figured I’d share. I have no affiliation with any of these companies. These are simply my honest opinions. 1. Tazo vanilla rooibos parfait (from Starbucks) Because I like my tea really (almond) milky, I’m always on the lookout for new decaf varieties that aren’t fruity and don’t have mint or chamomile in them (the two herbal flavors I am not a fan of). It’s surprisingly hard to find. And lately fennel is… Read more >

Can you believe I made this a while ago but only just got around to trying it? I know that sounds insane but it was purely due to the move. I hated the idea of blueberries and greek yogurt going to waste, so I decided to bake with it. Transporting a couple of frozen loaves of bread is way easier than berries and yogurt individually. It may seem like I’m obnoxiously frugal cheap, but organic blueberries are not inexpensive. Plus I don’t like the idea of waste. I’m the girl that takes home the last… Read more >

I’ll make this brief since this is what I’m up against… Hippie tip #1: Buy and sell (or give away) used moving boxes on craigslist before and after you move. Earth friendly and cheap. Here we are in our (old) backyard with a passed out babe and movers schlepping patio furniture. P was clearly not stressed out by the packing process. On the contrary, he slept probably 30 of the 36 hours that we were transitioning from one home to the next. He just looooves being held, and since we had no furniture… Read more >
