What in the world is happening with time. It’s 2020 and I have a seven year old son. This is crazy talk. I woke up at 5:45 to register them both for spring swim lessons. I can’t tell you how annoying it is to have to set my alarm for such an insane hour to do these things for the kids, but apparently this is the culture we are forced to accept if we want to set our kids up for success. And in this case, I use success in a VERY loose way. As… Read more >

Both kids had Monday off and I am not gonna lie, I was pretty excited about it. I LOVE having extra week day time with them because then we get to adventure.

I’ve got another “what I ate” style post for you guys, starting off with the same persimmon walnut bread I showed last time.

But of course it is still absolute perfection in my eyes. And the… Read more >

I’m really bringing it back to the old school style of blogging with a (mostly) full day of eats. I didn’t take pics of snacks or drinks, so you’ll have to use your imagination when it comes to the small carafe of decaf I guzzled down by 9 am. I made a double batch of persimmon walnut bread with the last of the persimmons (hot tip: find yourself a neighbor with a tree they can’t keep up with and make friends!). I froze one loaf, but we dug into the other right off the bat…. Read more >

This post has been a long time coming. I used to feel bad about how much chocolate I ate. But then I realized that shame around food is a byproduct of diet culture and I have no interest in participating in that narrative. If you’ve noticed changes in the way I blog about food over the past year, it’s because my eyes have been opened to the industry. Thanks to Intuitive Eating, Health At Every Size, and Anti-Diet, my attitude about this subject is so different from what it used to be. I know it’s… Read more >
