The return of kale and coffee

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. I made heaps of pancakes for breakfast because I needed extra for P to bring to school the next day. For my own breakfast, I made a smoothie with bananas, berries, chia seeds, walnuts, almond milk, and collagen after biking P to school.  I can’t help but think the collagen is doing good things for my gut too. Mmmmm.  Open gym with V after that.  Still no… Read more >

We ate out at a restaurant!

As a FOURSOME!  Meaning all four of us ordered from the menu and ate the food that was prepared in a restaurant kitchen and I didn’t pack up ANYTHING to bring!! Weeee! It was a big moment. We went to Pushkin’s Restaurant (again) because it’s entirely gluten and dairy free, and remains one of the best brunches we’ve ever had.  They have a vegan menu too, although P wanted bacon and eggs so we didn’t regard that menu this time. They don’t even have (cow) butter on the premises!  They make everything – hollandaise, baked… Read more >

Snow day

Notice anyone missing from the family photo??? Poor Kyle was up all night with a stomach bug – a mere 8 hours after arriving home.  The combo of jet lag and a compromised immune system from all his travel plus some random stomach thing just put his body over the edge.  He was a sweaty, shaking, nauseated mess the next morning.  We were supposed to hit the road early to avoid traffic and bad weather, but Kyle was iffy on whether he’d be able to go.  So in the meantime, I fed the kids and my… Read more >

I missed rabbit rabbit

I have so much to say but I’m so exhausted.  Last time Kyle was gone the kids were sick but at least I was healthy.  This time I’m sick (too) and there’s only so long that you can fake it. But I will forge ahead because he is coming home soon and we have so much fun stuff planned this weekend. You know what people email me the most about?  Well, allergy stuff mostly, but aside from that I get asked how we do “media free” for the kids.  I haven’t ever responded in a formal… Read more >

Arts and crafts and meals

My photos got uploaded in reverse order which was semi annoying to fix and I almost just blogged the day in reverse but then figured I may as well just keep things in chronological order.  But then it got me thinking why I cared at all…what’s the difference in doing the day backwards?  Dessert to breakfast, with tid-bits from the day stuck in.  Maybe another time.  In any event, here’s the maple walnuts scone that I inhaled (with almond butter) from Pushkin’s.  This was an amazing a$$ pastry.  I have zero things I could say… Read more >
