My highlights: week 6

My little boy is no longer a baby.   Happy first birthday patty-cakes.  You are the biggest source of joy I have ever known.  Obviously the boxes and wrapping were more exciting than the actual presents.   We had a little party with our closest family and friends.  It was pretty perfect. Pacman muffin. 🙂 I had the same breakfast 4 days this week thanks to these GF lemon streusel muffins by Udi’s.    Sorry for the hyperbole, but they are SOOO good.  I don’t usually go gaga for lemon things, but they actually aren’t mega… Read more >

Eating out with a child with allergies

Whether or not you have a baby with allergies, dining in public is a small adventure each and every time.  But when you have to worry about how clean the tables/chairs are, or if the last diner ate something with nuts and there’s residue on the furniture, or…the list goes on and on…it’s enough to overwhelm a rookie parent! I’m not an expert by any means, but here are some of the ways I make it easier and safer for me and P.   BYO wipes.  I love these ones by Burt’s Bee – they… Read more >

My highlights: week 5

This week went by bleepin’ FAST.  [Side note: I have to get my swearing in check now that P understands everything I’m saying!!  Words are now real things with meaning.  Talk about a reality check.] Last weekend was a snooze with that lame Super Bowl, although I did grab brunch at Cafe Bernardo with a former co-worker.   I brought P (with his eggs and such in a tupperware) and he was the perfect gentleman – minimal puffs and banana bits made their way to the floor (although I always clean that stuff up at… Read more >

My highlights: week 4

  Pretty much my breakfast all week.    Except for this one.  With nomnompaleo’s cinnamon banana coconut pancakes.  Thanks for the suggestion Ttrockwood.  🙂   Hipster babe. Brussels before and after.  I used this recipe and it’s my new favorite way to eat ze sprouts.  For the record, I’m not a picky one with the cruciferous category (I love all my greens in sickness and in health), but Kyle is and he loved them too…so if that’s any indication of the yum factor, there you go. omgomgomgomgomg [fingers crossed] You all know about that whole… Read more >

My highlights: week 3

I spent last weekend at my parents’ house because Kyle is out of town and I figured it would be more fun to have company while watching the 49ers game (sad outcome).     Think he likes the pets??  If his first word isn’t ball, it will probably be dog.  It’s hard to say which he’s more obsessed with.    This is the only meal I photographed over the weekend.  I could eat roasted vegetables for every meal always.  P doesn’t like Brussels sprouts, but I’m not too bummed because it means more for me.  He… Read more >
