Naps are Definitely still needed!

Not that I thought otherwise, but now I know for sure, naps are definitely still needed! My precious baby girl didn't get one yesterday and by 4pm, she was perfectly happy. Yep, you heard right, a smiling little angel, as long as she got her way! But God forbid anything not go exactly the way she wanted! She was completely falling apart over every … [Read more...]



Forcing my kids to have fun

Why do I have to drag my son, kicking and screaming to do something incredibly fun?! He loves his Karate class! He started last year and we tried out a bunch of other martial art studios, but he fell in love with this one (I highly recommend Rod Sanford Martial Arts in Soquel! http://sanfordkarate.com/ ) and only wanted to go there. So we've been … [Read more...]



Appreciating the Great Things in Life

Now that I've caught you up on those oh so important current events (see previous posts today) I have been reflecting on what an amazing thing it was that I was able to throw a great party this weekend for my baby girl. Warning, get ready for sappiness! I had to stop and just really appreciate life today. I have such an awesome one! I am so in … [Read more...]



Can’t live without Hummus

Here's the hummus recipe that was a big hit! And cheaper than the store bought hummus I always buy (though I love Trader Joes hummus, especially the edemame flavor). My son will not eat vegetables, chicken strips, or fish sticks without his precious hummus, so I had wanted to make some for a while, however, every recipe calls for tahini. Being an … [Read more...]



Blueberry Cake is Heaven!

I later made cupcakes! Yum! This is where I found the fabulous blueberry cake recipe for my daughter's birthday! It was so good, I was actually disappointed there was none left over! I may have to make another one. I doubled the recipe and used a 13"x9" cake pan. Ok, actually I used a casserole dish because I'm not cool enough to have every … [Read more...]



Highest and Lowest in Two Days

Oh Happy day!  The birthday party for my 2 year old girl was a success!  I found out Costco closes early on Saturday (what's up with that?!) and had to jam across town and brave the Sunday morning lines, making it back a little late for the party... I mean we planned on a grand entrance, right? Family came from out of town, friends … [Read more...]



Happy Birthday Little Trouble Maker

This little angel is at this very moment climbing up on a stool, reaching into the cupboard, and getting the box of fruit snacks down all by herself...... (me stepping away for a moment)..... and now she is screaming and stomping her feet because I put them away (she already had some). I gave her some crackers, but apparently that was unacceptable! … [Read more...]



Evil little monster named Self Doubt

I had made a decision! I was sticking with it, no turning back. But in one afternoon self doubt came crashing down and I was suddenly filled with anxiety and back to square one! I don't like having things up in the air, if I have an important decision to make I will research obsessively, ask questions of anyone and everyone until I'm sure they try … [Read more...]

I miss the days when the kids would freely play ou I miss the days when the kids would freely play outdoors. Rocks & streams, sticks & flowers, their toys of choice. They're older now and drawn and to technology. They still have a love of nature, but it takes a push to get them to go outside and their play is different now. How do you get your big kids or #teens outdoors? ⁠
