A couple days ago Holden told me he had to go to the office and have his hair checked. That only meant one thing. Rhymes with rice. I guess it’s “going around”. And it is NOT fun. You can read about our experience a couple years ago when Elliott got it in Kinder here, here [...]
My Friend Vicki gave us a HUGE zucchini from her community garden plot last week and I decided to go {sweet} with it rather than the usual savory. : Coconut Almond Zucchini Bread : 3 cups AP flour 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. baking powder 3 eggs 1 cup vegetable oil [...]
Happy Tuesday! Popping in to tell you about a new concoction I threw together yesterday morning that I am hooked on… Raspberry Steel Cut Oats Raspberries were super cheap at Ralphs this week so I grabbed a few containers. I like to make 2 or 3 servings of oats and then have them ready for [...]
I love coconut. I think I lived on a tropical island in a previous life. Here are some of my faves….. I recently discoverd Silk Vanilla Coconut milk… {delish in coffee and cereal! today I made blueberry steel cut oats and added a splash of this and a tablespoon of grated coconut ~ yum!} I [...]
On Monday afternoon I fixed my Pops and me an iced coffee with Coconut Creme coffee-mate ~ it was the perfect warm afternoon pick-me-up. I thought I’d try it blended and make a frugal girl’s version of a Mocha Coconut Frappucino. All you need is come chilled {strong} coffee, crushed ice, Coconut Creme coffee-mate, Splenda, [...]

Elliott doesn’t have school today. Staff Development. It was SO nice to know that we didn’t have to rush, rush, rush this morning. Get up. Go potty. Get dressed. Eat breakfast. Pack lunch. Get backpack ready. Brush teeth. Brush hair. Wipe face. Put shoes & socks on. Dash out the door. Walk to school. I [...]
It’s toasty today…we were wimps and stayed inside this afternoon. Jay had to go into the office for a bit so while the kiddos stamped and crayoned some birthday cards for “Baby Ryan”, I tested a marshmallow on a stick idea and bling’d my first pair of Havaianas. ***** I unfortunately discovered Kraft “Toasted Coconut” [...]
Even though Holden was at the edge of our bed at 5:46am holding a diaper and wipe just waiting patiently for me to open my eyes, our Thursday got off to a great start. I managed to get him out of his jammies and dressed prior to 8:00 ~ this is a feat in itself. [...]
