…Involves great communication and sunflower butter & jelly!
It’s the week of our 4-year wedding anniversary!! We’ll be celebrating with our bakery’s open house on Thursday night. Boy did 4 years fly by! (But did you know we’ve been together for nearly 10 years?! Read about how we met in this post.) Our wedding date was 6.2.07. Notice anything about the 6.2?!
Breakfast:
Perfect Marriage Oats
- 2 tbsp Scottish oats
- 2 tbsp rolled oats
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup milk
- Half banana
- Pinch salt
- 2 tbsp cottage cheese, stirred in at end
- Hemp Plus granola
- Sunflower butter
- Strawberry jam
Cool coffee (once the ice melted!) with chocolate mint
We are taking today totally off from the bakery under the recommendation of Great Harvest. When Tim told us to take a day off before this week starts, Matt and I looked at each other and smiled: “WINE TASTING!” It’s our very favorite romantic getaway. After all, we did spend our whole honeymoon drinking in wine country!
But after a week of eating in restaurants, I’m a little bit overfed and the thought of drinking all day wasn’t that appealing. We decided a hike would be just as fun and a bit more relaxing.
But when it came down to planning a hike, we decided we’d rather do stuff around the house and just relax. Weeding the garden. Mowing the grass. Reading a book. Veg day! I’m excited for another day to get our house in tip top shape for the busy week ahead – including a little prep cooking!

Congrats and Happy Anniversary, Kath and Matt…sounds like a perfect ‘chill’ day to me!
Have fun!
Congratulations! Enjoy your day off!
sunflower butter & jelly = great!
The Wine Country, one of my fave places on earth! I always have said, could live in Napa or Sonoma if it werent for the cold winters. Yes, Im a wuss and that’s cold to me now
I think it’s great that you took a “vacation” from work but stayed home and are being productive doing the things that you want to do. That’s the BEST way to use a day off: doing exactly what YOU WANT to be doing!
How cool that your anniversary is this week + the bakery opening!
I love lazy days at home, enjoy!
Enjoy your veg day before life goes into full swing!
You will be so happy following out your dream and so much energy will come from within!
Very excited for you and it inspires me to keep going on my own business journey.
How about a late afternoon Monticello Trail walk?
I am so happy for you two! I hope you have an incredible day off today! Enjoy each other and congrats on the anniversary to come! It is so special when you can do something you love with the one you love!

Scottish oats? Sooo many types of oats lol. What do they taste like, and what is the texture?
They’re blended steel cut.
Ahhh, *want*!
How fitting that you and Matt will be embarking on another amazing journey in your life as you celebrate your anniversary. Congrats!
Happy Anniversary, Kath! I still think you and Matt are the cutest couple around. Well, almost as cute as sunflower seed butter and jelly!
happy anniversary week! So excited for your bakery to open
Sometimes the best days of relaxation for me are also the ones where I have ample time to get the house and my life organized and clean, so I know exactly how you feel! Congratulations on your 4 year anniversary coming up – you two clearly will have many more to celebrate together
You two have every reason to celebrate!
LOL that pic of Matt cracks me up! I swear I have the same one of Eric…
Happy Anniversary week! Have fun veggin.
You insirted me with the cottage cheese – I just picked some up at the farmer’s market.
i LOVE that pic of your hand where you just see the wine glasses and rings. Very neat shot.
Apparently I can’t type, eat, and proof read. Sorry for the typos!
Enjoy your day off!
Congrats on anniversary week! We’re coming up on having been together 10 years too – and almost married for 2!
Congrats! Sounds like a plan…veg around the house
Why do I always feel I am just not able to make my oatmeal look this attractive? Seriously, no matter how I try, it never looks this good. Okay, I will stop complaining now – happy anniversary week to you!
congrats on your wedding week anniversary and GH opening week coming up! you definitely deserve/need a veg day!!!
Congratulations to you both, you look like a 16 yearold in the pic wearing the black top !!!!!

Congrats! May you both have many years of wedded bliss, and plenty of bread–that is an understatement, huh

Happy 4th anniversary to you both!
Happy anniversary week! You guys are adorable
Happy Anniversary!!
Happy almost anniversay. I’m so excited for the grand opening of GH!!!
You guys look so young in your honeymoon photos – adorable!! Happy anniversary week!!
Congrats on both! That’s is our exact Anniversary as well. I can’t believe it has been 4 years for us either. Funny we have also known eachother for about 10 years but didn’t have a romantic spark until about 6 years ago. I read your story on how you met. It is always fun to hear others stories. Thanks for sharing.

July is our 4 year anniversary – hooray for 2007 weddings! We always celebrate by following the traditional anniversary gifts – it’s a FUN way to celebrate our relationship. 4 years is flowers or fruit. Should be easy!! Cheers to you!
