Birch Is Three!

Happy 3rd birthday to my little baby! 

Three years ago (three days after my b-day and a week after his due date!) Birch was born. 

Birch's birth story this !

And here he is – a Threenager!

The many faces of Birch

If you know him, you know he has a big range of emotions. From “beak out” (when he shyly pouts his upper lip) to sassy face to belly laughs, you never know what you’re going to get!



He looks so much like Thomas did as a little boy

People say he has my eyes, but he’s mostly dad! 

Birch thinks Mazen Hangs The Moon

And these two can get into some trouble together…

Seriously, Birch listens to Mazen better than he listens to me! 



He is 100% sweetness

Loves: Trucks, Blippi, all fruit, playgrounds, his “GoGo Car,” sleep (KNOCK ON WOOD), all books

Dislikes: getting out of the bath, all meat, sticky hands

Here’s some snippets of life lately

(I’ll be back with a double birthday week recap next week!)

Pumpkin + Apple Picking

We went to Chiles Orchard just outside of Cville on a sunny afternoon a few weeks ago. The boys had a great time.

And the best news is….they have been asking for apples for snack ever since! We’ll be doing many more pick-your-own experiences for this very reason : ) 

Good Eats

A bazillion bagels #breakfastoftheyear

I recently tried the lox spread from Bodos and OMG it’s soooo good. Even for breakfast!!

Overnight Oats with almond butter and strawberry

Lunch Salads + Leftover bowls

Lots and lots of delicious Blue Apron dinners!

Seared lemon caper steaks with roasted potato wedges and kale

Pesto Gnocchi with breadcrumbs and butternut squash

LOVED THIS! We enjoyed dinner outside while the kids decorated for Halloween!

Chicken, apple rice + kale

Two days, two ways


Shrimp pasta with greens and oregano breadcrumbs

Burger night

Fall Decorating

We’ve been getting ready for Halloween and took Mazen to his favorite scary store – Spirit Halloween.

Mazen has loved this store since he was little

And Birch screamed bloody murder. He was TERRIFIED of the scary talking monsters and we had to leave quickly!

Pumpkins From Target

We also hit up Target, which was pretty picked over for Halloween décor, but I picked up some cute cloth pumpkins for us to bring out each year.

These little guys

And this bigger plaid one

And we bought this guy. Target is on point with the skeletons this year!

Family Fun Times

And last but not least: I voted!

    Our family enjoys Blue Apron meals also, but it seems like you have different options that aren’t on my menu each week. Do you get advanced choices through your partnership with them?

      My choices are all the same as the public’s – same weeks. But I am often writing about meals that were ordered/cooked a few weeks prior, so that might be why you no longer see them on the menu?
