I am usually the first one to listen to Christmas music, but this year I haven’t given it a thought. It’s still October right? But this video – OMG – it is the most hilarious thing I’ve ever seen! And it sparked a little holiday season joy into my day.
This cutie also sparked some joy! He is at such a fun age (although I think most parents say that about every age : ))
Breakfast today was fried egg, buttered toast and clementine. The return of all the citrus is making me think of winter as well!

I had a simple yogurt bowl yesterday – 2% greek, raspberries, sunflower butter. I am back on sunbutter after realizing that the organic kind I had was NOT the same as Trader Joe’s, which is significantly better!
Breakfast smoothies were on the menu this week. I packed a lot of goodness into the blender – spinach, banana, frozen berries, milk, oats and chia seeds.
Leftovers always refill the popsicle mold! This is the mold I have and it’s great because the pops are so little that they don’t melt before he has a chance to eat them.
I’ve also been living at the Juice Laundry these past few weeks. Since doing the 30 for $30 at Fly Dog I go to yoga and stop in for a smoothie on my way home. The Coco Verde is my favorite! Plus some Good Phyte crackers.
I’ve been doing lots of yoga (2-3 times a week) during this month, and also did a home workout at Sarah’s house last week. I’ve always debated whether or not I’d enjoy having a little home gym. I think it would be great to have a treadmill for quick workouts, but I don’t know if I would use a bunch of weights or not. I like going to the real gym for social time too, so I don’t think a home gym is something I’d invest in. You never know though!
Salad lunch from Whole Foods supplemented with leftovers from home (squash, cheese, meatball)
Another day’s lunch was a No Bull Burger with a big pile of kale chips. Plus an apple!
Our dinners have been all over the place lately! We sausage and wild rice soup one night and had the leftovers the following night.
I had a light meatball and roasted squash dinner one night when I was heading to a Stella and Dot party just after.
We got Thai takeout last weekend for a change. Green curry is the best!! Plus some pork dumplings and a tofu dish.
Sarah had us over on Tuesday night and made a Cook Smarts sun-dried tomato pasta and tofu dish. SO good!! Served with some toasted Olive Sourdough from the bakery.
Last but not least, Mazen is obsessed with floor puzzles these days and they are the best!! They steal his attention for a good 30 minutes while he works on one. I bought him several of the Melissa and Doug ones, and he’s a whiz at all of them. We have the Map, Firetruck, Traffic Jam and Solar System. The Firetruck is the easiest and the Solar System has double the pieces, so it’s the hardest.
Have a great day guys!
Dog dinners? Haha I must be missing something because I do not understand the title of today’s post!?
Watch the video!!
OH my gosh! I haven’t even gotten past the video yet–it was sooo funny!!! Of course the cat was at the head of the table judgmentally staring at everyone! The “teen” texting, the batty “auntie” stealing silverware. HAHA
I love the teen too! And the uncle shaking his wine glass
I loved this video and had to share it with my family! Thank you for sharing and putting me in the holiday spirit 🙂
I love your yogurt bowls! And I just made a green Thai curry just last night…maybe it’s the winter weather that’s got us dreaming of a little exoticism 😛
An iPhone? I thought you were a die hard Android user… 😉
Recent convert!!
Hi Kath! Love your blog! May I ask what sports bra you are wearing with the blue workout top? Thank you!
It’s this one – Athleta Double Dare. Love it!
I love that popsicle mold! Can you share the brand? Thanks!
This is it!
Omg that video cracked me up. The texting teen! Too good.
That Solar System puzzle is my 3 year old’s FAVORITE. I had to start numbering the backs of the puzzles to correspond to the bag/box they go back in because my son has SO. MANY. Puzzles. 😀
I’d find it hard to resist Wholefood pretty much every day if we had them here!
I loved the food, colors, animal video and pics of M playing.
Have a great day Kath!
Kath, you are looking great- so strong!!! I’ve been really into PiYo lately, as well as live yoga once a week- it’s such a nice break from running for me!
Thank you : )
Floor puzzles are the best!!
For strength training in a home gym without a commitment to space, I would suggest the Spry Xertubes. You can really do a full body workout and they only take up a tiny amount of space. The higher resistances are still very challenging.
How does the nutrition info for the TJ’s sunbutter compare to the organic? I would guess the TJ’s has more sugar. I started making my own sunbutter, which is okay, but not as tasty as TJ’s, but I’m not sure I’m willing to up the sugar :-/
It does have more sugar, but I’m willing to take it for the deliciousness!
One of my dogs eats that brand. That would be Kenzie, my picky shih tzu. Adorable picture of Mazen. Look at those beautiful, healthy teeth!
You gave me the idea to get some of those big puzzles for our 3 year-son as he would love them! He absolutely loves firetrucks!
