Happy Feet

Just kickin’ it around here!

Foodblog-44

Mazen’s new booties in preparation for our farm wedding next weekend! I also ordered some denim items from Old Navy on sale – so cute! Hope they fit! Check out the red cords too ; )

Man is it nice to have Matt home in the mornings. I know it won’t last forever, but having breakfast made for me while I fed Maze was so nice!

Matt’s whipped banana oatmeal topped with Nature’s Plus granola and sunflower buttah

Foodblog-6144

Half caf coffee on the side – I made all decaf when it’s just me, but Matt likes to mix it up just a bit.

Foodblog-6143

Mornings are my happiest time. I can usually count on a nap in the carrier or wrap and get my post done, housework and dishes finished and a shower.

Somebody now likes bath time!! I made the water a bit warmer and put a warm washcloth on his stomach while I wash him and no crying at all! I think he might even like it.

Foodblog-6168

During nap #2, I made lunch –

Foodblog-6156

An AMAZING sandwich of smoked salmon, sharp white cheddar and capers on Cville Crunch. The breast [you know what’s on my mind

:mrgreen: this !
] bread was the best part!

Foodblog-6158

Apple slices with cinnamon on the side

Foodblog-6160

Mixed with some trail mix

Foodblog-6164

Lemonade was guzzled down. I need my water bottle strapped to my hand!

Foodblog-6161

This afternoon we met Aunt Faith for a walk. 2-ish miles downtown and back. I’m excited for more walking dates in the future!

Foodblog-01

We have been ever-so-thankful for all the homemade meals our wonderful friends have dropped by, and that has made cooking a bit more special again!

Foodblog-6179

We put together this tofu stir fry for a quick meal. Farmer’s market beans and garden peppers were sautéed in a wok with some safflower oil, soy sauce, brown sugar and garlic. Tofu was seared in more oil in another skillet until brown on all sides (be patient!) Matt made a reduction of more of the soy sauce + brown sugar mixture with a dash of apple cider vinegar in another small pot to pour on top. Served over leftover white rice for me and leftover whole wheat pasta for him!

Foodblog-6176

Sriracha on top!

Foodblog-6180

KK came over for a visit and magically got the baby to sleep in her arms, so she offered to stay and keep rocking him while we ate dinner and chatted. He loves his grandmother and her homemade blanket!

    • KathEats says

      September 27, 2012 at 8:31 am

      Only because of his unpredictable temperament and appetite. He likes walking until he’s hungry, but I never know when that will be! If I leave the house right after I feed him, then we’re usually good. Wait any longer and we risk it. Physically though, I’m ready to rock and roll!

    Hey Kath! Been reading every post but haven’t commented in ages.

    First, congrats to you and Matt on beautiful little Mazen. I’ve been enjoying reading about your adventures as new parents.

    Second, today I noticed you have watermarks on your photos. Is this new? Something you recommend for bloggers? (Even those of us with small blogs?) May I ask how that came about?

    • KathEats says

      It’s kind of up to you and how comfortable you feel with the potential for photo theft. I admit they detract from the photos just a bit, but I’m dealing with some copyrighted photo theft and this is one step I’m taking to keep KERF (and Mazen’s) photos protected.

    I had similar booties for my boys when they were little made out of a tie dyed wool with leather bottoms…I just loved them because they were the only booties that would stay on their feet when they started to crawl around…they had a leather tie that kept them snuggly on. The boys loved them too! All your meals look so darn yummy! Aren’t grandma’s wonderful! My boys just love theirs to bits! (Of course they love their Grandpa’s just as much!)

    I think the watermark looks great! It truly isn’t all that noticeable and is much less “loud” than a lot of seen! Doesn’t detract from your photos at all.

    I have a slightly baby-ignorant question: How do you decide when to have him in the Boba for walks or in that baby sling?

      This was my first day with the carrier and I liked it a lot. It’s more supportive so it’s probably better for walks whereas the wrap is better for household.

    You had it MADE with a husband and grandparents who help you out! I had 2 babies 13 months apart (both C-sections), a husband who worked 12 hours a day, and family who lived on the opposite side of the country! And one of our babies screamed all day long, only took tiny catnaps of 10-15 minutes, no matter what I did to sooth him. I thank God for good friends/neighbors who helped me out. I would’ve never made it without them.

    Good idea with the watermark. I don’t think it takes anything away from your great photos and if it protects you and your family from photo theft, then that’s what matters 🙂

    Didn’t notice the watermarks at all until the comments pointed it out. Probably a smart idea. So sorry to hear you are dealing with photo theft. That, along with all the judgmental comments I’ve been reading can’t be easy to deal with. I don’t know how you do it. I am such a sensitive person I think I’d be crying everyday. I hope you’re able to let all the criticism slide off your back. I’m just amazed at how insensitive people can be. Thanks for continuing with your blog. I admire your loyalty to your readers. That’s one thing(out of the many things) I LOVE about your blog. You are open and honest and care about your readers. Thanks for taking the time to read our comments and respond!

    Love those boots!!

    OK random question. . . now that you are breastfeeding do you notice you have more intense food cravings than compared to when pregnant or have the cravings leveled out? For some reason I did not have many cravings during pregnant but breastfeeding has caused my cravings to sky rocket (always want sweets and salty tortilla chips.). Wonder if this is also due to sleep deprivation? Just wondering if I am the only weirdo w/ this experience…

    Have a great day!

    Random and off topic comment, but I was in Trader Joe’s yesterday and they were sampling pumpkin soup (sold in cartons) with a dollop of creme fraiche. I normally hate all canned/carton-ed, etc soup (I swear I can taste the packaging or something), but this was SOOOO good. The creme fraiche made it extra dreamy. I picked up a couple of cartons…just thought you should check it out since I’m sure you’re looking for some quick and easy meals these days!

      We like it a lot – the newborn insert is great for being able to get under him easily, and he seems to like it. We bathe him in the kitchen sink (the tub fits inside our big kitchen sink). Also loving the Lavanilla bath foam soap!!

      I don’t because I feel like it’s just nuts, which don’t need to be. I think most of the time the rec. is to keep it from oil separation so if you don’t mind stirring a little, then it’s probably fine. *disclaimer though follow the factory instructions please 🙂 *

        You absolutely should refrigerate nut butter, ESPECIALLY natural nut butters. Nuts go rancid very easily and the last thing you want is to get sick- or sicken your family- from improperly stored food.

          Agreed on the proper storage – I advocate following the rules! But I’ve never had it go rancid on me.

    The baby clothes are adorable! I think boys clothing has become way cuter over the years.

    If any of your readers want to make booties like the ones Mazen is wearing, they can purchase a pattern for similar crocheted booties here:

    I don’t know this designer, I just searched for patterns on Ravelry and this one looked the most promising.

    I don’t really understand the purpose of a watermark. Does the presence of one automatically make it illegal for other sites to re-post your pictures?

    • KathEats says

      September 27, 2012 at 3:27 pm

      It’s already illegal. The watermark is a reminder of this.

        Got it – that makes sense! Thanks for replying. I’m not a blogger so I wasn’t clear on how these things work. And as everyone has said above, your watermark is really subtle and doesn’t take away from your wonderful pictures at all!

        Hi Kath – I appreciate that fact that you would like to protect your photos, for which you hold the copyright by virtue of being the photographer. However, watermark or no, you may want to brush up on the fair use doctrine, codified at 17 U.S.C.§ 107 – you can read more about it at http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html. Images may be reproduced legally under this doctrine for purposes of “criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.” So the context of the re-posting is important, and under federal law may in fact be legal. The court will consider the “effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work” as well as whether it is being reproduced for commercial v. non-profit purposes. Hopefully this info is helpful!

          Hey Emily, well stated 🙂 I’ve been meeting with a copyright lawyer here who believes that a few photos posted on a site with no ads would be considered fair use, but repeatedly and regulary posting my photos on a site with ads (= commercial) crosses the theft line.

    Those are adorable boots! Did somebody make them or did you buy them that way? Super cute! I can’t wait to see him in his little cowboy getup. 🙂

    I bet he will start loving his baths. That used to totally relax my kids at night and get them ready for bed.

    Mazen is changing so quickly. His face seems to change more and more. What a cutie!

    Does Maze cry when you take him out of the bath? My daughter loves the bath but screams her head off when I take her out. We have yet to find the perfect solution. We are currently warming the towel in the dryer while she is in the bath and that helps a little but it still isn’t amazing.

      We’ve been lucky – no. I have the towel right there and we just rub him down. Not sure – maybe she just loves it sooo much!

    Hey, friend–the booties are adorbs. Just curious–why decaf? Do you prefer decaf? I’m a coffee addict and I was so thrilled to start drinking it again. I probably have 3 cups/day and S. isn’t affected one bit. If you LIKE the caffeine, maybe you could give it a try? You deserve a little pick-me-up. 🙂 Perhaps the caffeine makes M. colicky? I just thought I’d throw it out there that it works for me and makes my days 100% happier. 🙂

      I’m super caffeine sensitive and get addicted/headaches really easily, so since weaning myself off a year ago, I haven’t wanted to get back into it full time. I do love coffee, just not the jitters! I probably have a real cup once a week or so?

    Hi Kath- lovely pictures today as usual! I was just wondering, do you live in a 2 or 3 bedroom house? Just curious as we will soon have our own little one and we’re converting the guest bedroom into the baby’s room, and we’re trying to get creative as to where guests will be staying after that.
    It seems that we have a very similar style of house/decor.

    The red cords for the kiddo made my day. I have been obsessed with red pants since a trip to Paris in May and so far the search has been futile. Lately it seems that everyone except me has red pants, and Mazen’s pair confirms that this is indeed the case.

    That is a nice piece of equipment, when the child is a bit older he can sit in it face forward and enjoy the view.
