Here’s a bit of life lately!
Life With Boys
Not only am I the mom of two boys, but my boys have friends who are boys and their cousin is a boy so it’s all boys all the time!!

Ice cream with the boys
Rocket games with the boys
Bubble tea with the boys
Bubble tea at Kung Fu Tea is our new favorite!
Shenanigans with boys
Pancakes with the boys
Mazen made his first batch of pancakes!! Look at Birch’s face when M added chocolate to his.
Pool time with the boys
Pirate games with the boys
Downtown adventures with the boys
Indoor pool swim –> Christian’s pizza!
Baseball games with the boys
Congrats to Allied Concrete!
Mazen’s Little League team won their league championship! This was Mazen’s first year in the Majors and it was a major change. Practice 2-3 times a week with multiple games.
Thomas and I both said during the championship game how much we enjoyed watching the games after not knowing if we would have at the beginning of the season. It was so great to have Mazen like something so much, and also to have his week filled with teamwork and outdoor fun. (It helps that we live 5 minutes from the field – if we were traveling all over I know I would not feel the same!)
Guitar Showcase
Mazen also takes guitar lessons and had a showcase a few weekends ago. Loved the song the wrote and played!
It’s a girl friend!
Birch and Fern, reunited at Pro Re Nata for an open mic night!
I always love those mountain views.
Spelling Bee
Birch has come so far with his spelling and letters!! He can read a lot of simple words. And he can sound out words to spell too. Note the Buzz Lightyear (minus a double Z!).
Tonies + Yoto
Birch is also obsessed with his Tonies and Yoto players!! This is the travel case we have. You can use it with kid headphones too.
We recently got some new Pixar cards for the Yoto and they have provided endless entertainment. These make such great bribes or when you really need to have them be occupied (like on a car trip) – pull out a new Yoto card!
OMG Something Girly!
I am obsessed with these nap earrings from Maison Miru. I generally put in studs and leave them in continuously until I need something dangly. But the pointy backs of my studs always hurt me at night. I love that these have flat backs so they won’t poke your neck!! Great for naps, overnights, and headphones.
The company sent me the Pave Bar, Gaia, and Small Infinity Hoops.
Survivor Finale (SPOILER)
Also girly: Survivor finale girls night out! Hillary and I went to the rooftop bar at the Quirk Hotel and had margs and a delicious dinner before watching Jam Jam take home the big W!
Kath Eats Real Food
Does anyone miss seeing real meals? I’ve been writing about my meals for so long (16 years this year!) that I find them quite boring. It should either be all meals or no meals. A few meals feels lame! Let me know what you think 😉

Blue Apron Pork + Rice Bowls
With peppers and sauce

Strange cauliflower = romanesco 😀
Kath Younger says
Haha yes!!! I always confuse that with romesco sauce.
Melissa says
I always love a good post of “life” & food!!!! Those are my favorites!
Barbara Lott says
I like your food ideas.
Kay says
I like “real Meals” posts. It gives me ideas
Morgan says
fern is so cute! What ever happened to the Sayas????
Jenn says
Don’t miss the real meals. I read the Asheville post that you linked to the other day where you documented how many bites and sips you ate of everything. MUCH prefer this style. It’s fine to evolve. Also don’t miss the coffee foam photo of the day 😉
Mary says
Keep the food posts! I think you keep a good balance of meal and lifestyle posts. 🙂
Melissa says
I don’t mind a few meals like added to this post.
Mona says
A weekly liveblog with 3 posts/day would be super nice 🙂
Nina says
I am interested in a Tonie or yoto for my almost 2.5 year old. When did your kids get into it? Do you think she is too young?
Thank you!
Kath Younger says
Definitely not too young for Tonies. I’d say Tonies at 3 and Yoto at 3/4.
Emily J says
Hi Kath! I prefer a meal or two mixed in with your life post. A whole list of meals is a bit boring to me.
Katie B says
One idea: document a random day of meals each week – what you and Thomas eat + what the kiddos actually eat. You could add additional posts if you enjoy fun/yum restaurant meals.
Kath Younger says
I think this is an idea to try!
