Anticipating a busy morning, I started with a bowl of overnight oats. Pumpkin mixed in with granola and almond butter on top!

We got up, got dressed and got going to the bakery to meet up with Matt and Amanda, aka Mandine, who is visiting from the Great Harvest franchise office.

The three of us headed out into the county to the Local Food Hub warehouse for their Community Food Awards luncheon

The babe slept for a good part of the ride, but he began to stir during the awards, so I strolled him back towards the car and we nursed in there before lunch.

We arrived back for a delicious local foods lunch featuring the following:

We headed back to the bakery for a while and then Mazen and I went home to nurse and chill a bit before dinner. After 3 nights of excellent sleep, last night was quite difficult with wake-ups every 1-2 hours again. I was with him the whole night, so I had very little sleep! We took a nap together this afternoon that made us feel much better.

Then we got dressed and headed out for a night in the country with Mandine!

  5. OMGHAPPYBIRTHDAY!!!! Haha. I just can’t get enough of pumpkin this year. I have it for breakfast almost everyday.

    And those apple favors are such a great idea! Way healthier than the usual candy favors.

    What big plans do you have to celebrate your birthday? More cake? 🙂

  17. Happiest of birthdays, Kath! I hope it’s full of smiles from Maze, sunshine, and cake! Wish we could toast you in person but well do it from the left coast.

  19. Happy birthday, Kath! I also turned 30 this year. Hard to believe, no? Also, can I ask what blush you wear? I love it and think we have similar coloring. Enjoy your birthday!

  22. Happy Birthday, Kath!

    I had overnight oats for breakfast for the first time this morning following your general recipe. I mixed in chia seeds, pepitas, and pumpkin butter this morning. Delicious and filling! Thanks for introducing me to a delicious, easy, and filling new breakfast option. 🙂

  27. Looks like a day of delicious eats. Glad to see you’re eating more. For awhile there, I was wondering whether you were getting enough calories (I know I was ravenous when I breastfed). P.S. What’s up with Matt and Mandine smushing their faces into each other?

  33. That pizza looks insane. You can tell it is the perfect pie! Crispy crust, gooey mozzarella and a savory sprinkle of parm. YUM I think pizza is officially in my future. Have a fabulous day, Kath and Maze!

  54. Happy birthday, Kath!!! You’ve got a lot to celebrate this year 🙂 Have a wonderful time with your beautiful family. PS Mazen is really starting to look like a little boy – it’s hard to believe he’s losing the “infant” look already. He is so precious!

  60. It’s so nice to see that you take Mazen out and about with you. It looks like you guys always have a good time no matter where you go and who you’re with!

    I want to wish you a very Happy Birthday! I’m always so glad to get to share in your adventures and I hope you get gifts as wonderful as the ones you give to us everyday! (Now go brush your teeth, I might’ve given you a cavity!) 😉

  66. A friend recommended your blog and I just wanted to say that I love it! I’m 6 months pregnant with our first (a girl!) and it’s inspiring to see that you’re both cooking and getting out and about with a newborn. This local food festival looks amazing (and made this pregnant lady hungry!). 🙂

    Happy birthday, too!

  69. Happy Birthday! I am a longtime reader (since Jan. 2008) but have never commented. I had to join the conversation to tell you that for the past couple of weeks, my Google Calendar has dutifully been sending me reminders that a good college friend and my cousin had birthdays coming up on 10/26. I kept thinking, “I know there’s someone else with that birthday. Don’t I have them all in my calendar? Who am I forgetting?” Turns out, it was you! I guess that’s what reading about your last 5 birthdays will do. Happy, happy 30th!

  74. Happy bday, beautiful! God bless you and your family of three this year 🙂

    We had the exact same night – up every 1-2 hours, goodness me, I’m hoping for a nap for both of us shortly here. Have an amazing weekend, mama!
