Surprise! I figured I’d throw back to the old days and do a series of live blogs today! Breakfast, lunch, and dinner – hold on to your hats! Haha.
Mazen woke me up at 7, as he usually does, with snuggles in my bed. His latest thing is running across a room and saying “HUGGIE!” and today he did that and dove under the covers with me. It’s the best way to wake up! (Actually I was already awake and checking emails on my phone, but still : ) )
We were not alone, though, because Thomas and Gus have moved in with us! After a long time of going back and forth, we decided to consolidate our lives here, and we are so happy <3 He is renting out his house (which he owns and renovated), so that’s been a great financial bonus for him too.
Good morning Gussie!
Thomas’s full pot of delicious regular coffee has definitely had an impact on my caffeine adventures ; ) Full mug of regular today – no more, no less.
I made banana pancakes for breakfast per Anne’s recipe:
We had mango on the side. The best way to cut a mango is to slice off each cheek and then cut those into thirds and eat them like you would orange slices.
Mazen and I shared the pancake, plus he had a little smoothie.
He’s been playing postman this morning, and he wrote me a love letter and delivered it. It was a jumble of letters, but I made out “From” and “Mama” in the mix.
I gotta run or we’ll be late for preschool!! See you for lunch!
I’ve never heard of a live blog post, that’s such a great idea! Love your breakfasts as usual. 🙂

I’m so happy for you! Love and happiness always to you! 🙂
Ah totally old KERF! I’ve beeen reading since 2011 😉 love that big dollop of nut butter 😉
So happy for all of you 🙂
Fun! I’ve been reading since nearly the beginning and love these live posts (though totally understand that you don’t have time to do them all the time). BIG congratulations on T moving in!!!
Wooo! I love this post! So, so happy for you.
Love this!! You’ve got me excited to check back in today. Old school KERF and a happy couple (family) are both wonderful things!
Awesome news! Im sure Mazen is thrilled to have Gus around full time!! Although you might need a new vacuum for the hair!
Haha so far I am dying. Roomba helps!! Worth it though!
I’m so happy for you! I love old school KERF!
Congratulations on moving in together and consolidating! I’m sure Mazen will love having the pup around!! : )
This will be fun can’t wait to read about the rest of your day!
how has Mazen handled Thomas moving in? He’s had a lot of chsnges in a short space of time.
He has done great. He loves Thomas and Gus so when Mazen and I talked about it he saw it as a good, exciting thing. And it might seem like a short period of time to you guys but it feels like a long time to us, the livers of the life 🙂
Yaas girl! I love the daily journal blog style.
How exciting that you have new roommates! I love mango too, and have been eating a ton of it since finding this easy way to peel it. I don’t know where I heard about this, and in fact I could have learned it from you, but this is life changing. 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGOgM6yo-E0
Love the throwback post, Kath! I used to read your breakfast post every morning 🙂 Happy for you and Thomas!! <3
Been reading for years…I loved the live blog posts! Hope you consider this more often!!
That’s so exciting! I bet it’s quite the change to have all that dog hair floating around! Has he started sleeping on the bed with anyone yet? 😉
Haha no, he’s well trained so he doesn’t get on furniture.
Proceeds to check in another three times today like its 2007 🙂
Caitlin! I got so excited to see your name <3 I hope you're doing well. I was a long time reader of your blog.
Kath, I love this style of blogging. What a nice treat! But I totally understand you don't have time for it anymore. Enjoy your day!!
Love the throwback approach – and I’m so happy for you guys! Glad you are still enjoying my pancake recipe, too! 🙂 xo
Yay – I LOVED your old style Kerf posts! 😀
I’m So happy for you (and Mazen, Thomas and Gus)
Fun! Yay for old school posts!
Yay, congratulations! When you know, you know! Especially in your 30s, quite different from dating as a teen or in your 20s! I would love to hear how you’ve merged two homes into one, with all of the various physical belongings that come with that process. I know you have a complete household, and I assume that T has one also (only assuming because you said he owns a home as well). Maybe an idea for a blog post in the future? 🙂
So true.
I’d consider a post on the topic, but it wasn’t all that complicated. He didn’t have a lot of things in each category because it was just him at his house before, and he wasn’t particularly attached to a lot of his furniture/housewares. Anything sentimental we made room for, and we’re still working on finding spots for artwork, etc.
That’s great! I wish I had the problem of not having that much stuff! LOL I so need to declutter!
SO COOL you have a dog living in your house now. And Labs are so great. 🙂
My son is 16 months and I truly love this age but Amazon sounds so unbelievably lovey and adorable as well! I can’t wait for that age either!!
Amazon! Voice texting? Haha!
I have missed these kind of posts (long time reader here!) More please!
Congrats on the recent move-in! I am so happy for you! 🙂 🙂
The key to dog hair is to Swiffer (dry) a few times a day. The vacuum just stirs it up. I got some micro fiber cloths and use those on my swiffer so I’m not buying the pads all the time.
Happy habitating!
That’s a good idea!
Love the live posts…I’ve so missed them! Please write them more often!
Congratulations on the moving in together – exciting!!!
