Once Upon A Nap

Once upon a time, there was a little boy who was not sleepy. He had too many friends to keep him busy!

Foodblog-0333

He and his mama lived in a castle that served heaping bowls of pumpkin every morning for breakfast

Foodblog-0303

Filled with Greek yogurt, pumpkin, spices, banana, Honey Bunches, chia seeds and peanut butter.

Foodblog-0307

The hot coffee flowed all day and night in a moat surrounding their castle

Foodblog-0302

The little boy loved to play with toys made out of gold

Foodblog-0309

And his mama loved to eat eggs, also filled with liquid gold

Foodblog-0341

Foodblog-0349

{Poached egg for the win! Thanks to the dash of apple cider vinegar!}

Foodblog-0344

The little boy was friends with a dragon

Foodblog-0332

Who could make healthy food real by breathing fire on a plate.

Foodblog-0345

The dragon encouraged the family to eat their greens because he was green. So they topped their salads with pecans, goat feta and olive oil.

Foodblog-0347

The little boy loved to read stories with his mama atop a flying carpet

Foodblog-121512

He also had magical powers and could catch mysterious space objects

Foodblog-121219

As their favorite afternoon activity, the boy’s mama could snap her fingers and make all of the diapers fold themselves.

Foodblog-0356

The family had to exercise to keep their magic sharp, so they went to the gym to take a lean conditioning class with Princess Faith. The mom ate this bar made from the fruits of money trees before her class began. The little boy had fun playing with dragon children at the gym!

Foodblog-160504

When they returned home from their adventure, the King was there to join them for supper.

Foodblog-0368

A fairy princess named Jen brought the family a magical lasagna for dinner. The boy’s mama had brought Jen and her new baby a meal a few weeks ago and Jen insisted on returning the favor. The family accepted the lasagna with glee since it had already been made by Jen’s prince and his secret family recipe.

Foodblog-0360

The lasagna – a classic meat + cheese layer delight – was wonderful and filled the family with happiness. Everyone enjoyed seconds.

Foodblog-0367

A side salad topped with goat cheese and Jen’s fairy dust completed the meal.

Foodblog-0364Foodblog-0363

But the most magical moment of all was the bite of Tar Heel Pie Jen brought for dessert. {Recipe similar to this!}

In. Credible.

Foodblog-0369

The little boy had so much fun that he became sleepy. He took 4 solid 1.5 hour+ naps in his swing with white noise and a swaddle wrap to make him feel snug. And then he was well rested and his parents were happy.

Foodblog-0355

And they lived happily ever after!

      Just my opinion…but we never had a problem with using swings for nap. It doesn’t always cause problems. My babies all loved their swings but it never affected their nighttime sleep and they eventually outgrew the need for movement.

        December 5, 2012 at 1:17 pm

        I agree with Lisa 100%. I have three children who did exactly the same. My youngest is nearly 7 months old and now prefers crib naps.

        December 5, 2012 at 5:09 pm

        According to Dr. Harvey Karp babies under 3 months still need movement for sleep! They went from 24/7 movement in the womb to maybe half that. My son sleeps at night in his pack n play by our bed just fine but is much more picky for naps. He prefers to sleep on my husband or I which I love but it is definitely not something I wanted to continue. We got him to sleep in the bouncey seat but it is only for 30 minutes max. Started using the swing with swaddle and white noise and he will nap 1.5-2 hours. When he has solid naps during the day he sleeps much better at night. Glad to hear your kids had no problem Lisa!

      We started gradually – maybe a month ago? And we’re using them full time now. I’ll try to do an update soon! I like them a lot, but we’re having issues with leaking, which is a huge pain in the BUM!

        Awesome. Can’t wait to see it! I found out about them when my daughter was over a year old, and by that point, starting that late, I just couldn’t make myself spend the money on the diapers when she would be potty trained shortly. Grant it, she didn’t potty train until after three, but I didn’t know that at the time of course LOL.

    Hi Kath,

    I’ve been reading for a long time but don’t think I’ve ever posted a comment before. First, congrats on your beautiful family! Mazen is really adorable. I guess what brings me out of the shadows today is the style of this post. I started reading your blog (and really continue to do so) to get healthy food/living ideas. I thought the point of the baby blog was to sort of separate the two so that this blog could continue being about what you ate and how you worked out. Obviously the occasional picture of Mazen is always welcome! I guess I just did not really enjoy reading this post and I thought it would be a much better fit on the baby blog.

    Obviously a lot of readers disagree based on the comments so far! I just thought I’d say something in case other readers felt like me and didn’t feel comfortable saying so. I realize it is your blog and it will go in whatever direction you choose to take it, but I thought I would share my thoughts.

    What a lovely little fairy tale!
    Totally of subject, but do you use cloth diapers for Mazen? If so, what brand do you use and what diaper covers do you like best? I’m currently 27 weeks pregnant with our first child and definitely want to go the cloth diaper route, but I’m at a total loss as to which ones to get. Any advice you have would be wonderful!

      I have started to use them almost full time. We have a mix of brands that were given to us used by a blog reader (see this post!) You can see the brands there. So far I like the Bumgenius and the Blueberry the best, I think. It’s so hard to tell. I should be taking notes!

    Hi Kath,

    Could you please fill me in on what you prefer better…acorn squash or butternut? I am following your lead and trying to roast them for the first time ever. Chopping into little squares and w/ Olive oil will roast for 30 mins at 400′. Does that sounds right? Going to use whatever we have leftover for salads and such during the day.

    Also, what is the difference between Olive oil and Canola oil? Love reading this blog about your meals. I am inspired 🙂

    Maze is adorable too!!!
    Thanks for your help,

      Hey Amy,

      It’s a toss up on which one is more delicious. If you want to cube it for salads, go with butternut. It’s a pain to peel and chop (microwave it for a few minutes and let it cool a bit first so it’s easier to cut), but worth it in the end. Acorn is better for slicing and roasting in slices with the skin on (you may or may not eat the skin depending on the friendliness of your intestines!).

      Here is a fabulous chart on oils – I’d use olive oil for this roasting: http://www.eatingrules.com/Cooking-Oil-Comparison-Chart_02-22-12.pdf

    Kath, I enjoy your blog posts. I have been following you for years. I also love how you incorporate your adorable baby! He looks so happy and healthy. I look forward to seeing more healthy/food news with baby boy by your side. (And Matt, he’s such good hubby!) Congrats on the beautiful healthy growing family.

    Your coffee photo/comment made me think of a song that my husband and I listened to often when our daughter (who wasn’t very thrilled with the idea of naps) was little. It’s called The Coffee Song by Ralph Covert. It’s worth a listen when you have a moment!

    How can I possibly add something new to this conversation? It’s impossible, but I can’t resist because this post was so charming and creative. With gorgeous and delicious-looking food photos to boot! Thank you, Kath.

    Love that pic of you and Mason! You look so pretty and Mason so cute! I’ve got a quick question for you.. What are some of your all time favorite cereals? I need a new one to spice up my mornings! I’ve already loved on Quaker Oats and H2H so I was just curious what a healthy delicious new cereal would be for me! Thanks so much. Also I am loving your lil Christmas tree it’s so adorable!

      🙂 his name is actually Mazen, but inspired by Mason!

      I like any cereal with recognizable ingredients and store brands tend to be cheaper. Whole Foods brand wheat waffles is a favorite, shredded wheat, Cheerios kinds, Bran flakes.

          Dear Kath,
          if I may ask about Cutie Pie’s name: I am sure you have explained it, but I have missed it. How did you come up with such an unique name? I am foreigner and it sounds so exotic to my ears. It is lovely indeed 🙂

    I agree with everyone else….cutest post and family ever! and the food looks wonderful. I love that people say that do not have time to make food and yet you just had a baby, workout, work, blog, etc…and you find time to do it all. Truly a joy to read your posts, Kath. Love that cute baby dragon!

    I was reading your “Real Health” Blog post on exercising after having your baby and had a question in the comments, but it was deleted! I hate when that happens. Maybe a random computer ate it? Who knows? My question was, when you do at-home work-outs, what does Mazen do? Do you wait till naptime? Or does he watch you get into shape? Physical fitness is so important for children, I would want to get my little one involved ASAP. He seems like such a content baby that he might enjoy observing like that, after a nap, obviously. Looking forward to your next post, I got a ton of ideas from your “Snacks” article!!!

      Hey Ella,
      I mentioned in the article that i haven’t really done any yet – it was a goal of mine. Right now when he’s so young, I think it would be easier to do them during naps (if we get them – part of the reason I haven’t done any home workouts!) but as they get older, I think involving them in exercise would be great.

      Did you try to comment through the Facebook plugin? That’s odd that your comment went missing. I wonder how many others that has happened to.

        Yes, I did use the Facebook Comment System. It actually happened on another article of yours too! I think the birth story one? It was the video with you and Matt and Mazen talking about your Doula. There were 3 or 4 comments, don’t remember the specific question, just that I would be my Best Friend’s labor buddy and was looking for tips from Matt. He’s practically an expert now that you 2 are parents! Maybe there is some sort of “bug” over at “Real Health”?

    Hello to you, Kath,
    I have read your blog for some time (had googled ‘kale chips’ ages ago and have been hooked since!) but this time, you have outdone yourself. I’m surely late to the party and apologise to not have time right now to read everyone’s comments, but this post was DARLING. Heavens! It has put a smile on my face, which is undoubtedly a terrific way to start the day. Thank you!

    Fun post!

    Btw, just tried my first No Bull Burger on Sunday. I’ve been watching you eat them for a while and I’ve been curious. I spoke to Elizabeth at NBB and she was so nice…the burgers arrived in Boston practically the next day! They were delicious! And even my husband commented that “these actually aren’t that horrible” as he devoured our dinner the other night! 🙂
