I hope you guys have had a lovely week! Gus and I are enjoying cozy oatmeal on the couch. Mr. Birch and his BFFs, soccer lovely and Gertie the Goose, say hi! Mazen’s latest Kiwi Crate came with a recipe for energy balls, so we decided to make those together one afternoon. I used the…
Birch: The Fourth Trimester
Look who is 3 months old!! Birch’s three month birthday was also sort of his one year birthday here on Earth because I am fairly certain he was conceived on January 29. Born and conceived on the 29th – how’s that for some more number fun for ya! Look at him sittin’ up all by…
Quick & Easy Mediterranean Salad Bowls
These colorful salad bowls with a Mediterranean twist have a satisfying combination of sweet and savory flavor as well as creamy and crunchy texture. The more flavor and texture boxes I check with each meal, the better! Best of all, these bowls call for ingredients you likely have on hand in your fridge and pantry….
Postpartum Nutrition + Weight Loss
For the first six weeks after Birch was born I knew I needed to give myself grace in all ways. I put no pressure on myself to work on the blog, no pressure to exercise unless I felt the urge, and certainly no pressure to lose weight. My goal was just to do what felt…
Little Date, Big Date.
Weekend outings with bae ^^ I love how they are touching each other. It’s like he’s checking to see if she’s still there! Hope you guys had a great weekend. Fridays have turned into ladies lunch out, and after going to mommy + me yoga at Bend, I met a few friends at Tilman’s for…

That’s The Target

VIDEOS Lunch was quiche, power greens with Roots dressing and veggies, and Red Hot Blues on the side. On Tuesday…
Tropical Farro Breakfast Bowl
^^When you and your bro are making spring break plans. Holla!! We’re heading to the Florida Keys for spring break and can’t wait! Normally I’d want to plan a warm weather trip for February – when the cold blues peak – but due to Mazen’s spring break we won’t be going until April. But at…
Boys + Toys
Back to work side eye. Hope everyone had a nice MLK weekend. Thomas worked yesterday but Mazen has off two days. Winter break x 1,000! The boys and their toys: VIDEOS On Friday we often plan for pizza nights. Thomas makes an awesome grilled pizza using Whole Foods brand pre-made dough, tomato sauce, mozzarella and…
The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far
You may have noticed that my computer changed color from silver to rose gold. That’s because I bit the bullet and upgraded to the newest MacBook Air! I bought an Air almost four years ago and loved it wholeheartedly. It felt new much longer than my other computers. I am Mac for life! When they…
