Mmm I’m all over that salad with the walnuts – it looks so delicious.
Wow, Maze is doing a fine job trying to fit into those slippers! 🙂
I heard Downton is back on TV. It’s on the same timeslot as Revenge (boo) so I’ll have to catch the episode later this week. It seems like forever since the last season!
So glad Maze likes Red Truck, the suggestion of a Katheats or BabyKerf reader!
It looks like you had an awesome weekend! I love Mazen’s sweater!
love his jammies
I love Mazen’s winter sweater. 🙂 Looks like a fun weekend– yay for food prep!
haha! my roommate and I were watching the bachelor last night too. Interested to see tonight’s episode and how the season plays out!
That picture of Mazen in the slippers makes him look so big and grown up!
I love that this ended with pics from Downton Abbey and Bachelor Juan Pablo! I chose Downton for last night, although I went to bed with half an hour left. It’s fun to have some good shows recorded to enjoy in the evenings again.
Those looks like some epic nachos!! I’m probably the only person over this side of the world that hasn’t gotten in to Downton Abbey!
Looks like a warm & cozy weekend!
Love Mazen’s sweater! He looks SO grown up already :D.
Great pictures of you two as well, have a great Monday!
Wow those nachos do look epic!
mazen’s sweater is SO darling! i am obsessed with putting my son, atticus, in his new cardigan that my grandmother made. its the best.
ps downton was SO good!

I am excited to see you write more about Cook Smarts and the meal plans. It looks like you got everything chopped and prepped for this week’s recipes so I will look out for the next “Lately”!
Yes, I’m on week #2 in a row. Loving it. Doing a Lately post plus a special featured post
Great pics! The athletic conditioning sounds super fun =)
yesss Juan Pablo!! Can’t wait for the real premiere tonight!!
My daughter is the same age as M and will NOT let me read to her. She tears the books out of my hands and throws them. Any tips? 🙂
Aw sadness. I’m not really sure what to say? Maybe sit her in a high chair or other chair out of arm’s reach and try reading to her in there?
A couple months ago I feel like Mazen wasn’t too interested in reading – he didn’t react quite so strongly but he just didn’t want to sit still very much. I guess we just kept trying and eventually he came around. As with many things in child-rearing, I don’t really remember! It was frustrating though, because I really wanted to read to him.
My mom always read us to sleep at nap time.
Give your daughter a toy to hold while you read?
Oh my goodness, Maze has gotten so big!!! I missed Downton this weekend – gotta catch up on it!
so pumped for a new season of the bachelor!
Your breakfasts always look so delicious! Simple, but delicious and whole. I’ll just have to adapt them to make them gluten free 🙂
Awww…fun weekend. You can really tell how much you love being a mom to Mazen through these photos. So sweet!
Kevin & I recently started watching Downton Abbey as a rec from a friend (and realized we could watch on Amazon Prime!). We are HOOKED! We just started episode 1 of season 3 last night. So good!
I don’t usually watch the bachelor, but one of my best friend’s sister is a contestant, so I am SO EXCITED!! We had a big premiere party last night, it was a blast!
Those nachos look delicious!!!
Haha, I love the last picture – I’m a huge fan of Downton Abbey and also pretty addicted to The Bachelor. Juan Pablo didn’t really stand out to me during Desiree’s season (wish Brooks were the new Bachelor… ow ow) but I’m still excited to watch this season. Looks like you had a really great weekend. Good job on all the food prep!
LOVE BABIES/TODDLERS IN FOOTY JAMMIES!!!!! SOOOO CUTE…
Mazen is SO cute!! I love babies in pjs—they’re so cuddly! Glad you had a good weekend!
Austin, Texas says hello back! Or as I prefer, “Howdy back at y’all!”
Oooooooh, those nachos look so good!
My husband had an early work trip and couldn’t stay up to watch all of Downton so we didn’t even start. Now I am so sad. Hope it was a good one.
Oh my gosh … Little M just gets cuter and cuter! 🙂 And your breakfast sandwich and fruit looks delicious … might have to make that my breakfast tomorrow!
I have to ask, because I can’t figure it out…what’s the picture taken from the front seat of the car, looking at a random closed door?
Sorry that is quite confusing! It’s the doors to my gym’s Kids Zone.
What a great weekend! Mazen is so handsome… his style sense is impeccable! 😉 Such a cute black sweater!
I also spent my weekend with Juan Pablo and Lord Grantham! 🙂
Mazen’s Christmas sweater is TOO cute 🙂
