Spring Breeeeeak!

Foodblog-3768

Mazen and I spent a long weekend on Bald Head Island with my parents and Larbs and Matt, who are getting married there in June. We did a wine tasting for their rehearsal dinner on Saturday and a tasting for the reception menu on Sunday. Mom, dad and I went out for pizza on the first night and cooked spaghetti on our final night. We watched several sunsets and sipped wine by the ocean. Mazen had a great time on his first boat ride, walking on the beach with P and playing lots of games with Buzz.

I unplugged from my computer, started a new book (Room – totally into it so far!), enjoyed a run and several walks (too bad it was still really cold), and increased my sleep deprivation bank. (Yes, increased. That was the only part of this trip that wasn’t a vacation!). But overall, it was a lovely escape.

    I was on a business trip when my husband started sleep training (she was about 6 months and 2 weeks…) he is brave. We stopped feedings (per our dr.) and just did “pat-pat” as we called it. Took turns going in to do the pat-pat once or maybe twice a night – which was heaven compared to getting up for night time feedings. At nine months we stopped going in for the nightly pat-pat (also at the recommendation of dr. who gave us the ok) It gets MUCH better. Hang in there.

    Loving stopping by the new version of the blog…hope it keeps up!

    Also- Mazen is absolutely ADORABLE! Seriously, what a beautiful baby boy.

    re. Room: I read it last summer and remember it as vividly as it was yesterday. I really admire the author esp. for her originality. Though parts of it were a little difficult/troubling to read through, the overarching message was beautiful. Enjoy.

      I know I shared it at some point. It involves freshman orientation and a conversation starter pair of Duke shorts.

      And yes, Matt lost 25-30lbs after college too. It came off effortlessly and was more the absence of beer and frat food than any drastic diet plan : ) plus we started exercising together

        Hey Kath, were you heavier when you and Matt met and dated? I struggle with being self-conscious dating because I’m not as fit as I used to be and should be. Would love to hear your thoughts on this…?! 🙂

    I LOVE ROOM! That book was amazing.

    Also I’d just like to say how much I appreciate your blog. I lived in Charlottesville for about half of my life and I went to Great Harvest all the time! John D’Earth, a jazz trumpet player, was my jazz teacher in high school and his studio is right across the street. Anyway, I moved this year to DC for college and only then did I get into your blog – I actually was reading your blog for a month before I even made the connection that we were from the same town! I’ve been to the shop so much so I’ve probably seen you already not knowing who you were! Anyway, keep up the great work!

    Dear Kath,
    thank you for this “window” on the lovely island & family & food. It feels like being there with you.
    Cutie Pie is cuter than ever. I have a little strange request here: I find babies adorable even when they cry or pull faces, could you take a couple of pics of those moments as well?

    A warm hug,
    Ella

      Even if you don’t share sad or crying pictures, I hope you are taking those kinds of pictures. I find as I look back through my little guy’s pictures the ones with crocodile tears in them always pull at my heart strings the most.

    Beautiful pictures – such a beautiful place for a wedding. Can’t wait to see those pics!! How can little Mazen be growing up so fast? He’s a doll! What a wonderful, close-knit family.

    He is the cutest thing ever! Looking at all those smiles surely compensates for the lack of sleep he gives you. It’s his way of saying, “I am cute, you can’t be annoyed”

    Haha. Oh my goodness that child is cute.

    We went to BHI in 2010 and absolutely loved it (we actually stayed in that tiny little Water cabin on the bottom left of your first pic! It was really nice.). The island was so serene and beautiful.

    Has the water quality improved at all? That’s the only thing that’s kept us from going back. The water smelled and tasted horrible and, since I was pg at the time, we felt it best to be safe and avoid any food/drink from the restaurants that was made with it and went through a ton of bottled water. I would love to go back otherwise!

      Beach water is always horrid in NC. sadly we drink gallons of purified while we’re thetee but I’ve never had trouble in a restaurant. I think it’s plenty safe just stinky.

      Unfortunately the options are limited to house rentals, condos and the Marsh Harbor Inn. You can find the best value in the spring and fall (and winter). It’s really pricey in the summer, which is why we never go then! Except this one for the wedding. I’m so excited.

    Such a happy baby!

    I seriously love the pictures of him eating- he just looks so excited for the food.

    Looks like a great (but cold) trip!

    Kath,
    I have recently stumbled upon your blog and have been so motivated by your pictures and recipes. I am a busy mom too, but my kids are 14 and 17…

    After a recent bewildering diagnosis of LGL Leukemia, I have jumped into a new phase of my life– one in which I really, truly pay attention to what I eat.

    Fortunately, I am asymptomatic. I plan to stay that way as long as I can by treating myself well. Thanks for being part of my plan!

    So great to see how you are incorporating motherhood into your life. I love that you continue to travel, spend time with family, exercise, socialize–and read! My kids are teens now, and my time is once again basically my own, yet I clearly remember how difficult it was to justify taking time for myself when they were younger. And though I think tried, I don’t think I ever really committed to the idea of integrating them (especially as babies) into my pre-child life. So kudos to you, Kath!

    P.S. Mazen is absolutely precious. Pretty sure I say that each time I leave a comment, but it remains true!
