Happy Summer Friday!! Here’s a recap of this week.
I had a little mug of leftover whipped banana oatmeal and threw it into a smoothie. The result was very thick and creamy! I mixed it with some plain yogurt, banana, fresh strawberries, and Vega Coconut Almond. Yum!!

I see you down there Gussie!
Another day – eggs + fruit + toast!
Mazen told me he had been on a nature hike during his camp day and asked me if I would go on it with him at pickup. Of course, I said, and I made sure I was wearing athletic clothes when I picked him up the next day. But about 8 minutes into the “hike”, we had to turn around because the brush was so thick that I was scared of poison ivy and snakes, and I had about 10 mosquitos all over my legs!! We also saw a trap and were really close to a presumably snake-filled stream. I felt bad for chickening out, but I promised we would go on another family hike on a cleared path soon.
Here he is at the entrance! We will have to try again in the winter…
26 weeks this week!! Does that make this my golden birth week? 
There is no fooling anyone anymore – strangers comment on the baby all the time. He is moving around like CRAZY these days. It’s so funny how desperate I was to feel a movement just 6ish weeks ago and now it’s such a normal part of my every day (every hour, really).
I’ve been loving eggs for lunch (when I don’t have them for breakfast) and I made a little egg salad sandwich with pickle and arugula. Served with chips.
And when a cold salad isn’t appealing – scramble her up! This was 2 eggs, 1/4 a red pepper, 2 big handfuls of spinach, and more cheese than a person should probably have in a sitting, all melted in 🙂 Super delicious! + strawberries
We’ve been eating Blue Apron this week for a post I have coming later this year. (I’m trying to work ahead to actually take a little maternity leave this time around – more on that later.) This meal was paprika lemon chicken with asparagus and rice.
And this one was chicken with coconut curry and rice batch-cooked in advance and finished just before dinner!
Mazey and I played Uno out on the new walkway after dinner after he enjoyed a little ice cream cone. Thooooooose suuuuuuummmmerrrrr niiiiiiiiiiiiightsssssss.
Have a great weekend!
Such a great week, Kath, it’s nice to know you’ve been doing well! Suddenly I want to pay UNO again after seeing the last picture. Haven’t played it in such a long time, it was one of my favourite card games as a kid! 🙂

Such fun days but my gosh no way on the overgrown hike! Hopefully y’all have some awesome weather for a fam hike soon.
I LOVE sitting outside in the evenings but the dadgum mosquitoes drive me insane. We have tiki torches and a candle but they still linger. Super frustrating but sometimes I just sit and swat them so I can enjoy some sunshine. ha
Happy Friyay!
Mazen is such an awesome little boy and growing up so fast 🙂 Thanks for the link to the Rothy shoes. I’m going to try them since they have my size which is very hard to find. I wear 11 1/2 – 12 and run narrow. I like that they offer free shipping both ways if the order is over $30.00. I like the story about how their made. Hopefully they will work as well for me 🙂
What does “Golden Birth Week” mean? 25 years married is “Silver Anniversary” and 50 years is “Golden Anniversary”. If you stay pregnant 50 weeks you’ll be in the Book Of Records ! 😀
Haha. You must not know that my lucky number (and birthday) is #26!
Your pictures always look awesome! Do you use your phone or do you have a camera??
Thanks! Most of them are iPhone but the Gus one is DSLR : )
Hi Kath – could you please share why you like the Vega protein powder? I’m on a quest and looking for one that dursntbhirt my stomach…Thanks! Kelly
I love the flavor and that it’s plant based 🙂
That’s a hard no for me too on hiking through poison ivy with mosquitos! I am somewhat allergic and get huge red welts from them too.
And the blue apron meal really had 3 spears of asparagus? I know i love my veggies but that seems totally skimpy…
i never did learn how to play Uno- dad taught us piker first!! ;)) hahaha! I was seriously like six.
