Soup’s On!
Here we are, a little more than a week into the new year, and my resolution to start living a little healthier is going awesome! Check out the fab tomato and bean soup I made last weekend using a recipe from The Soup Bible Carole had given me for Christmas. I made tomato sauce from Nadia G’s new Cookin’ For…

Stand and Deliver
When we got to Grandma’s for the holidays, she had a big surprise for Phil in the form of a table he could stand at to play with his toys. Little boy was all over it for the entire 2.5 weeks we were there. This week was back to the grind in the home office.…

Lunch in the Park, Huntington Beach Style
I can’t lie, Phil is a big fan of corn dogs. And regular dogs for that matter.

Time for a Thrift Store Photo Extravaganza!
Josh and I found ourselves at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore thrift store in Las Cruces, New Mexico, over the holidays. I seriously can’t believe all the good stuff we saw! I’m a big-time browser, so none of this actually came home with me… I just wanted to preserve the magic and share some of it with y’all!…

mmmmm… NO!
Phil’s new favorite thing to say is “mmmmmm… NO!” He’s been using this phrase pretty much non-stop since he learned it last weekend. We’ll be driving around in the car, and he’s just hanging out in the car seat chanting “mmmm… NO! mmmmm…. NO! mmmmm…. NO!” It took me a while to realize where he…

As you may or may not know, I’m totally taking the online test in January to try and get on Jeopardy! I’ve been doing some studying here and there to help prepare for it by downloading free apps on the iphone… Turns out I was not as solid as I thought on the state capitols,…

On the Road for a New Mex Xmas!
We hit the bricks for Christmas in Las Cruces, New Mexico with Josh’s mom Carole this week. And let me tell you this – if we’re flying somewhere, Josh and I pack light thanks to the airlines and their $25 a bag charges. But driving? Forget about it. That’s a whole other story. Road-tripping for us involves hours upon hours…

A Little Light Reading for Our 15 Month Old
I turn around from my work and Phil is sitting on the floor, paging through an old copy of Ramona Forever that I’ve got. The he crawls into my lap, and makes me read the first couple pages. I’m about to bawl from the sentimental cuteness.

Flu Shot? What Flu Shot?
Phil was a trooper today when he had to get his flu shot. So, afterwards we went to Rite Aid and shared a scoot of Chocolate Chip ice cream. I think he completely forgot about the shot.

Games Babies Play
It constantly blows our minds how bright Phil is, guys. I know every parent says that – but I don’t know any other 14 month old that comes up with games like “if I close my eyes, you can’t see me anymore.” It’s like the next level of peek a boo or something! The best…
