First Day!
November 7, 2011Zaycon Foods Chicken
October 19, 2011Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to pick up 40lbs of chicken breast from Zaycon Foods. Zaycon Foods has incredible “one day” deals for things like chicken breast or other meats. Now, we do not eat chicken everyday or even every week, so 40lbs of chicken would last us a very long time. Thankfully, [...]
First Day of School
September 15, 2011Okay, not really school. We are part of a co-op toddler group that meets once a week at a local (sketchy) strip mall. A few of our friends from playgroup are in the class, making the transition a little easier since there are familiar faces! The format is basically open play and a little “circle [...]
The French Bakery
September 13, 2011After our Farmer’s Market fun, we went with Brenda to The French Bakery in Bellevue to use a coupon and enjoy some treats! Beatrice and I had been to the Kirkland and Crossroads locations, but this was new for us. It is definitely the largest of the three bakeries, but it is also the one where [...]

Fun with friends, [...]
Splash Park
July 14, 2011One of our local parks has a little splash park area for children and Beatrice and I went to check it out last week. I wasn’t sure how she would respond to the water splashing, and she did stay close by my side for the first few minutes or so. Once she caught on, this [...]
Recipe of the Week: Pepperoni, Potato and Broccoli Rabe Pizza
May 26, 2011This past Friday, we had my great friend J over for a little adventure and some dinner. It was sunny! It was warm! We went to our local nursery where we perused the offerings for both indoor and outdoor plants and generally enjoyed the last of the warm spring sun. It should also be noted [...]
Cousins in the Sun
May 17, 2011It’s been sunny here! Yay! Unfortunately, naptimes kind of cramp my style when it comes to time in the sun. Friday we were, however, able to get out and take a walk with Megan and Ezra and our friends Brenda and Eden. Megan has a cool park near her house and we played and enjoyed [...]
Seattle Aquarium
April 21, 2011Our friends, the Rafers, had a couple of coupons for free admission to the Seattle Aquarium that they were planning to use earlier in the week, but were unable to go and had offered the coupons to us. Hooray for free fun! It turned out that Christi and I were able to take the girls [...]
A Mid-week Adventure and a Pickle
February 12, 2011On Wednesday, Beatrice and I went to Home Cake in Seattle with Brenda. This place is a gem! It’s also rather like sorting through the spare bedroom in my grandparents’ basement. If you go here with small children, make sure they are well-rested and not hungry. If they are small like Beatrice, put them in [...]
