Everyone say, “Hi, GrandpaHTP!” Henry and I flew (solo! and we clearly survived!) down to Florida for a super mini family reunion.  Although I’ve seen my grandfather a few times since, this was only the second time that he’s seen Henry.  They first met when Henry was about 8 weeks old. Doesn’t my grandpa look [...]

Here’s a peek at how we spent our morning! I rushed us out of the house to make Henry’s gym class.  Henry has two scheduled classes a week – music class on Mondays with Dad and gym class on Thursdays with Mom.  We really like his gym class and were so excited to go.  But [...]

Subtitled – 7 Things That I Think I Know About Parenting Henry* * Subject to change in, oh, one year.   When I was pregnant, Kristien and I finally decided that we had to actually meet and get to know our kid before deciding how to parent him or her.  Once Henry was born, I [...]

Just popping in to say that this is the most amazing snack, ever. It’s a banana topped with sunflower butter, chocolate chips, and crumpled potato chips.  Dude.  Duuuuuude.  So good. It’s a little bit of everything – kind of like this post!     What did you do this weekend?  My goal for 2014 is [...]

Henry opened his diaper drawer, took out a few, and then tried to put a diaper on his (very small) dolly.  It was adorable.    Then we diapered all his teddy bears. <3   Sunday food preppers – did you do it yet?!  I completed all my food prep for next week.  Wahoo!  Chopped fruit [...]

I want to go back! We had an absolute BLAST abroad the Celebrity Summit as part of the Cabot Celebrity cruise (each year, Cabot Coop takes about 45 volunteers on a cruise as a ‘thank you’ – I went because of my work with Operation Beautiful and as the cruise’s Social Media Correspondent).  I must [...]

Remember the track workout from my gym that I posted a few weeks back?  Well, I figured today was a good day to test it out. HOLY HELL.   Let me repeat that.   HOLY HELL.   This was so, so hard.  I was thrilled to make it to the 1-minute plank towards the end [...]

If this was right outside your window, would you go run on the treadmill? If the answer is yes, well – you are a stronger woman than I!  But for me, the answer was a sunny, Pina Colada drenched NO.  I ran once on our cruise vacation for a grand total of 2.0 miles, despite [...]

It’s going to be a busy Monday! However, the God of Work From Home Parents smiled down upon me, waved his magic wand, and Henry slept in.  Coupled with the fact that I got up early, things are going swimmingly.   I had enough time to navigate the jungle that sprang to life in my [...]

Dare I say that our last cruise day in St. Thomas was the very best? We found an amazing  beach to sun, play, and relax at.  There was even snorkeling – right off the sand!  A man gave Henry a few dog biscuits, which drew in tons of tropical fish that ate right out of [...]

I feel like cauliflowers are underrated.  But they shouldn’t be!  They are so delicious and versatile!   Obviously, if you cover cauliflower in cheese, it’s going to be tasty… {Recipe Here}   … But there are other awesome ways to eat cauliflower!  My personal favorite is to mash up the veggie, just like mashed potatoes. [...]
