The anniversary sale officially starts on Friday and if you’re curious what I scooped up, here is a little glimpse. Hunter Kellan Boots. Yes, they’re on my Workout Want list. I worked out like mad last week and will probably get to wear them in the next few days if the weather cooperates. I’ve also […]
Read MoreMy guys are Caspar Babypants groupies and I don’t mind. His songs are entertaining and I love love love the artwork that his wife Kate Endle does for all the covers. Here is Leelee proudly holding his brand new autographed CD. (If you don’t know Caspar Babypants you might know his alter-ego Chris Ballew from […]
Read MoreTravel is getting easier with the duo. At nearly four years old, they can almost navigate themselves and they are a lot more self-sufficient. We went to Oahu a couple weeks ago and had a blast at the Outrigger Reef on the beach. It was a low-key trip where we planned just to sit on […]
Read MoreWe just got back from a much-needed trip to Oahu, and all the boys can talk about is the bus we took from our car to the airport and back. Alaska Air has a fantastic seat-sale out of Bellingham and since it was a direct and overnight flight we thought it would be the best […]
Read MoreI let my guys “practice their letters” on my laptop when I’m reading sometimes, and the other day, the Bean was sitting on my lap typing idly. I looked down and saw this: Divine message? Of course-if you just add a few letters and think inventive spelling. I had to save it. This has to […]
Read MoreThe boys have a book they like to read before bed called “I love you stinkyface“about a boy who is going to bed asking his mom if she’d still love him if he was all these crazy, weird and horrible things. There is a line in it that goes “…and what if I ate bugs […]
Read MoreI snapped this blurry photo as we were stopped at a light on 4th avenue downtown Seattle and I got excited because there’s a new sandwich shop to try out this summer and as we whizzed away, I thought there are a lot of things I’m thinking about right now that I wanted to share. […]
Read MoreLast week, my mom came to visit for a couple days. I told her that I would be braving the trip to Tacoma alone to see Sesame Street Live with the potential for a meltdown if she didn’t come (hint, hint, hint) and she took the bait. She took me to see Ernie when I […]
Read MoreOne of my favorite pics ever, I might have blogged this before, but I wanted to use this for my entry for Decliousbaby’s Photo Friday. We went to California for Disneyland in December and had a fantastic time with all things Mickey, but some of my […]
Read MoreLast night I went to a Bento class at Bellevue Whole Foods taught by a sweet blogger I love for her drool-worthy tweets about Japanese food. I learned to make a few yummy things and thought I’d try to make the Tamago Yaki-it’s pretty much a folded omelet but I’ve never been able to get […]
Read MoreThe guys are so into doing this on their own right now. I think they deserve credit for cleaning up today. After making rice for lunch, I had them help me clean up the water they spilled. Leelee asked for brooms so they could get up the rice bits too. Here they are making a […]
Read MoreWhat is my favorite thing to do at Granville Island besides eating and drinking yummy delights? What does anyone do at Granville Island besides eat and drink and take in this incredible foodie paradise? Do we ride the seas on the aquabus? Yes, we do that too. Sometimes we just ask them for a sight-seeing […]
Read MoreWhat is this, you ask? An asparagus. A harmless green vegetable that my kids have seen on their plates many times before. This same green vegetable sometimes induces gags with one of my kids and the inevitable stinky diapers with both, but never in a million years did I expect to see what I did […]

The cloudy days around this years’ Mother’s Day made me reminisce for the first plane trip we took with the kids when they were 9 months old. We thought that Maui would be a good idea, and that they would love splashing their feet on the beach. They did not really love the ocean or […]
Read MoreWhen we went to the Big Island with our family and the grandparents last August, I needed an excuse to drive an hour or so to Hilo to get this mochi I read about and couldn’t leave Hawaii without trying: . It is from a place called The Two Ladies Kitchen and they are famous […]
Read MoreWorking out for health or looking good are great reasons but I need a workout incentive plan to force myself to the gym and in the long run the price of the incentive is WAY less then paying for the healthcare from not exercising, right?. Currently there are a couple things driving me to sweat. […]
Read MoreSome days seem to have a trend and Friday ended up being a definite “O” type of day-especially when it came to food. We started the morning with Trader Joe’s Os. There was an Eltana bagel snack. And then friends decided that we needed to get some energy out at Jump Planet in Bothell and […]
Read MoreA couple days ago I had a conversation with someone that went like this: “My guys? Yeah, they’re all over everything! I can’t get them to stop climbing.” “Yeah, but they are two-year-olds, they get into everything and can’t help it.’ “I guess that’s true. Do you have kids? “No.” “You sure know a lot […]
Read MoreAnyone else love playdough? I’ve tried making the home-made stuff but this Playdoh Ice Cream set was a total deal (under 8 dollars!) at Target a couple weeks ago and I couldn’t resist. I loved playing with playdoh when I was little-we had one with barber chairs where you could squish playdough out of a […]
Read MoreThese toddlers have a ton of energy and I sometimes feel like I can’t keep up. But then just when I feel like I have my hands totally full, we run into something like this duck we saw the other day at the zoo and I’m reminded that I only have two Littles and not […]
