I’m back!! This is fun!! Haha. Is this giving you guys deja vu?! After breakfast, we biked/walked to school. I love this 20-minute walk, which I do most mornings. We walk every day unless it’s raining, and we braved the winter cold all season. It’s great to get some movement in before I start my day, even if it’s not an official workout.
Mazen loves dandelions so much! He’s so excited that they are popping up all over. But that does mean we have to stop ever 10 feet to blow them? 🙂 Also, that Spiderman jacket from ThredUP is our fashion MVP for this year. He wants to wear it every day!
I split my time this morning packing for a trip we are taking this weekend (!!) and working on KERF and DTF. I am obsessed with packing cubes and lost one of mine in St. Lucia, so I just ordered this inexpensive set from Amazon to get a few more. They make packing so much more fun! I also bought this Sophia Joy cosmetic bag (seen on the right below) because it’s kind of shaped like a packing cube and I was tired of having 2-4 smaller bags for all my toiletries. I have been obsessed with cosmetic bags my whole life, and this is one of my favorites!
Editorial planning…hydrating…
For lunch I had Whole Foods prepared kale salad topped with leftovers from Downtown Grill that I brought home from a date night the other night. Steak, asparagus, shrimp – yum! Surf n turf salad.
We have a birthday dinner on the calendar for tonight, so I’m really excited to go out!

how do you use the packing cubes? I’ve never heard of them!
KathEats says
You put different categories of clothes into them and then put them in your suitcase. They are the organization guru’s dream! Search You Tube for “packing cube video” and you’ll get sucked into a rabbit hole : )
Denise says
I absolutely love them! Twice in the past year I’ve been to remote resorts that did not have adequate drawer space. Cubes keep everything contained and organized.
Laura says
Packing cubes are the best! Makes packing and traveling so much easier! Especially easy if you are packing a carry on bag and have to get things out for security and don’t want clothes flying all over.

Stop making me miss Whole Foods so much!! I really wish I could go back (they don’t have it where I live) just to grab a healthy salad. Yours looks SO good!

This is so fun! Please tell me you’ll do these every so often. I love KERF today but still miss the old school KERF, too!
KathEats says
I’m thinking about doing it once a week, so long as the days make sense : )
Tracy says
Great to hear! Also, happy to hear about your new roommates! Exciting times 🙂
Linda @ the Fitty says
Is anything with steak basically called surf and turf?
Claritza says
Usually “surf” is seafood and “turf” is meat (often steak).
Ashley says
Hi Kath,
Really enjoying the day full of updates from you!
I also wanted to let you know that it looks like Mazen’s helmet isn’t fitted correctly – maybe too loose? Here’s a website I’ve used to help fit my own son’s helmet. http://www.chla.org/blog/rn-remedies/bicycle-helmets-getting-the-right-fit I showed my son M’s helmet though and now he wants an R2D2 helmet himself…LOL!
Can’t wait to see what the evening brings, and I hope you do these “live” updates more regularly. Old school Kerf!

i spot a cute pic of you and T in the background 🙂
Mazen is a SWEET PEA!!!!!
Laura says
My 6 year old had the same Spiderman sweatshirt and loved it so much! Costco usually has them in the fall and now we have Spiderman, The Hulk and Batman! So fun!
Jess says
How did I never know about packing cubes?!! Ahhhhh so helpful.
KathEats says
Go watch the videos!!
Danielle says
Ohh, exciting! Where are you headed?
Allison says
Every time you use DTF I think of that show “jersey shore” and how they used it and giggle.’ Apparently I’m 12. Lol
KathEats says
hahaha. I need to add the N!
Kathy W. says
There’s just something so fun/addicting/involving about old-school KERF! I’m looking forward to stopping by later for dinner. 🙂
Congratulations to you & Thomas (and Mazen & Gus!). It’s spring–love is in the air!

Surf and turf salad! I love it. That steak is cooked perfectly. You can find some really fun items on thredup!
