Warmer Weather Is Coming
It’s almost porch season y’all!! We finished our screened-in porch the day it turned cold. I am SO PUMPED for warmer weather in our new addition. We want to get an area rug and we are looking into some sun-filtering shades that you can see through so we can enjoy breakfast hours outside. In the evenings, the sun is behind the house and the shade is perfect. I can’t wait to have dinner out here every night!
My New Rothy’s
I’ve been obsessed with Rothy’s for years. I like the round toe more than the point, actually, because I have wide feet. And I LIVE in these 3/4 of the year (and my Allbirds all winter!) I recently got a new pair to replace my solid gray pair that I wore ALL the time. I’m totally obsessed with the colors. You can get $25 off here. (Did you know they also have sneakers, kids, and BAGS now?! The bags are quite expensive but beautiful and made with 100% recycled materials!)
Cauliflower Snacks
We recently bought these Cauliflower Snacks for Birch at Whole Foods and they are great! The best part is when he’s “all done” he throws one on the floor for Gus and the crunching sound Gus makes is hilarious.
Big Nate Books
Never have I heard so much silence! Mazen is obsessed with these books. The two on the left are comic-style, but the one on the right is a chapter book with a few comics and he read it cover to cover.
This Plenty Bowl!
This was a grain bowl seasoned with the orange dressing in this salad and topped with chickpeas, tons of roasted veggies, pistachios, cranberries, and goat cheese. It was so good – must recreate!
BRIO Trains
I’m so glad Mazen’s trains are getting used again. My two boys play so well together with this train set! Thanks to Grammie for the huge train collection that took two years to build, and Birch gets it all out of the gate!
Deep Blue Rub
I bought this rub by Doterra a while back and just finished that tube. Thomas and I both uses it on our trouble spots – his back and my foot. Remember Icy Hot? It’s a similar experience but with certified pure Therapeutic Grade essential oils, the Deep Blue essential oil blend of Wintergreen, Camphor, Peppermint, Ylang Ylang, Helichrysum, Blue Tansy, Blue Chamomile, and Osmanthus. It’s expensive but worth it. I just bought more!
Daily Harvest Oatmeal
Did you know Daily Harvest has oatmeal and chia bowls!? I recently tried the oatmeal and it was good! Packed with unique ingredients even I hadn’t added to my oatmeal bowls before, like mulberries and dragon fruit! I heated mine up with milk and sunflower butter on top. Get $25 off your first order here.

My kids loved the Brio trains too! I can’t wait to read your full recap of the new porch project. I’m glad to see your family so well and happy. We’re all pretty worried about COVID 19 in my household. My husband is a health care provider and two of my kids work in a health care setting. How are you guys coping with it? Are supplies running out in your area? I went grocery shopping tonight and basic things that I need like Greek yogurt , black beans, and even onions are completely sold out. Not to mention toilet paper.
Kath Younger says
Yes we’re all a little freaked out here. No confirmed cases in Cville yet, but I’m sure they are here they just haven’t surfaced. We did a big grocery trip yesterday, and I hear the lines at Costco were insane from some friends. Everyone seems to be laying low to see what happens. Thomas was supposed to go on a business trip next week that was cancelled and I’m honestly very relieved. Luckily we didn’t have anything else big going on. I feel so bad for people who have joyous occasions like weddings scheduled over the next few weeks.

Kath, does Beautycounter sell hair dye?
My sister and I were chatting about nontoxic ways to cover grays.
Kath Younger says
No they don’t. That would be something cool to add!
Amy says
Do you ship the samples to Canada? DYING to try it out!!!
Kath Younger says
I think I can – go ahead and fill it out and I’ll see if there’s any reason I can’t!
Tam says
I love Rothy’s! When I saw the new tangerine and navy color I knew they would be the perfect color for UVA fans. I have to say that the sneakers are my favorite style because they are so comfortable.
Carla Reyes says
