Surprise! I figured I’d throw back to the old days and do a series of live blogs today! Breakfast, lunch, and dinner – hold on to your hats! Haha.
Mazen woke me up at 7, as he usually does, with snuggles in my bed. His latest thing is running across a room and saying “HUGGIE!” and today he did that and dove under the covers with me. It’s the best way to wake up! (Actually I was already awake and checking emails on my phone, but still : ) )
We were not alone, though, because Thomas and Gus have moved in with us! After a long time of going back and forth, we decided to consolidate our lives here, and we are so happy <3 He is renting out his house (which he owns and renovated), so that’s been a great financial bonus for him too.
Good morning Gussie!
Thomas’s full pot of delicious regular coffee has definitely had an impact on my caffeine adventures ; ) Full mug of regular today – no more, no less.
I made banana pancakes for breakfast per Anne’s recipe:
We had mango on the side. The best way to cut a mango is to slice off each cheek and then cut those into thirds and eat them like you would orange slices.
Mazen and I shared the pancake, plus he had a little smoothie.
He’s been playing postman this morning, and he wrote me a love letter and delivered it. It was a jumble of letters, but I made out “From” and “Mama” in the mix.
I gotta run or we’ll be late for preschool!! See you for lunch!

Vicki says
how has Mazen handled Thomas moving in? He’s had a lot of chsnges in a short space of time.
KathEats says
He has done great. He loves Thomas and Gus so when Mazen and I talked about it he saw it as a good, exciting thing. And it might seem like a short period of time to you guys but it feels like a long time to us, the livers of the life 🙂
Lindsey says
Yaas girl! I love the daily journal blog style.
Erin Hackathorn says
How exciting that you have new roommates! I love mango too, and have been eating a ton of it since finding this easy way to peel it. I don’t know where I heard about this, and in fact I could have learned it from you, but this is life changing. 🙂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGOgM6yo-E0
Katelyn says
Love the throwback post, Kath! I used to read your breakfast post every morning 🙂 Happy for you and Thomas!! <3
Shawn says
Been reading for years…I loved the live blog posts! Hope you consider this more often!!
Laura says
That’s so exciting! I bet it’s quite the change to have all that dog hair floating around! Has he started sleeping on the bed with anyone yet? 😉
KathEats says
Haha no, he’s well trained so he doesn’t get on furniture.
CaitlinHTP says
Proceeds to check in another three times today like its 2007 🙂
Tiffany says
Caitlin! I got so excited to see your name <3 I hope you're doing well. I was a long time reader of your blog.
Kath, I love this style of blogging. What a nice treat! But I totally understand you don't have time for it anymore. Enjoy your day!!
Anne @ fANNEtasticfood says
Love the throwback approach – and I’m so happy for you guys! Glad you are still enjoying my pancake recipe, too! 🙂 xo
Laura says
Yay – I LOVED your old style Kerf posts! 😀
I’m So happy for you (and Mazen, Thomas and Gus)
Kayleen says
Fun! Yay for old school posts!
Danielle says
Yay, congratulations! When you know, you know! Especially in your 30s, quite different from dating as a teen or in your 20s! I would love to hear how you’ve merged two homes into one, with all of the various physical belongings that come with that process. I know you have a complete household, and I assume that T has one also (only assuming because you said he owns a home as well). Maybe an idea for a blog post in the future? 🙂
KathEats says
So true.
I’d consider a post on the topic, but it wasn’t all that complicated. He didn’t have a lot of things in each category because it was just him at his house before, and he wasn’t particularly attached to a lot of his furniture/housewares. Anything sentimental we made room for, and we’re still working on finding spots for artwork, etc.
Danielle says
That’s great! I wish I had the problem of not having that much stuff! LOL I so need to declutter!
Donna says
SO COOL you have a dog living in your house now. And Labs are so great. 🙂
Annie says
My son is 16 months and I truly love this age but Amazon sounds so unbelievably lovey and adorable as well! I can’t wait for that age either!!
KathEats says
Amazon! Voice texting? Haha!
Susan says
I have missed these kind of posts (long time reader here!) More please!
Kirsten says
Congrats on the recent move-in! I am so happy for you! 🙂 🙂
elle says
The key to dog hair is to Swiffer (dry) a few times a day. The vacuum just stirs it up. I got some micro fiber cloths and use those on my swiffer so I’m not buying the pads all the time.
Happy habitating!
KathEats says
That’s a good idea!
Fancy says
Love the live posts…I’ve so missed them! Please write them more often!
