Remember when Pumpkin the cat hung out on my porch all the time!? Now I have a sweet little pumpkin baby plus some nice fall pumpkins AND a pumpkin yogurt parfait!
Pumpkin or crab, he’s the cutest!
Pumpkin Parfait
This jar had layers of slightly sweetened pumpkin, greek yogurt, and granola. Almost as good as pie!
Screened-in Porch Update
On the topic of porches, the back porch is sporting some fresh white paint!! I am crossing fingers that Thomas will be able to install the screen tracks and railings this weekend. The shiplap against the house is still going up, and we’re not that close to be done but getting MUCH closer by the day!
Birchie is still getting his upper teeth which made for a clingy week. I did a lot of baby back wearing and I can’t believe I never wore Mazen on my back! Also, I have a great technique for getting him in the carrier from the couch so there is no risk of dropping him. I need to share this to IGTV ASAP!
New Usborne Book Fav
Birch is wild about this Woodland Sounds book Morgan sent us from Usborne! Birch even mimics the cuckoo!
Sensational Salads
I had a few this week, including one from Roots and this one with chicken, walnuts, parmesan crisps, and orange dressing from the farro salad this week that I froze in an ice cube tray and thawed. Worked like a charm!
Our Favorite Dinner
Was this Broccoli Cheddar soup from Plenty!! It’s my favorite soup, and Della’s version was 100% awesome. Thomas and I split a grilled cheese on the side!
See You Monday!
I’m a bit behind in blog posts right now (because I’ve been working ON KERF instead of writing posts!) and am skipping a Friday post tomorrow, but I’ll see you here next week with this epic how-to in the works!!

Love Roots!! So nice to have the hotspots for ordering! It’s usually my Friday treat at work. That cheeseboard looks so amazing! Looking forward to reading that post soon! Totally off the subject, but I have to tell you that I discovered that KERF is an actually word to use in scrabble, or in my case, words with friends. Ha!
KathEats says
Haha!! It is a real word! I think it has to do with cutting down wood?
Katelyn says
Your porch is really coming along! I have porch envy 🙂 I showed my husband your progress pics in an attempt to inspire him to do something similar. 😉 Thomas is quite talented! Have a great weekend!
KathEats says
Crossing fingers for you! I’ll be sharing a big photo dump when it’s all ready to go : )

Can’t wait to see the final product! Being able to relax outside from the comfort of a porch really is the best 🙂
Jane says
Oh please please post the babywearing how-to! My poor lower back loves a good back carry rather than a front one, but I’m always terrified of dropping him with that awkward shift around my torso.
Getting my ponytail yanked by a back-worn baby, well, that’s another thing. 🙂
KathEats says
Haha – how about snot all over your back! That’s been me this week.
Tonya says
Pumpkin the Cat!! Throwback reference for the back in the day readers!
KathEats says
Yes!!!
Tracie says
Yes, please post a video (I’m not an IG person) of how you get Birch in the carrier on your back. I would love to do this but am not sure how to get there with a very wiggly baby.

Search the title “The Easier Way to Back Carry in a Boba3G Carrier” on YouTube. That was always my method and it worked so well!!
