We had a great weekend packed with a killer athletic conditioning class, early bedtimes, lots of reading, beers at Beer Run (and nachos!), an organized session of food prep for the upcoming week and some epic TV!

Mmm I’m all over that salad with the walnuts – it looks so delicious.
Wow, Maze is doing a fine job trying to fit into those slippers! 🙂
I heard Downton is back on TV. It’s on the same timeslot as Revenge (boo) so I’ll have to catch the episode later this week. It seems like forever since the last season!
Barbara Younger says
So glad Maze likes Red Truck, the suggestion of a Katheats or BabyKerf reader!
Elizabeth says
It looks like you had an awesome weekend! I love Mazen’s sweater!
robin says

Anna @ On Anna's Plate says
I love Mazen’s winter sweater. 🙂 Looks like a fun weekend– yay for food prep!
Katie @ Talk Less, Say More says
haha! my roommate and I were watching the bachelor last night too. Interested to see tonight’s episode and how the season plays out!
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
That picture of Mazen in the slippers makes him look so big and grown up!
Leslie says
I love that this ended with pics from Downton Abbey and Bachelor Juan Pablo! I chose Downton for last night, although I went to bed with half an hour left. It’s fun to have some good shows recorded to enjoy in the evenings again.
Shel@PeachyPalate says
Those looks like some epic nachos!! I’m probably the only person over this side of the world that hasn’t gotten in to Downton Abbey!
Kavi says
Looks like a warm & cozy weekend!
Christine@ Apple of My Eye says

Marisa @ Uproot from Oregon says
I am excited to see you write more about Cook Smarts and the meal plans. It looks like you got everything chopped and prepped for this week’s recipes so I will look out for the next “Lately”!
KathEats says
Yes, I’m on week #2 in a row. Loving it. Doing a Lately post plus a special featured post
@simple green moms says
Great pics! The athletic conditioning sounds super fun =)
Livi says
yesss Juan Pablo!! Can’t wait for the real premiere tonight!!
Irene says
My daughter is the same age as M and will NOT let me read to her. She tears the books out of my hands and throws them. Any tips? 🙂
KathEats says
Aw sadness. I’m not really sure what to say? Maybe sit her in a high chair or other chair out of arm’s reach and try reading to her in there?
Matt says
A couple months ago I feel like Mazen wasn’t too interested in reading – he didn’t react quite so strongly but he just didn’t want to sit still very much. I guess we just kept trying and eventually he came around. As with many things in child-rearing, I don’t really remember! It was frustrating though, because I really wanted to read to him.
Emma says
My mom always read us to sleep at nap time.
Sabrina says
Give your daughter a toy to hold while you read?
Liz @ Tip Top Shape says
Oh my goodness, Maze has gotten so big!!! I missed Downton this weekend – gotta catch up on it!
Hillary | Nutrition Nut on the Run says
so pumped for a new season of the bachelor!
Meghan says
Your breakfasts always look so delicious! Simple, but delicious and whole. I’ll just have to adapt them to make them gluten free 🙂
Amelia says
Awww…fun weekend. You can really tell how much you love being a mom to Mazen through these photos. So sweet!
Kevin & I recently started watching Downton Abbey as a rec from a friend (and realized we could watch on Amazon Prime!). We are HOOKED! We just started episode 1 of season 3 last night. So good!
Paige says
I don’t usually watch the bachelor, but one of my best friend’s sister is a contestant, so I am SO EXCITED!! We had a big premiere party last night, it was a blast!
Jackie says
Those nachos look delicious!!!
Stephanie @ Legally Blinde says
Haha, I love the last picture – I’m a huge fan of Downton Abbey and also pretty addicted to The Bachelor. Juan Pablo didn’t really stand out to me during Desiree’s season (wish Brooks were the new Bachelor… ow ow) but I’m still excited to watch this season. Looks like you had a really great weekend. Good job on all the food prep!
APRIL DJIBONON says
LOVE BABIES/TODDLERS IN FOOTY JAMMIES!!!!! SOOOO CUTE…
Alex @ Kenzie Life says
Mazen is SO cute!! I love babies in pjs—they’re so cuddly! Glad you had a good weekend!
Jenny E says
Austin, Texas says hello back! Or as I prefer, “Howdy back at y’all!”
Michelle @ A Healthy Mrs says
Oooooooh, those nachos look so good!
Emily @ Life on Food says
My husband had an early work trip and couldn’t stay up to watch all of Downton so we didn’t even start. Now I am so sad. Hope it was a good one.
Kristilyn (Reading in Winter) says
Oh my gosh … Little M just gets cuter and cuter! 🙂 And your breakfast sandwich and fruit looks delicious … might have to make that my breakfast tomorrow!
Katie says
I have to ask, because I can’t figure it out…what’s the picture taken from the front seat of the car, looking at a random closed door?
KathEats says
Sorry that is quite confusing! It’s the doors to my gym’s Kids Zone.
Heather @ Health, Happiness, and Hope says
What a great weekend! Mazen is so handsome… his style sense is impeccable! 😉 Such a cute black sweater!
mary @ minutes per mile says
I also spent my weekend with Juan Pablo and Lord Grantham! 🙂
Jen and Emily @ Layers of Happiness says
Mazen’s Christmas sweater is TOO cute 🙂
