Sunny Side Everywhere

this !

Bright and sunny morning to ya! When Mazen was a toddler he would walk into direct sun and say “TOO SUNNY! TOO SUNNY!” (Eventually I convinced him to wear sunglasses.) I am such a sunshine lover that the only time I say “too sunny” is when it’s 100 degrees at the beach in July at noon. Otherwise – bring it on!

Sunny Breakfast

Two scrambled eggs, clementine, Irish Soda Bread from Great Harvest

When Your Name Is A Tree

Your mom must buy all the tree-themed clothes! Obvi. These are by Kate Quinn Organics! (And Birchie’s friend Fern had to buy all the fern ones 🙂 )

Nutrients For Your Bod

These samples recently made their way to my mailbox. The brand is Seed Phytonutrients, and the packaging is the first shower friendly paper bottle made of 100% post-consumer recycled paper with a post-consumer recycled liner. Pretty cool! Look for the brand at Whole Foods and online.

My Ideal Lunch

This is my ideal lunch!! Half a leftover Roots bowl plus the Plenty curried farro + sweet potato salad with a few pita chips on top for crunch. Combine and eat in 30 seconds!

Delicious Rolls….From The Freezer!

This was a chicken orzo soup from Plenty we had with sourdough rolls I found in the frozen section at Wegmans. They toast up SO well and are great to have on hand with soup all winter. I noticed they also had rosemary and a seeded one, so I want to try those too.

The Brothers

We have moved on from bathing Birch on the kitchen counters to putting his bath in the big bath. Thomas tried filling up the big bath around it, and it worked! So the brothers could have a bath together. (We also tried once to have Mazen hold Birch in his lap and that did not go well!) It will be so fun when they can actually take a bath together. I hope Mazen won’t be too cool for that when B is ready! 

If you saw on Instagram, Mazen had me trace his body on some roll-out white paper, and we have used it all week as a life-size paper doll to plan his outfits each night. He even made cut out faces for when his hoodie covers the base face – lol!

That boy has so much personality! He showed up in my bed looking like this the other morning. (And that towel was there because I woke up leaking milk all over the sheets because B slept 10 hours straight!  Ahhh!)

This is how we watch The Bachelor. What did you think of the finale?! {Raccoon outfit here!}
