So by now -- November 3 -- Tate has sifted and picked his way through his entire Halloween treat bag and managed to eat all of the little M&M bags.  Which means he is now left with 5 pounds of "other" types of candy.  For a no

Hands down, the best part about the International Street Fair in Orange is....The aebleskiver on Denmark Street!  (Like pancake balls with jelly and powdered sugar)(And hearing the accents of the Danes serving them up ain't so bad, either!)A

Yesterday we headed out to Tanaka Farms in Irvine to take their annual Strawberry Tour and let the kids pick their own strawberries.  It was a blast, for both the kids and the adults!  Here are a few pics:  First they take you for a b

Sweet Potato Souffle

Okay, peeps.  I think it's time for a recipe post.  With Thanksgiving less than 48 hours away, it's a great time to share one of our family favorites: Sweet Potato Souffle.  It might put you into a diabetic coma, but it's s

Peeps, I have a new favorite thing I must share with y'all.  It's called Super Suppers and it's this assemble-your-own-meal place where you, well...assemble your own dinners!  And then take them home to your freezer.  When

No summer in SoCal would be complete without a trip to the OC Fair in Costa Mesa.  And I am not ashamed to admit that we quite literally ate our way through the entire fair.  Did not go on a single ride or play a single game.  (I also

As you all probably know, Miss Felicity started eating solid foods about a month ago.  So I thought I would blog about something I'm pretty jazzed about: I'm making my own baby food.  I never did this with Tate, mainly because

No time to do a lengthy post -- Tate is sick and Felicity is mobile.  So hey, how 'bout s'more home videos, folks???Here is Felicity's first time eating a green veggie.  Jeremy is the camera man and you'll notice he did some

where did the last seven months go?

Felicity is seven months old today.  SEVEN MONTHS!  I find it so hard to believe; I still think of her as my little newborn.  She is still such a sweet baby, and she is SO MUCH FUN now!  She laughs *so* easily, and it gives me an

Miss Felicity tried her first solid food this week, just a few days shy of 6 months old.  In an attempt to make her palate a little less bland than her brother's, I decided to start with avocado.  Here is the progression of how it

bon appetite

Tate's palate *finally* seems to be expanding...a little.  We have battled with his "toddler anorexia" for so long now; at one point I thought he would live off of baby cereal and veggie sticks for the rest of his life.  But latel
