The rooster went off at 7am this morning. Or I mean the toddler alarm. She usually sleeps about 7pm-7am and last night was exactly that. The wee one always wakes up hungry, I know the feeling. Off to the kitchen we went!
Oatmeal with PB and bananas. Ground flax stirred in. Wouldn’t want to forget those omega-megas?
Picking out the banana.
We pondered the possibilities of the day and decided to head out for a walk. We loaded up the stroller with essentials like water, wipes, and toys then headed out.
Stopped at Starbucks for a snack mid walk.Munched on a spinach/feta and egg wrap. Picked up some dark chocolate almond milk, plain yogurt, pears, and applesauce at Target. Looking forward to trying the milk in my smoothies. Chocolatey goodness is always a good idea.
Hit up the kid rides at the mall to warm up. It is 9 degrees C out and it feels chilly. You know you have been in Cali too long when…
We were bundled up in sweaters and hats.
Soon it was time to head home for some veggie soup and goldfish crackers. We might make a monkey pie (with silken tofu) later and head out to the park.
Nap time is here and it is time for my iced coffee. Snuggled under my blanket with the heat cranked of course.
Good news on the house front. The sellers accepted our offer! Now to do some paper work and close the deal.
Ciao for now.

Your little one is SOOO big! I think the last time I read your blog you had just had her. Obviously, I haven’t been reading blogs in awhile. That chocolate almond milk is so good. I use it kind of like chocolate syrup in the kids milk when they want chocolate milk. A splash of dark chocolate almond milk and the rest skim milk.

Good idea, I remember my Ma did that with our milk too!

Whee! Congrats on the new place! Sounds like a great day all around. Tell me ALL about it tomorrow!
And I wholeheartedly approve of your chocolate almond milk.
PS – Blog o’Plenty is up…
