i spent a few hours organizing my yarn and needles into that armoire

          she didnt want to print off her name- signing was a must

   Off to the kindergarten valentine party

   snacks NUTS i would die without nuts i love roasted almonds cashews
   peanuts i also love those roasted edamame they taste like nuts even
   though theyre not and nuts taste really good with a few slices of swiss
   cheese also deli meat slices celery with peanut butter on it a few
   whole grain crackers with cheese beef jerky sugar free snack packs
   stuffed mushrooms hard boiled eggs string cheese protein bars crudites
   and more NUTS

   and that made me think of all the insomniatic nights that she stayed up
     with me and mirrored my every move and snuggled me right out of my
      anxiety into dreamland long after grant and cate had drifted off

     i was born in orange county where my parents had lived in the same
    house for like 20 years they had both lived in so cal all their lives

                           what an adventure it is

                        the deal with pcos and carbs

   i remember that too it was really fun i hope it gets warm again real
   soon i cant wait to go to the park again with you two love mom

                                               valentines day preparations

   but the main thing i love about this picture is tree cover you can see
   in the upper right corner thats how it was all around the block even on
    really hot days you could find a great place to play in some serious
   shade everyone had a huge tree or trees somewhere on their property and
     bushes and ivy and a great variety of things the only reason we had
    those young trees on the corner was because my mom sold our big palm
                  tree to some palm springs landscapers ha

   (but honestly i dont snack alot when you eat so much protein you dont
   get hungry as often through the day)
