Avocado! That’s right. We’re putting avocado in the blender this morning ’cause we’re making a chocolate avocado smoothie for breakfast. Aren’t you excited?! I’m excited too. See, I’ve never used avocado in a smoothie before because avocados usually don’t make it past salads, bean burritos or stay-at-home burrito bowls around here. But today, half an … Read more

January 12th, 2012 | Posted by in Short or Sweet - (6 Comments)The most exciting thing to report on around here would be the fact that I’ve been eating breakfast cookies all week.

16 weeks pregnant (tomorrow). I think I’m starting to feel the baby move, but these early flutters are so easy to confuse with the digestive process sometimes I wonder if it’s just dinner that I’m feeling move around.
