Just A Random Wednesday – A Post Only A Mother Could Love

Today I documented everything that happened on a random day.. everything we did, everywhere we went, what we had for breakfast, what I felt at 8am and what I felt at 1:30 pm., all the monotony and all the joy… This post is for future me. I want something real and tedious to look back on, a way to re-live the details, the minutia, the beautiful (and not so beautiful) everything that makes up our lives today. So future Sarah:...

Keto Chicken Pad Thai

I just love Pad Thai, and this low carb version hit the spot. It took a little more time than my normal 10 minute meal prep-time but it was totally worth it. I’m not a clean-as-I-go type person can you tell? And cooking with a three-year-old doesn’t help either. (Hands over face.) Don’t let this long(ish) list of ingredients scare you! The end result is worth the extra effort: 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon sea...

Thai food is one of my favvvvvorite foods in the world. I ate my way across Thailand when I was 19.

I loved the idea of being able to recreate these flavors in...

Slow Cooker Mexican Meatballs And A Rainy Day At Home

Last Tuesday started with a dead truck battery and ended with a traffic ticket from a very kind police officer. No really, he was so kind. After one look in the back of my land-cruiser packed with three preschoolers he went from business as usual to sweet and comforting: “Just call DMV and renew your registration and it’s like you never even got a ticket….” “Call DMV??” I don’t know what planet he’s from, but it’s not earth. Even so, I was thanking him...

My Babiest Baby Is Three!

Throwing a party for a three-year-old boy… Could there be anything more FUN? And more terrifying? For the first time (in his long life of three years) he was super excited about having a party. Like suuuuuper excited. Every day leading up to it, “Is it my burday party?? I wanna go to my burrday party!!” Lots to navigate for me in that area, but there was much fun and cuteness found in-between the stress of managing a three-year-olds emotions and...
