Photo & Quote #12 Eggs*

I myself prefer my New Zealand eggs for breakfast. 
~Elizabeth II

I think one of the terrible things today is that people have this deathly fear of food: 
fear of eggs say, or fear of butter. 
Most doctors feel you can have a little bit of everything. 
~Julia Child

I was eating in a Chinese restaurant downtown. 
There was a dish called Mother and Child reunion. 
It’s chicken and eggs. I said, I gotta use that one. 
~Paul Simon

*There were so many good egg quotes (who knew) that you get three tonight!
Remains of breakfast for the 3 of us.

Big Kitty, Olive, Misty
These are the pictures that the vet took to keep on file for our cats.
They were given a shout out on Facebook today and I loved it.
I think the vet captured their personalities quite well.

Photo & Post #11 Library!

Everything you need for better future and success has already been written. 
And guess what? All you have to do is go to the library. 
~Henri Frederic Amiel

A highlight of going to the library with Porter is when he walks around the circulation desk and into the kids section, where we are greeted with this dragon in various costumes and decoration depending on the week. This guy never fails to get a squeal.

Photo & Quote #10 Imagine

Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake. 
~Henry David Thoreau


World, meet Bear. Porter’s new bestie.

***
Porter had the foresight to ask that Bear wear a seat belt.

Practicing sitting on the “potty”.

There is a breakfast place in town called Goldy’s. I really like it, and so does the rest of Boise. Porter and I took a chance to have breakfast there this morning because the only time you can walk right in and sit down is in the middle of the week, early in the morning. He’s getting so proficient at using utensils and his manners are good too.


Photo & Quote #8 Toddler

Having a two-year-old is like having a blender that you don’t have the top for. 
~Jerry Seinfeld

Today I wished I was this cat.

Watching cartoons
The exact quote, while gazing lovingly at the ketchup and nodding his head with a sigh,
“Mmm, I love this stuff.”

For the first time, Porter pedaled for the majority of the ride.
After weeks of only going around the neighborhood because Porter wouldn’t stay on the bike,
we finally made it all the way to the coffee shop. It was glorious!


Photo & Quote #7 Friendship

A friend should be one in whose understanding and virtue we can equally confide, 
and whose opinion we can value at once for its justness and sincerity. 
~Robert Hall

Had coffee with my friend and midwife Holly today. It was both invigorating and soothing
to talk with someone who feels the same way about birth as I do. And to know that our husbands
are happy to spend the afternoon with our children so we could catch up.
So blessed are we.

While I was out Luke and Porter realized that with all of the planes, trains and automobiles we posses, somehow we have no boats. Thankfully they are creative and constructed this awesome ship.

Photo & Quote #6 Eat Real Food

You, as a food buyer, have the distinct privilege of 
proactively participating in shaping the world your children will inherit.



Farm fresh, pastured, local, non-GMO eggs and goat cheese from Green Goat Dairy.
We are spoiled. I love this farm!!
Eat Real Food.

Walking the walk. Breakfast this week included Dutch Baby pancakes made with Green Goat eggs, organic Einkorn flour, and organic sugar. Topped with locally sourced and home canned white peaches form Williamson Orchard.  
There are many recipes, but I’ve found that Martha Stewart’s is a good thing. 

We’re really into these homemade graham crackers right now. So simple, and very real. Thank you Food Renegade.

Today Porter helped me make a new batch and was as patient as an almost 2 year old can be.
Seriously, they’re so good and ridiculously easy to make.

We had a bit of a photo session today. Hilarity ensued.

He decided this was not actually a diaper holder, but his very own train car. Choo choo!

Tonight Luke became a grandfather. Porter named his baby girl, Porter.
Only slightly more creative than her original name, Big Baby.
Tender.

Photo & Quote #5 Popcorn

Of course life is bizarre, the more bizarre it gets, the more interesting it is. 
The only way to approach it is to make yourself some popcorn and enjoy the show. 
~David Gerrold

Actual popcorn used in a shipment of natural lotion that I received today.
