just for kicks

Hi guys! How’s your day going? Keep those giveaway entries coming! Awesome prize this week, too 🙂 Bella and Caro wanted to say hello and show off their new haircuts. We found a new groomer -she is AMAZING- and she texted a picture of Caro lounging while she was getting her haircut. Apparently Caro fully…

Fish taco Friday. Let’s all make this a thing. We also had an AMAZING dinner at True Food Kitchen. Now that we know we have one In San Diego, it’s going to be tough keeping us away 😉 The kale salad is the best, and we also shared hummus with veggies and a flourless chocolate…

Beach day: It’s hard to believe this is the same little one who was once afraid of sand. We can’t get her out of the water now 🙂 More gorgeous scenery: Giant organic and local berries from Costco: And flatbreads, purchased because the sample guy wouldn’t stop feeding us. The sweet jalapeño spread may be…

Hi! Happy Friday! Any fun plans this weekend?  We have company this weekend: our friend (and Livi’s Tucson baby sitter) is here staying with us 🙂 She got in yesterday and we’re so excited to show her around. First on the list was takeout from OB Noodle House. Necessary. (insert pho pun here) Some faves…

This weekend, we enjoyed a little staycation here at the house since my bro, Meg, Lindy and Luna came to stay with us. I mentioned this in my last virtual coffee date post, but we are going to have a ton of company this summer! The guest room revolving door has already begun, and it’s…

Kyle, Meg, Lindy and Luna are here!  The boys driving the pups to the dog park: Sunday brunchin’: (and “almost-bottomess” mimosas. Do they have to put that in quotes to keep people from taking it super literally?): A great race (and new PR! I’ll have a fun recap in the am): With Meghann and Meb!…

We’d probably be at one of the cute cafes near the beach. We have quite a few amazing spots around here -each time I walk around, I see yet another place I’d like to check out- and it’s totally normal to:  a) not be wearing any shoes, and/or b) bring in an enormous standard poodle…

Happy weekend! Congratulations to those of you who are graduating and finishing up with finals. Hope you’ve all had a wonderful week. The fires are still raging in San Diego, and I’ll continue to send thoughts and prayers to everyone affected. We’re also grateful for the first responders who have worked tirelessly to ensure everyone’s…

Hi guys! How’s your morning going so far? I’m so glad you liked the quinoa pancake recipe. I had another batch for breakfast this morning. So good 🙂 Yesterday afternoon while Liv was napping, I decided to plant some more herbs out in the yard since we still had unused soil and pots. Bell was…
