He is my favorite part of the day. Those pouty lips! Those big ole’ cheeks! I just love him so.
Because In N Out makes everything better. Sitting outside (the only ones!) in the glorious sunlight and chowing down on burgers and fries with my boys. Doesn’t get much better.
A reader asked me to share our go-to grocery essentials, so here is a good look at them! We pretty much always have most of these items in our house, and they’re the ones we have to get every week. For produce: Lemons, carrots, kale (or spinach!), sweet potatoes, bell peppers, avocados, apples, oranges, bananas, strawberries, tomatoes, onions and broccoli. We really like produce around here. ;) Also, ground turkey (and chicken and salmon!), whole grain bread, walnuts (and almonds), natural peanut butter, Greek yogurt, black beans (obsessed), corn tortillas and dark chocolate. Duh. I’m also really into hummus right now (I get into these phases…) and guac. But my favorite way to make guac is to just mash up avocados, so I’m not sure that really counts?… What are your grocery essentials?
We took Sam to his first baseball game on Monday, with Zack’s parents- they’re the two sitting next to me :). It was our local AAA team, the Sacramento Rivercats, who are affiliated with the SF Giants. Which is awesome, since that’s Zack’s favorite team! ;) Hunter Pence, one of our faaaavorite players because he’s just hilariously cool, was rehabbing there, so that was really neat to see! And they won! So yay! I was also that person that brought carrots and hummus to the game because I didn’t want to eat ballpark food. I regret nothing. It was delicious. And also probably kind of hilarious to watch, because who brings to carrots and hummus to a baseball game?! This guy.
Sam has been doing BABY YOGA alllll the time and it’s the best. Especially whilst only wearing a diaper. I love it. Isn’t there some sort of old wive’s tale about this? I can’t remember. I might be making this up. It’s cute, regardless.
Zack came home with a pink basketball just for me. He was so excited about it, I kind of loved it. ;) You see, we recently discovered this “hidden” (not really but kind of) basketball court/ playground/ park right by our house (it’s actually part of a community center and we knew it existed but had never gone for some reason), and so 2 or 3 times a week we run over to it and play basketball and Sam gets to swing at the playground and it’s pretty much the best way to spend a morning. So Zack got me a pink basketball since I’m a “basketball player” now. Term used very loosely. He’s the one with mad skillz. Just follow along on snapchat (username: katiedid_what) and you’ll see!
An outfit from yesterday. I had forgotten about this maxi skirt, but it is the besttttt. So long and soft and flowy.
He takes grocery shopping très serious. Also, we loooove this cart/high chair cover. It’s so plush and I love that he’s just riding in luxury with it! Haha. It’s too good.
Did you need to smile today? Thought so. :)
A super casual outfit from last week. I’ve been living in these Birks. Watch for a whole post on how to style them coming soon!
Speaking of shoes, I am obsessedddd with my new heels from Riffraff. SO comfortable and so fun to style! Plus, everything goes with ripped jeans, am I right?!
Take us out, Swing Boy!

OMG that baby yoga is just too cute! My heart melted <3
It’s seriously my favorite!!
xo
ahhahhaha the baby yoga! SO CUTE!!! And I love the picture of you guys at the baseball game- such a cute memory!! Sam is watching so intently :)
Yes, he was like that the whole time! SO into the game- it was adorable.

I’ve heard it means they’re looking for a baby brother or sister!
YES! I thought I’d heard something like that! Uh oh… ;) hahaha

Yoga has never looked so good. Them little baby feet!!!!! Treasure those baby feet. My daughter is four and they are still super cute! My son is an active 10 year old so they are big and most of the time have boy stink! His favorite line now when I try to snuggle or I’m just staring admiring how grown up and cute he is, is “Mom stop stalking me!” hahaha. I feel like one of those moms from the Old Spice commercials!
Hahaha awwww that’s still pretty cute, though! :) And I am definitely treasuring his little baby feet. I give them kisses on the daily!

Hahaha, that baby butt is precious! And that is QUITE the grocery haul! I just love peeking into other people’s fridges! Thanks :)
Baby butts are the best thing in this world, right? :) And I love seeing other’s grocery hauls too! So fun!

hmm, are you pregnant? I’m pretty sure that’s what that means. You do make them pretty darn adorable. My first two are 20 mos apart and although it was busy it’s so nice…built in best buddies (they are 9 and 7 now). Love reading your fun little blog :) Susan Campbell
Ooh yeah, I’ve heard that’s what that means! So sweet that your two are best buds. :) That’s the cutest! No news yet, but I’ll definitely be sharing when it happens!

He’s getting so big. I’ve been planning on trying some jeans & shorts from American eagle. I haven’t tried them from there yet. I love those heels too from Riffraff. Are you getting ready for the Batchelorette?

Girl, American Eagle jeans are some of my VERY favorites- they always fit perfectly and they are a great price, too! :) Plus, they last forever. Definitely recommend! And YES, you know it- I am SO ready and excited for the Bachelorette!!! And the Man Quotes will be coming back on Tuesday- YAY! ;)

As always, Sam is killing me. That precious guy. I just have to say – I would be baffled if I saw someone eating carrots and hummus at a baseball game. It seems…unamerican. Maybe I’m just jealous because my body craves hot dogs and popcorn over carrots and hummus. ;)
Baby yoga looks so cute! 🧘♀️👶💕 Those tiny yogis are simply adorable as they explore gentle movements and stretches. It’s heartwarming to see the little ones embrace mindfulness and flexibility from such an early age.
