Jacob loves to unpack things, this we know, but did you know that his unpacking can be very helpful if you time it right? He helps us unload the washing machine and drier. He will sometimes even move clothes from the washer to the drier, or the drier to the basket! I think it’s a perfect job for him because he is just the right height to reach all the way in there. 🙂
We got our first CSA produce box. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It’s a way of ensuring that your produce comes from local farms, farmers, and communities by having it collected and delivered. I got a groupon and had always wanted to try it out. The box was packed with beautiful fruits and vegetables. The contents list is below. We have already had some of the dinosaur kale in our smoothies, eaten apples and mandarins, made a salad with the beautiful lettuce, and eaten the artichokes (they were delicious!). I wanted to challenge myself to cook and eat more different things, and so far I’m very happy with it. There is nothing in the box I cannot use, and I love knowing it is fresh, in season, and supporting local American farmers. We get so out of touch with seasonal produce since we can get anything, any time of year from South America or some other distant place, and farmers here are struggling. Plus, I like knowing that it is nutritionally dense (versus produce that is who knows how old) and free of chemicals. It’s very dirty, of course, because it just came from the ground!
The company we are using is called Farm Fresh to You, and so far I love it! Comment below if you would like the info and a coupon code for $10 off.
Do you know what motion blur is? When a subject moves too fast and the lens shutter is still closing. It causes a blur or superimposed image.
I know it well.
We got passes and Jacob and I went to Disneyland! It was supposed to rain so I really wanted to go and see the park as empty as it probably gets. We rode dumbo, winnie the pooh, the steam train, went in the Tiki room, walked all around California adventure, and rode Heimlich’s Chew Chew train.
Sleeping beauty…

Yesterday I took Jacob to meet his cousin Alexis. I got to hold her and snuggle her so I was in heaven. 🙂 we shared the love of babywearing and showed Laci how to use the moby wrap.
Our bodies were MADE for this.
“There is almost nothing you can do for your child in his whole life that will affect him both emotionally and physically as profoundly as breastfeeding.”
My little Valentine, he’s so sweet.
But he won’t sit still for a picture.
That’s okay because I am fast. Actually I’m really slow, the grass was damp, my camera strap kept falling in front of the lens, and it was hot today. But it was worth it.
Please excuse the dirty face and shirt. Toddler life…
“Mommy is so funny!”
I think this is Blue Steel? Don’t ask about it. It’s top secret.
