Chit Chat: Thirteenth Edition Highlights and Key Updates

Disney with the boys

Chit chat today 🙂 I hope everyone is enjoying their summer.

Summer break has been so much fun with the boys. I’ve been taking each of them to Disneyland one-on-one, and those outings have created memories we’ll always treasure. They keep asking when we can go again, and I look forward to every minute we spend together.

Nature Box

We recently sampled a couple of boxes from Nature Box. I expected healthy snacks, but I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious everything was. The boys and I can’t get enough. Nature Box delivers a curated snack box to your door each month, making it easy to try a variety of wholesome options. I’ll be sharing a recipe and hosting a giveaway with Nature Box in early August, so stay tuned.

OC Fair

The OC Fair is in full swing. We took the boys to sample all the crazy fair foods — so many fun and indulgent treats! It was a great family outing and a tasty way to soak up the summer atmosphere.

Sabra

I had a wonderful trip to Virginia last week for an inside look at the Sabra factory. We toured the facility, learned about new spices, painted our own hummus-and-pita bowls, and sampled plenty of hummus — plus some memorable ice cream. It was a fun, informative few days.

Stella and Dot Fall 2013 line

Be still my heart — Stella & Dot’s new fall collection is gorgeous. The colors and sparkle are irresistible, and there are dozens of beautiful new pieces to choose from. I love the variety and styling options this season brings.

Shopping w Pax

Pax has been riding in my grocery cart for months, and I’m always navigating around his big car seat. This week he finally graduated to sitting up front in the cart — hooray! There’s actually room for groceries now, and he seems delighted with the change.

Boys

My sweet boys have so much personality. They put Pax’s baseball hat on backwards so he would look like a “dude,” and he wore it proudly. Pax also got his first haircut this past weekend — such a little cutie pie.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend. See you Monday with a new recipe!
