  1. I love French Toast and agree that soaking the bread in the liquid is really important. I usually use Texas toast but will try brioche…love the Birkenstock sandals! Glad Caleb loves to read to his little bro!

  2. I just started using La Roche-Posay Anthelios AOX Daily Antioxidant Serum with Sunscreen (SPF 50). I didn’t want a mineral sunscreen because they always make my skin feel funny, and I like the Anthelios regular sunscreen – we live in Colorado and use it when we go play on the ski slopes – so I thought I’d try the serum. It doesn’t have a smell, beyond a bit of the usual SPF smell, and it doesn’t feel heavy or claggy on my skin. It’s not cheap, even though you can get it at Target, but it’s something I can integrate into my skincare routine and so far hasn’t done any damage to my tends-to-be-finicky skin. So far, so good.

  3. Our Parmesan reggiano rinds get used up right away.  We never have a collection to get into the freezer.  We do often have extra unsalted butter in there, though.

  4. congrats to your little one on his triumph, yes the photo says it all, also nice tips and links (yep, was mis-pronouncing a few food names, thought I would’ve done better!)

  5. Would love to go skiing someday! He’s a lucky kid 🙂
    Not the best at out-loud reading, so I hope my kids do that later in life, haha!
    Love that dress with the stripes!
    Kind of “eh” on the sandals.
    Pasta looks SO good.
    Oh, how I wish I could “have a cookie”! Those look so darn good, haha.

    Love reading your blog, one of my faves! 😀

  6. Hello. Writing from France, my husband and I just had a good laugh reading your food list and their pronounciation. Now, proud that our food is being eaten around the world, so who really cares about saying it right? We’re having a hard time with “doughnut” (= dewg-NUTE) or “muffin” (=mew-FEN) but that won’t stop us from eating them 🙂 Thanks for your recipes and your posts!

  7. Oh I LOVE those cookies!
    For sunscreen, I highly recommend Beautycounter’s Dew Skin Tinted Moisturizer or their Protect All Over lotion. My kids (very similar in age to yours) love our sunscreen sticks (they smell like tootsie rolls!) Whichever sunscreen you choose, be sure to check how it rates for safety on EWG.org or with their Skin Deep app. Look for sunscreens with non-nano zinc oxide.
