End-of-summer pics and fun!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

You know what they say: time flies when you\u2019re having fun! August has been a flurry of fun and logistics, per usual. <\/p>\n

The above caprese sandwiches were from Ivy\u2019s birthday party at Afton Mountain Vineyards! I love a good \u201ccheese for dinner\u201d night \ud83d\ude42 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Ivy did not advertise a black-and-white theme, but many of us came dressed in black and white! <\/p>\n

And then a few weeks later, we went to Starry Nights at Veritas and everyone was dressed in flowy linen. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Tell me you like cheese without telling me \ud83d\ude09 <\/p>\n

Birch joined the pack of kids in a soccer game and had a BLAST! He\u2019s always been shy with new people, but our neighbors roped him in and he was so happy! Unfortunately we left early when the lightning storm sent everyone to their cars. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Speaking of our neighbors, the boys are settling into the neighborhood nicely and have finally cracked into the pack of kids who roam around every day. Mazen is one of the oldest by quite a bit, but I\u2019m glad he can still sometimes participate as \u201cking of the swings.\u201d <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

We love visiting the farm next door, and it is SO CUTE to see the donkeys jog over. They\u2019re so funny when they trot! They\u2019re always eager for a mouthful of grass. <\/p>\n

Now that all the summer travel has dwindled, all the playdates have started! B had three playdates last weekend, and he\u2019s at the perfect age where they don\u2019t need as much supervision. It\u2019s almost relaxing! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

You know the Mega Oreos with 4x the cream? I had some leftover from a movie night, and we love to crush them into vanilla ice cream. It\u2019s better than regular cookies n cream because they are crunchy \u2013 trust me!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

After we eat our Oreo dessert, we have \u201cread to self\u201d time. This is a phrase coined at school, and I love it! I\u2019ve been reading my Kindle while B uses a book light<\/a> to read his book of the week. I highly recommend a book light for kids. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

I went to the dentist for a cleaning. I don\u2019t remember the dentist being this bad<\/em> when I was growing up, but gosh it hurts so much when they dig into my gums!! <\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n

Luckily, it\u2019s over soon-ish. I still can\u2019t decide if I\u2019m going to do the other side of my mouth for gum graft #2. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

I got some of the new Grow Fragrance Autumn line candles<\/a>, and combined with our cooler mornings, I can feel fall around the corner! The new Flannel and Leaves scent is great!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Kath Eats Real Food<\/h3>\n

Oatmeal FTW! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Birch and I made a batch of these muffins,<\/a> and they were our breakfasts all week. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

I am obsessed with NOK108<\/a> matcha at the farmers market. I got the lavender milk with fresh matcha and vanilla cold foam. It was my dream post-workout drink! They also have the chicest food truck ever. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Lunches<\/h3>\n

Empty fridge = eggs + herbs!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Good ole sardine salad! I have this at least once a week, sometimes twice, sometimes with salmon or trout. Loved this flavor of Fishwife<\/a>! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

How I ate it:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Al Carbon leftovers for lunch the next day. I put the last of my queso on the tacos \u2013 so good! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Here\u2019s the dinner version. LOVE Al Carbon<\/a>, its yuca fries, and all the sauce!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Orzo salad at Veritas. I made it with pesto, spinach, peppers, lemon, herbs, and lots of pecorino. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

I made teriyaki salmon bites in the air fryer setting on my Wonder Oven<\/a> and LOVED THEM! I never want to eat salmon as a fillet again! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Sheet pan dinner with chicken, veggies, potatoes, and my favorite yogurt sauce. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

And last but not least: a Blue Apron dinner that inspired all the cauliflower, herbs, and sauces this month! <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

I hope you have a wonderful weekend! <\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
