    an easy (but SUPER FANCY looking) apple tart

    a few weeks ago i ordered a bag of bananas to make banana bread and they delivered a bag of apples instead. yeah– i didn’t know bags of either were really a thing but online grocery shopping is full of adventures! we are an apple family actually, but they were granny smith and we are not granny smith people, SOOOO i decided to bake something with them instead!

    and i wanted to share this because i thought it would be a perfect rosh hashanah dessert!

    what i ordered from amazon in august

    we’re going on a real actual vacation in a few weeks so i decided to get the portable version of our hatch sound machine because i love that it has an ok to wake color alert too (here’s the version we use at home)

    decided to switch arlo’s car seat now that he’s so large and has to awkwardly climb into the behemoth we’ve had since he was in an infant one. a few of my friends have this car seat and love it so we decided to go for it and decided on the gray since multiple people who have both said the gray shows way less stains than the black.

    have some of these glass spray bottles already but got a few more, they are super high quality and i love them for cleaning products.

    got another color of these ribbed biker shorts that i love, if you’re not sure on sizes i would size up– they’re pretty snug

    the cutest little muslin bathrobe for arlo!!

    i needed a new pastry brush and i love the design of this one!

    the dentist recommended arlo upgrade to a quality electric toothbrush, i searched for a long time to find a good one that looked good but ended up going with this oral-b that the dentist likes. 

    arlo’s been growing out of all his pajamas and he loves the striped ones the most, so got a few more larger sizes of these.

    10 creative ways to use your air fryer

    i can’t believe this is my first air fryer blog post for how much i truly love mine!! i use it so much more than i ever expected. a big factor in that is definitely that i left it on our counter all year versus hiding it away between uses, because it’s always there i always think to use it. so if you’re one of those people who buys small appliance after small appliance and tucks them away forever, keep it on the counter. it may be an eyesore but you’ll actually use it.

    i saw a meme that said air fryers are basically just easy bake ovens and i couldn’t agree more. maybe people who grew up with an easy bake oven love them more dearly??? 

    my air fryer tips

    don’t overfill your basket!

    whenever i do broccoli or frozen french fries for example, the less full the basket is the better it overall cooks, when it’s super full it never does as good a job.

    get the bigger size!

    if you’re worried about what size to get, i would always size up. it’s much easier to have too much space versus too little– if i’m making a big batch of vegetables or something, i have to do two batches which is such a pain. so size up not down!

    preheating helps!

    i feel like everything just cooks more evenly when i’ve preheated so i think it’s worth doing while you’re prepping your food! 

    don’t trust recipes online for cooking times

    every air fryer is different, i still use air fryer recipes and they’ll usually be fine, but i always err on the side of caution with cooking times and temperatures! 

    when to use your air fryer vs your oven

    the reason i tend to use my air fryer more than the oven is because it takes way less time to heat up! our oven is particularly slow, but it usually takes a good 10-15 minutes to preheat, whereas the air fryer is obviously super quick. therefore you’re using less gas too!

    dear molly : shop for me

    our new advice column! you tell me what specific thing you’ve been shopping for that you want me to find a “cute” version of, and i shop for you! i was overloaded with requests on instagram, so i’ll just do a few of these at a time until i put up another request box! for now, enjoy the first installment.


    dear molly, a name personalized gift for a baby?

    so many cute options! so i picked out a few. 

    a cute wood name puzzle, i like this because they’ll use for years

    a custom onesie but obv this wouldn’t get as much longterm use

    a sweet customized lovey

    cute knitted name for wall decor

    ok so they won’t wear this right away but if someone got my baby this kids bucket hat i’d be STOKED haha– so cute


    dear molly, a soundbar? (husband insists on having one)

    this sonos one! it’s not cheap but it’s also not INSANELY expensive like some of them are.


    dear molly, a slide?

    the prettiest slide ever! but expensive. 

    and this one is pretty good looking if you’re on a budget


    dear molly, a kids bathrobe?

     

    i loooove this muslin robe! 

    the cutest robes ever but they’re speeeendy

    and if you love the muslin but also want cutesy animal ears


    dear molly, a non-wooden scooter?

    this is the one we have, it’s SO cute and works super well. also comes in a few different colors.


    dear molly, a headboard?

    i love this linen upholstered headboard

    such a beautiful rattan queen sized one!

    more expensive but this one is so beautiful


    dear molly, a humidifier?

    really nice and simply designed one– some mixed reviews though

    this one also nice and simple — more expensive but reviews seem promising! 

    one last option! pretty inexpensive and pretty looking.


    dear molly, a day to day water bottle?

    i love stojo bottles because they’re collapsible when not in use!

    for the active people, this one is nice because it has a carrying strap

    this glass one with a silicone sleeve is nice and sleek (and inexpensive)


    ok so that’s all i’ll do for now, have tooooons more questions to answer! hope you enjoyed.

arlos pokémon pool party! aka the first time EVER arlos pokémon pool party! aka the first time EVER i was totally chilled on the execution. i had no energy or bandwidth to go ham like usual and honestly?? it was the most i’ve enjoyed a kids party i’ve ever thrown! 😭

arlo also helped so much, he setup the tables, he filled the goodie bags, he made the pokeball snack board! we stuck pokémon stickers on all the cups and goody bags and called it a day! 

and i outsourced the rest! insane (raspberry donut flavored) cake by @_midnight_sugar_, cookies by @fandjconfections and pokemon pizzas from @amecipizzakitchen !! 

his birthday isn’t for another week and a half but i’m soooo glad he got to spend such a sweet day with his buds before we leave 😭

no matter how much you kvetch about parenting i kn no matter how much you kvetch about parenting i know being a daddy is your favorite thing in the whole world and you’re incredibly good at it too (just like everything else) thanks for carrying everything, reaching everything up high, always driving, and always putting us first 

happy father’s day @gideonboomer ❤️ we love you!!!!!! only you could look slightly cool wearing an umbrella hat 

and happy father’s day to poppy @jmmadfis, always there for us, willing to do almost anything to make us laugh and always up for a game of uno no matter where we are
our outdoor table + benches literally fell apart our outdoor table + benches literally fell apart so it was time for a little upgrade, an expandable outdoor table and uv/weather resistant chairs from @allmodern! i got extra chairs for company and i love that i can stack them when we’re not using them. also the new outdoor dishware i’m obsessed with— non-breakable and made from plant-based material (but luckily also microwave and dishwasher safe!!)

bringing all of this on the moving truck, but before we do, it felt so sweet to do a little dinner out here for the first time in months and have a tiny send off to our LA backyard!! 

i used fresh lavender and olive branches that we grew and the birds were so loud, i’m probably going to miss it here a little. 

if you want the links for anything sent straight to your DMs, comment WANT 

https://liketk.it/5g89g

and it’s totally not too late if your backyard needs a little zshushing for summer because @allmodern has fast + free shipping tooooo!

for christmas we gifted our parents a photo sessio for christmas we gifted our parents a photo session with @theyears_studio and we finally took the photos on my moms amazing patio, this is where i lived when i first moved here. so many memories made there 😭 so so glad we did these photos before we left, and also, izzy’s pirate face? lol

highly recommend booking grandparent sessions for any occasion 🥹
some snippets of a very chaotic and sweet last few some snippets of a very chaotic and sweet last few weeks of life here! 

highlights include seeing weird al’s star,  @thenewdealrestaurant green goddess salad with salmon i will miss dearly, our super special going away party, a day at the la county fair, izzy loving her cousin so so much 😭 and just soaking up last few moments with all my people!
an oscar the grouch themed birthday party — aka an oscar the grouch themed birthday party — aka the most sustainable party theme of all time 😆 i literally just decorated with our garbage! 

had way too much fun doing the food signs like “pizza we found in the trash with marshmallow sauce”, “ranch dressing from 1972”, “lemonade with pink anchovy essence” etc lol

seriously of all the parties i’ve thrown this had to be my favorite theme because it was just so liberating and so weird — and finally i could display my cardboard collection proudly versus being ashamed of it haha
