We publish it in house, we have it printed locally. We tell stories about our restaurants, our associates, our guests, the things we love. We give hookups to the members of the EggHead Breakfast Club, which is our in house guest reward program.

Yeah, we’re a little different from a “regular” restaurant. We like it that way. Evidently our guests do too. Check our our newsletter archives at http://squeezein.com/newsletters.html or, pick one up at any location (Truckee, Northwest Reno and South Reno).

Having two seven month old babies has done more than change my wardrobe (that avocado smeared sweater goes great with green sweat pants!), it has given me a whole new outlook on life. My perspective of the world has changed in so many ways, it’s almost hard to see anything without my Mommy goggles on (These mommy goggles can be similiar to beer goggles, in that everything can be a little fuzzy, and you don’t always know what you’re saying).

For instance, when the babies are sleeping, the normal hustle and bustle of the neighborhood seems outrageously loud (did the mailman really have to SLAM the mailbox?), or now all of a sudden I’m THAT LADY in the grocery store fretting about the true ‘organic-ness’ of the produce (this apple doesn’t look organic, maybe someone moved it from the non organic apple pile over here just to mess with people like me).

Regardless of my new found outlook, I am relieved to know that I’m still me. Trying to picture me as ‘Mom’ a year ago, was, to say the least, rather difficult. I couldn’t imagine what my inner dialouge would sound like, or how I would be able to handle the new tremendous burden of full time responsibility. I might not look, act, feel or smell the same as I used to, but I didn’t lose the person I was BC (before children), and perhaps that has been one of the greatest gifts of motherhood so far.

Wesley and Emerie are doing fantastic. Now weighing in at over 14 pounds each, they are sweet natured little babies that are interested in everything the world has to offer them. They laugh, wiggle, play and have lengthy conversations with inanimate objects (Emerie has a meaningful relationship with a certain coffee mug, whereas Wesley harbors a deep connection with the living room lamp). When they’re on their tummies they push up and kick their legs and I start to freak out because, oh dear, they are going to be crawling in the next few weeks, and when did that happen?

Wesley loves to move and cuddle, and Emerie loves to jump and dance. They can’t wait for the new restaurant to open so that they have a new ‘home away from home’ to visit, and so that maybe Daddy won’t be coming home so stressed out anymore. (Luckily it only takes one beam from his little girl and he’s mush). We are a haggard bunch, but we are happy and we love each other and that’s the most important thing in the world, or at least it is when you go from being a couple, to being a family.

Last month, the Squeeze sponsored a Movember team to raise money for prostate cancer and awareness.  The team raised over $2,100 by growing mustaches all month long (November) and then shaving them for charity.  See a picture of part of our team featured on the Reno Metromix site: http://reno.metromix.com/bars-and-clubs/photogallery/city-of-remo-2010/2338150/content

Here’s a little blurb we’ve got out there about our giving and our philosophy:

See you again soon!
