Cocktail: Blackberry Bramble

I'm a big fan of gin.. and blackberries... and Lost Forty's Blackberry Bramble beer. So rewind to a couple weeks ago when I was flipping through our handy BAR BOOK to find a new recipe. I saw one in the gin section called "Bramble." Which caught my eye.

Happy 1st Birthday, Emmy!!

Happy FIRST birthday to our sweet Emily!! Pre-COVID, I planned to have Emily a sunshine themed 1st Birthday (it seemed very fitting!) but had to table that idea until the world gets back to normal again. We did not miss the opportunity to celebrate our favorite one year old. We celebrated at home with lots of fun and funfetti!

My Birthday at the Lake

We took a quick trip to the lake for my birthday back in May. We usually always plan to go to Lake DeGray for my birthday but is tends to always rain!

Toddler Egg Free Banana Muffins

We found out right before Emily's 1st birthday that she has an egg allergy. Actually after some testing, egg and peanut. Eek! We go for more testing in September and I'm so anxious to find out more. Until then, we're obviously avoiding all egg and nut. 

As she's eating more and more "real" food, I'm having to find alternatives when baking. A few weeks back, I had some very, very ripe bananas and hated to throw them out. I know a lot of people sub bananas for egg so I search for a recipe.

Emily - 12 Months

Emily is ONE!! I can't believe her first year has flown by so fast, yet so slow, yet so stinkin fast. This baby girl is so precious and sweet. And so happy. I was flipping back through pictures of her first year and was so amazed at how happy she was in almost all of them! She has been a joy and SO fun to watch grow.

Trader Joe's Wonton Soup + Dumplings

I am so happy I found this recipe. SO HAPPY. It's so delicious and so quick to make. I found it minutes before I made a Trader Joe's run a couple months ago, grabbed all the goods, and threw this together for a quick lunch. It was flavorful, filling, and really excellent.
