There are so many delicious varieties of apples. Honeycrisp are my all-time favorite, but I love trying different varieties, too. Last year, we went to a local apple orchard, […]

The Crowned Goat Kentucky Derby

Life Lately It’s finally been nice enough around here to do a little gardening. I got my plant babies all tucked into our raised bed garden, and am so looking forward to nurturing them until it’s time to start gathering some homegrown produce. Is there anything better than summer suppers made with produce and herbs you grew yourself? Gardening season is my favorite time of year! My favorite baby did some planting this week, too. Maybe she will love gardening […]

Life Lately Our favorite baby is learning so many new things. This week’s fun development; waving at people. I laughed out loud when my daughter sent me these pictures while they were waiting for Evie’s therapy appointment. She captioned them like this: “Waving at a random lady.” “Wondering why the random lady didn’t wave back.” 😂 She’s really working on her wave. Waving in Target… Double-handed wave on her way into Old Navy. This one made me giggle– she looks […]
