We’re back after a busy weekend that started at my sister and brother-in-law’s new house, helping them unpack, and ended at the farm for Easter. I’m not going to lie. We got home at 5 pm tonight and I was in my pajamas in something like 15 minutes. It definitely…
My ideal morning? I just may have had it. (Okay, not counting if I was on the beach in Hawaii or enjoying pain au chocolat in Paris or a pint of Harp in Ireland.) Simple pleasures. And a free morning to enjoy them. That’s all it takes. A mint condition…
It feels soooo good to be back to blogging this week. (Can you tell? I’ve written three posts, three days in a row!) With Easter coming up this weekend and some turkey breakfast sausage taking up space in my freezer, I figure this #TurkeyTuesday is the perfect time to showcase a…
