Do you listen to Joy the Baker and Tracy from Shutterbean’s podcast on Homefries? You probably should. It’s hilarious. I love listening to Joy and Tracy, as well as Simple Mom while I’m working. Such entertainment!
Recently Joy and Tracy handed out a little homework to their listeners…blog about 5 of your favorite things. So, here they are! These are five of the things I’m digging right now.
My parents gave us this vase for our wedding. I think it’s just the most beautiful thing ever. It reminds be of our Dogtown neighborhood and Irish heritage, family, and spring. Right now it’s on our dining room table filled with roses from our garden and theirs.
I love these boys. They drive me crazy, but they are still my best snuggle-buddies. Yes, they have claimed the guest bedroom for themselves and are currently holding the bed hostage.
I can’t get enough! I’ve made Lemon, Chocolate with Mint Icing, and Red Wine Dark Chocolate with Blackberry filling. What should my next flavor be? I’m thinking maybe caramel….
I love where we live and I love the people we live here with. I’m thrilled that summertime is almost here and our patio will once again be filled with friends and neighbors and grilled chicken.
There are blueberries and chard and kale and carrots and…..well, there’s an entire summer’s worth of meals growing in our backyard and I love it.
Check out some of my favorite products this spring.
