Northern California hit the mid to high 80’s (low 90’s in a few places) for a few days and many of us complained. Myself included! I love being able to wear skirts, summer dresses, flip-flops and sandals. I love BBQ’s and warm evenings spent outdoors enjoying cold drinks and good conversation.

Remember class field trips? The excitement and anticipation of exploring a new place. The breaking free of the monotony of sitting behind those tiny little desks in those uncomfortable plastic chairs. The stuffy and uncomfortable bus rides. The bag lunches.

While perusing my Instagram feed, I ran across a post from a friend that read “Slutty Brownies”. The first post consisted of a picture of said brownies courtesy the blog, The Londoner. The posts that followed were the steps taken while preparing these most sinful sounding brownies. Insert eyes popping out of sockets AND jaw dropping to the floor! These … Continue reading
Although some of the weather we’ve had in Northern California over the last few weeks suggests that Spring has already sprung, it’s not officially here until March 20th!! I know this because Spring is one of my absolute favorite seasons! Fall being my second. 🙂 Sadly, many trees have already gone to blossom and an … Continue reading
Yes, you read that right. No, it’s not quite what you think. When I woke up to a Facebook post of the below picture from a friend suggesting I work my magic, stating he knew I could make these even more awesome, I couldn’t resist. Challenge accepted.
