Hope everyone is enjoying their Fourth of July… Fireworks, desserts, family and friends. I cannot wait to see Tommy’s face tonight since he is older now and can truly enjoy this holiday.

We had a very special holiday season. One morning in between baseball games, Tommy and I stopped for coffee & juice at a nearby mall.

Add in chocolate chips or chopped nuts of your choice… Baking feels more enjoyable in the fall, with the weather finally on the cool side.

Summer has been fun and I cannot believe it is coming to an end… we have played on the beach, vacationed along the coast and celebrated on an island (Coronado island, San Diego). Baseball and soccer have continued, becoming more competitive with every season. Tommy rode his first ride at an amusement park! My niece … Continue reading
I’ve been thinking for a while about creating a “coffee cart” space. I love the notion of having a special place for all things coffee (and tea!). The cart itself is a wooden 3 drawer chest from Ikea, painted and distressed. Maybe replacing the knobs with glass ones, or removing the bottom two drawers and making … Continue reading
