Mini Handpicked today
See you next week!
Hello my dears! My kids are on spring break this week so we’ve been doing a lot of laying around, playing Tenzi, and drinking milkshakes. And I’m still enjoying the high of our backyard Easter dinner with my parents, sisters, and their families. Mom brought Deb’s brown butter rice crispy treats, Sarah made her famous pecan pie, and Emily brought this spectacular carrot cake. A marvelous day! I barely took any photos!
