new things

tiny toes, grabby fingers, increasingly chubbier arms and legs, a sweet little bum, and a beautiful face with the most adorable expressions. my time has been filled with these wonderful little things, and I can't get enough of my sweet baby jane.

have i told you lately...

that I love the wizarding world?
Harry Potter 6 is now in theaters (at midnight!); and I'm dreaming of a visit to The Three Broomsticks and Honeydukes.
This is just a small collection of various lovelies I'd like to try (or have tried) that make me warm and fussy inside. Maybe that's just the butterbeer.

vanilla is my friend



Here's the dessert I planned for our fourth of july celebration. Of course since our day was full of spontaneous and fun plans as well as 10+ pounds of watermelon for the two of us, I didn't get around to making it. So a small bag of crispy peaches were sitting in the refrigerator for a few days until I pulled 'em out yesterday.

happy {almost} fourth of july!



For those of you in the states, I hope your holiday is full of family, friends, tradition, and remembering those who helped us attain the freedom we have today. I really do believe Independence Day is on the top of my "favorite holidays" list.

Also please visit my zupas post for the day and make some old fashioned lemonade. I've mixed mine with some home brewed strawberry cordial, yum.

While the rest of my neighborhood (you included?) plans their big fourth of July feasts, I'm planning meals and treats that I can freeze for our upcoming d-day; translation = delivery day. That's how I'll be celebrating my freedom, looking forward with courage to a different kind of independence day.

A few things on the menu include bran muffins (I hear they're indispensable), creamy enchiladas, my friend Meesh's yummy slow cooker chicken tacos, and of course cookie dough. Yesterday I baked 3 and froze 2 loaves of this banana bread. I hope they last, hub really likes to eat big slices of it.
