We are finding “the new normal”. Natalie is 4 months old, everyone sleeps through the night 95% of the time, and most weeks have some sort of routine. Andrew and I are loving the past few weeks, mainly because we haven’t been here! We spent last weekend in Asheville celebrating my good friend’s wedding.… Continue reading Sweet Summertime.
Wanna know what to do on a rainy Thursday during strawberry season? I’mma tell you… Make the most delicious strawberry jam. I hit the jackpot when it comes to in-laws.
