The family of brown bunnies living in a burrow in our yard. Jason almost stepped on this tiny baby bunny while we were doing yardwork the other day, and I managed to get this photo of it hiding in the periwinkle.
Watching Simone play in her wading pool. We finally moved our shed out of the middle of the backyard and into a corner, so for the first time since we bought our house two years ago, we have a functional backyard for playing and hanging out. I foresee this change simplifying my life immensely next school year.
My cozy sleepy boy. I just figured out back carries with my woven wraps and they are fantastic.
Snuggly kitties!
Our huge tomato plants, which are absolutely heaving with tomatoes.
James’s cheery little personality.
I’m also pretty excited about:
- Uninterrupted daily writing time. Jason and I have been giving each other an hour of solo writing time per day, and it’s seriously amazing how much work you can get done without kids tormenting you!
- How when James is upset, Simone says, “He just wants mommy’s milk!”
- Blackberry wine and chocolate cherry cake

Oh my gosh. I almost regret introducing your chocolate cherry cake to my family. We’ve had it three times in as many months and, honestly, the obsession needs to stop. My mom loved it when she visited and is now making it for 4th of July and my husband would have it in the house all of the time if I was willing to just make it whenever we ran out. It’s so good but I think if someone gives me a piece of it again I’m going to be be sick. SO MUCH chocolate cherry cake.
Obviously a great recipe, though.
Hahaha! It is seriously good cake…but yes, kind of addictive. I actually had the ingredients in the house over the weekend because I thought it would be good to keep them around as an “emergency dessert.” Hey, you never know, right? Well, they didn’t last hardly a day in the pantry before I broke down and just made the cake.
Kiddie pools are the best things ever. When we lived in Idaho, we spent every day in one. Your kids are so adorable.
Thanks!
These posts are so sweet. Yay for uninterrupted writing time! And kid pools. And observant toddlers.
