I started my day yesterday with this status update:

Because I’m clever that way and I was really excited about my baby shower. And for good reason, the shower ended up being super fun and cute. I am one lucky lady because thirteen [...]

A Showering of Joy
It’s All About the Walnut
This year belly dance camp delivered in a big way. It was hotter than a coon skin cap in the jungle. I sweat non-stop, even when I was standing still. The workshops were intense and required using muscles I’ve never met. I was a in a constant state of pain. And there were bugs that [...]

Cool Off with a Hot Summer Dish
