A Disney Birthday!

Well we had such a great day yesterday I just HAD to share...We took Piper to Disneyland for the first time for her birthday (incidentally, my husbands first time as well).

A Farmers Market Picnic…

Well this weekend was huge for me. It was the first Food to Love workshop and it was a huge hit! (photos and details to come). I also had the most amazing mother's day! We shopped as a family at our local farmers market...then we spread a blanket out in our backyard and had the most delicious picnic. Since we just moved to this area, this was our first time at this farmers market. It was so fabulous! Fresh eggs, homemade breads, goat cheese, peanuts,...READ MORE
