We've had a lot of snow this past week.


Everyone is loving it...


...almost everyone.

Scratch Weekend...



I made a lot of food from scratch this weekend.


Hand pressed tortillas for our romantic fish tacos.


And for my 15 year old nephew...


homemade marshmallows.
I love that he still asks for these each year.

Brazil Could Have Been Better...


Love is in the air this week. 


 I'm just thrilled I was able have a shower this past Sunday.  
(I had a varicose vein removed from the top to the bottom of my leg last week)


Though, I don't know what was more upsetting upon removing the bandages... 


...the fact that they wrote XLG on my thigh (universal code for extra large) - or that they 
only gave me half a brazillian.

Bubbles 101...


There are really only two bubble lessons, outside of the dip and blow rule.


Lesson one...don't put your lips on the wand.


This is an important one to remember.


Lesson two...beware the bubble shark.
He is insane.


I've been couch bound all week after some nasty vein surgery.
These meyer lemon bars made me smile.


Until they were gone.
