only thirteen, but my mind is older.

whelp. it’s time for another birthday for the anna baby. and this years obsession at the time of cake making is the hamilton musical, so that was to be the theme. despite my insistence that she not wait until the last minute (week of her party) to tell me what she wanted her cake to […]

the goldie quilt. (a finished quilt!)

Posted on May 2, 2023May 7, 2023by sarah

in a previous post, i discussed my recent trend of starting quilt projects but never finishing them. as i was cruising along on the most recent quilt, i got really excited about it, and decided it was high time to break that streak and saw it through to the very end. it all started when […]

a ridiculously long post about april ’23.

Posted on May 1, 2023May 2, 2023by sarah

well. you would think a post about april would be super short, considering we spent the first week on spring break, and all of that was detailed in previous posts. but, alas, sometimes when there’s not much excitement going on, these miscellaneous monthly posts get a lot more attention. or so it is in this […]

an all natural gender reveal
(and some unicorn cupcakes)

Posted on April 21, 2023April 25, 2023by sarah

when some friends of ours found out they were having a second baby and asked if i would make the gender reveal cake, i jumped at the chance. they were just having a little zoom/facetime reveal with family, so it was just going to be a six inch cake for them and their toddler, the […]

Posted on April 9, 2023April 25, 2023by sarah

ok. so.anna and i decided to attempt one or more carrot cakes made from scratch for easter weekend. we found a recipe we liked and got started on cake number one (but made enough carrot shreds for a second round). i busted out the easter sprinkles to make it really festive and a lovely carrot […]

spring break 2023
the longest hardest hike.

Posted on April 7, 2023April 25, 2023by sarah

as has become standard over the years, we planned for one of the days of our spring break trip to be a big fat longer hike for me (and a much needed day of doing nothing for my people who enjoy doing nothing and derek who was a little under the weather for the whole […]

bryson city day.

Posted on April 7, 2023April 24, 2023by sarah

our second day of spring break was a little drizzly and overcast, so we figured it was a good day to do some shopping and exploring in bryson city. you know, making sure we were close to shelter. but before we hit the city, we drove up “the road to nowhere” to walk through the […]

spring break 2023…

Posted on April 6, 2023April 24, 2023by sarah

for spring break this year, we packed up and headed to an airbnb, in the wilderness of the nantahala national forest, on the tippy western end of north carolina. as the children grow, so does the volume of our “luggage” (reusable shopping bags, mostly), making packing the back of the subaru feel like the most […]
