so, some pals and i are throwing a baby shower for our other pal jessica. somehow, bridgette and i got the bright idea to try to make cake pops for the event. they’re like truffles on a stick. only the inside of the truffle is mashed up cake and frosting and the outside looks prettier […]

o.u.t.s.i.d.e.
it’s 73 degrees right now. it’s been the most beautiful of days, and we took full advantage. we started our day with a visit from our small friend maya, daughter of heather, who went up to the hospital for the day to spend time with her mom. isaac and maya played for a bit, while […]
