Your dahlias are GORGEOUS! Thank you for the brown sweater link- I just ordered the JCrew Factory one. And Happy 15th Birthday to Caleb!
Thanks so much! They make me happy! I am glad you liked the sweater, they have a lot of cute stuff right now!
Go to Serious Pie in Seattle. Best pizza!
Thank you!
We just got back from Seattle! Loved it.
If you’re going to Pike Place, I recommend checking out the new Waterfront Park as well, especially at sunset. Start near Old Stove Brewing and find the gorgeous new staircase down to the park—there are great views, especially of the Seattle Great Wheel lit up at night. The park has plenty of comfy seating, and you can watch the sun go down on the Sound.
Oh fun! Thank you for sharing!
The biscuits at the Hart and the Hunter are some of the best biscuits (this is coming from someone raised in the South). They are so buttery and flaky.
I love a good biscuit. I need to go!
Your flowers are beautiful. I can’t believe Calebis gonna be 15. I remember when you were pregnant and he was born . Wow time goes by so fast.
Thanks so much for your blog and a wonderful recipes and a a peak into your sweet life
Time is flying by! Thank you for being here!
Happy early birthday to Caleb. I can’t believe he will be 15. I agree that reading a book is good for you. I’m reading Welcome to Beach Town by Susan Wiggs and I can’t put it down. Your flowers are beautiful and I’m going to try the Philly Cheesesteaks.
Thanks for sharing!
Grab a piece of Fran’s chocolate. A salted caramel is always a good choice.
Hey girl- Ooh fun list! Yummy food and cute clothes- I am looking forward to start wearing my jeans, long sleeve tops, and jackets soon- when the weather cools down a lot here in Oklahoma! Can’t believe Caleb will be 15- time flies. Love the pic of the flowers- oh so pretty! Y’all have a blessed week
Thank you!
