4/12: Friday Faves

-The way Caroline sleeps in the middle splits. She’s quite an accomplished canine yogini. -Homemade bubbles. Easiest thing ever- vegetable glycerin, dish soap + water. The bubble queen is a huge fan, and it’s nice to be able to quickly make more bubble mix at home sans chemicals. [Side note: I have an awesome little…

Two in a row

Last night, we had a blast celebrating Kyle’s bday with the fam.

After our amazing dinner, we went home…

The sweet spot

We’ve spent almost all of our Friday outside- it’s the “sweet spot” in Tucson when the scorching heat takes a vacay and pleasant breeze takes over. It’s short-lived before it becomes freeeeeezing (which in AZ is about 30-40*- I’m a wuss and I know it), so I love to take advantage of this time as…

Lunch break cake

– I took tamales to work today. They were a huge hit, and while everyone was gushing about how amazing they were, I couldn’t take credit for the work. All I did to contribute was the tamale deal in the Taco Bell parking lot. Nana picked them up from our tamale man, and I picked…
