Our Sweet Baby Boy is Here!

September 6, 2020 · In: Featured, Lifestyle

In case you didn’t see my Instagram announcement, our sweet baby boy is here and he’s totally stolen our hearts! I’m so thrilled to be a mama and just consumed with learning the ropes of caring for a newborn these days. Just wanted to post a quick message to let you know I will be on a little maternity leave, and while I am I won’t be checking the blog comments quite as often. That said, if you do have questions about my recipes or tutorials feel free to sift through previous comments, use Google, or check out my YouTube channel – between those three resources you should have the answer you’re looking for. If you find a new solution or tip, feel free to return and leave a comment for others to see!

I do have a few more Cake Basics posts in the works, so I will be sharing those as soon as I get this new rhythm of motherhood down a little more! In the meantime, just look at this precious face I get to stare at all day long:

    I’m so happy for you! He’s just precious. Enjoy every second; but I don’t have to tell you that. 🙂 My baby boy just turned 22 and has a beard! How’d that happen. <3
