Lately, my days have been filled with…

1. Chatting (or I guess Listening):

B has been talking up a storm and we are enjoying every minute of it. Things like, “Momma/Dada, sun down, moon up?” Or when we are driving and I tell him, “Okay we are close. The park is only a little bit away.” He will reply, “Momma, park closed?” He also loves to point out who people are in pictures, especially his Grandma Jeanne (Gamma Jeeeeeeen).

2. Baking and wanting to cook more:

I just made these little cupcakes for a work baby shower. They were a hit! Simple, white cake with white frosting. I also got an email that had Mama DePandi’s Bucatini Pomodoro recipe inside and can’t wait to try it! Doesn’t it look good?

3. Shopping:

I’ve been eye-balling a side cross necklace for awhile but some of these other pieces from Bip and Bop are pretty cute. Loving the skinniness of the bangles.

4. Partying:

It was cousin Tommy’s 3rd Birthday last weekend and we had SO much fun–water balloons, B’s first attempt at a pinata, pizza, fake tattoos that B wanted then wanted to scrub away once they were on, lounging in the pool, and cake pops. Pictures in a few days. Still need to download.

5. Planning:

Summer may be over but we still have one more vacation planned near the end of September with my family. Then M’s out of town… umm Tahoe and then Hawaii for work… SO tough! :) Birthdays. Changes. Tons of fun, new things to blog about!

Hope all is well with you,
