Little Miss

Oh My Goodness.

I am in love with these...

Here's what others
have to say about them...

"With the perennial popularity of classic writers like
Charlotte Bronte and Lewis Carroll,
Baby Lit is a fashionable way to introduce your toddler
to the world of classic literature.
With clever, simple text by Jennifer Adams,
paired with stylish design and illustrations by
Sugar's Alison Oliver,
Little Miss Bronte and Little Master Carroll
are a must for every savvy parent's nursery library."

Bubblegum Pink

Can I just take a moment

to say how much I am loving this

Bubblegum Pink color!

 

This outfit is amazing!

And this lipstick...

dare I say even more amazing!

And guess what!

This lipstick is by Maybelline!

It's called Fuchsia Fever

and if you live anywhere near me,

you better get to Target before I do,

because I might just

buy the whole lot of it. ;)

Raspberry Swirl Tart

Here is a lovely recipe

to get your Monday morning

off to a good start!

Raspberry Swirl Tart 

Crust:

1 egg yolk

2 tbsp cold water

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 1/4 cups flour

1/3 cup sugar

1/4 tsp kosher salt

8 tbsp butter, cut into small cubes

Filling:

2/3 cups cream cheese

1/2 cup sour cream

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 tsp vanilla extract

lemon zest to taste

Raspberry Swirl:

1/2 cup raspberries

1/2 cup sugar

1. To make the crust, whisk the egg, water, and vanilla in a small bowl and set aside. Then in an electric mixer, beat flour, sugar, salt and butter together until a coarse meal is formed. Add the egg mixture and beat until it just comes together. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and set in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

2. For the filling: Beat all the filling ingredients together in an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

3. For the Raspberry: In a small sauce pan, over medium-low heat, bring raspberries and sugar to a boil and simmer until it thickens slightly. The let cool. 

4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Once crust has set for 30 minutes, take out of fridge and roll (on a lightly floured surface) about a 1/8 inch thick. Place in tart pan and cove with foil. Bake 5 minutes, then remove the foil and bake another 15 minutes.

5. Once completely cooled, pour the filling into your tart shell. Add 5 or 6 dollops of the raspberry to the filling mix and swirl in with a tooth pick. 

6. Cool again for another hour, then serve! 

Sunday Morning Breakfast

I love that I can have

Huckleberry Pancakes in March.

Some may call it a waste of time,

others may call it "fruit-hoarding",

but to me and my friend Mary, we simply call it

"stocking up for the winter months".

 

Because to us, the summer is fruit picking time!

So whether we are climbing up a mountain

and venturing into 'Bear Territory"

to gather Huckleberries...

Tromping through an abandoned apple field

with ladders and baskets in hand...

 

Or praying that the cherries we picked

from one of the many Cherry Orchards here

don't have worms in them...

Summer-time is "fruit-hoarding" time

and in the winter, it's glorious!

Anthro Outfit

I saw this dress the other day
on Anthropologie
and just fell in love.

It inspired me to put together
a little summer vacation outfit for you.


I would pair this dress
with these shoes...

Add this bag...

And stack these lovely bracelets
on my writs to top it off...

Doesn't it just make you want to take
a vacation to some place warm!
