Miscellaneous stuff keeping me busy in addition to the above ~

• made deviled eggs using this tip that I posted back in '16 and once again, perfect success even with a brand new carton of eggs. Seriously, all 12 eggs peeled flawlessly - yay!
• got to hang out with Brooke, she made a few posts for me that I'll be sharing in the near future (hint: she also enjoyed the Legos!). 
• My sis went out of town so missed out on her "my sis is hungry" dinner and review - good news tho, I have a "my niece is hungry" review on the blog this week from Macey.
• read "Fifty Things That Aren't My Fault" by Cathy Guisewite ⭐️⭐️ I got tired of reading it, it's cute and light but couldn't stay with it. If I had 1/2 star emoji then I'd give it 2 1/2. Also finished "Valley of Horses" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Now waiting for #3 in the Clan of the Cavebear series from the library.

Hope you had a great week - any plans for the 4th? Man it's coming up fast! I like celebrating Independence day - in addition to the obvious reason we have to celebrate (hello, let freedom ring!) I love flags, fireworks, sparklers (although not gonna lie, sparklers freak me out a tiny bit having shooting sparks landing on everything!), the cookouts and berry desserts, hanging with friends and family 🇱🇷

Check back this week to see some more fun projects, recipes, and whatever else I can think of to make! 

Sincerely ~
