sweet spots.
have you ever asked yourself,
“will today be the day I combine my love of baking with my love of arts and crafts?”
if this is the day, here’s what can help
the brand new disco, glitter, chocolate chips
this hit all the sweet spots for me
a holy trinity of sins.

say my name.
i recently made a new recipe
and
finally used my worcestershire sauce!
like finding an old friend
nothing had really changed
still can’t pronounce your name
still in that familiar bottle
how nice to bump into you
so long until i see you again

dinos in snow.
today we took the dinos
out of their safety zone and into the snow
they went
in the playhouse
down the slide
in the hollow log
in the sandbox
climbed up
jumped down
made footprints and snow angels
roamed on dinosaur island
played tag
went to a party
loved the snow
they all had a such a good time and were worn out.
“my son’s always showing me pictures of dinosaurs and asking me what their names are.
i don’t know, so i make stuff up:
that, son is a thesaurus.”

this crisp winter air is full of it.”
