Long time no post, eh? I can assure you that I am still alive and well. Life, as it seems, can get pretty busy; and there’s also the realization that sometimes, I just need to chill and do absolutely nothing. To other bloggers: you understand that the act of blogging is (rather unknowingly at first), a serious dedication. Taking time away from the site has always been hard, and even more difficult given the gentle urging to produce when there is a lull in your content. But quiet days, easy nights and weeks of an inbox with hardly anything in it is just what I needed.
Now…enough of the sappy crap! I need to catch you up on life 
I saw this fab recipe on Pinterest last year and planned on making it in the fall – turns out it was perfect for Easter, so I attempted to make them one night. They were supposed to look like this:
But they turned out like this:
I had a good laugh and should probably submit the whole story to PinterestFail.com. At least they were super easy (no measuring involved) and downright DELICIOUS!
In early March, we received a tiny new member of the family!
Madison is a rescue dog originally taken in by a friend of ours, and has since made her way permanently to our home. She’s a 9-year old terrier mix with a lot of puppy-spunk and is a total blast to have around. We take her down to the harbor and on some seriously long walks (I even cancelled my gym membership!) and the adjustment to having a four-legged friend has been thankfully very easy. We just looooove herrrrr (and she kicks our butt into shape)!
The weather here has been absolutely beautiful (minus the whole rainy/misty thing in the morning) and we finally had our first official beach day of the spring this weekend. My goal for this summer is to head down to the sand as often as I can (’cause last year was pretty disappointing seeing how close we are to the coast)!
So that’s it for now, thanks for reading friends. I promise to be back sooner than three weeks 
Happy Spring!
