springtime sweets

as if this holiday needed more sugar...
but i couldn't pass up the opportunity 
to bake for the littles of our life- 
much to their delight!

happy list

a collection
of the little things that have made my week
...

freshly baked cookies

for a hungry husband
(a kitchen sink version of granola-dark chocolate this week... YUM)


soft, sweet, silky knits

a time for cake

 photo cakes3_zps4dcdbd1d.jpg

a quiet moment
on the first day of spring
calls for cake

...

and because
winter citrus
is my favorite thing 
about this much-too-long season

i bid adieu 
to the cold and grey
with the bright, juicy 
grapefruit

perfectly acceptable
as breakfast
right?

welcome, spring.
