From Mini Cakes to Missing Bikes

My days seem to fly by, and they keep me on my toes. There’s always a bit of everything going on at once—ordinary moments, sweet treats, savory meals, learning, laughter, and the occasional unexpected twist. Between baking a mini cake, chowing down on peach cookies, making a fancy breakfast, and tackling grocery store runs, we also had an unexpected moment: Sadie’s beloved bike disappeared. Our days lately have been full of good food, family time, and a touch of sadness over the missing bike!
