Sister Day

I mentioned in my last post that my sister brought her kids and dog over for the day on Wednesday and promised to blog about it. We had such a fun time! Hannah and I signed Sadie and Caroline up for a plant and paint event at a local park, so the girls painted a flower pot and planted a succulent and got to take it home! I will be cherishing that little pot as long as it lasts at our zoo of a house 😜

The day was full on chaos with three kids under age three and two dogs, but the best kind of chaos. I know I say it all the time, but I love doing life with my sister and I feel so blessed that we are in the same stage of being a wife and raising kids (and dogs) at the same time. My favorite moments of the day were the ones where the kids were all content and Hannah and I could just talk about everything and nothing. I so needed that day with her and I can’t wait to hang out again soon!

Shark Week Bread, S’mores, and Husky Fun

It’s Shark Week, aka one of the best weeks of the year! I don’t know what it is about Shark Week, but I just love it. I’m totally terrified of swimming in the ocean, and even more so after learning about sharks 😂

I had to celebrate all things sharks with bread, obviously. I made a challah shark and filled it with a buttery-cinnamon filling.
