Whew. Busy. School is in full swing and I have too many hobbies haha. So my birthday! It was fun and I am now 36! 36 is a good number because it is evenly divisible by 3, my absolute favorite of all of the numbers, so it will be an awesome year.
I made buttermilk pancakes for breakfast…
And hooked up some grannies…
Pink and green makes me smile.
And then there was dinner. See that pasta there on the table? It is the BEST! Nobody makes noodles like my mom!
Italian Rum Cake. NOM! Have you had this? It is such an amazing combination of cake and pudding and rum and frosting and candied almonds….yum. This one was from Sweetsboro Pastry Shoppe which is the best bakery in South Jersey. Maybe even on Planet Earth.
A rare self-portrait. Yes, I leave the house without makeup. Routinely.
I love this picture of my mom, she’s so pretty! Even when she’s giving Lukester the side-eye.
(It’s amazing how that kid manages to sneak into EVERY photo.)
Fruit flowers!
