My Dearest Ethan,
Not a day that goes by when I don’t think about you. You were originally scheduled to arrive in April 2012 but you made your appearance on December 13, 2011. It was the most wonderful two hours of my life and I will forever cherish your birthday.
I often wonder what type of toddler you would be right now. Would you be like your little brother who is
I actually discovered this recipe by accident. A while back, I only had one egg but I wanted to make chocolate chip cookies. Can I tell you how much I love Google? Anyway, I discovered there are a ton of recipes for one-egg chocolate cookies! But I found a personal favorite.

Over the weekend, Bear and I went on a day trip to Palm Springs to see the Festival of Lights parade. It was Bear's first time seeing it and he loved it!

Great news! I finally own a KitchenAid mixer! I
