Life Lately Includes


Social distancing ice cream treat with big sister Madison and Nicolas...


Rare outings with a new favorite accessory...

And the return of summer fruit salads...

With the best-kept secret ever! I am not a fan of canned fruit, but I do like to use a drained can as a base for our fruit salads. I usually use mandarin oranges, but recently discovered mangos! Delicious! I add a drained can of these to a bowl and then throw in whatever fresh fruit I have on hand. On this day it was blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries. 

Have a lovely weekend, my friends.
Stay safe and cozy.
Thanks for visiting!

  15. Your mask is cute but would you really go so far as to say it's a new "favorite"??? hahaha! I will have to check into that diced mango. It looks like it would be a good addition to our normal fruit!
