From the Chatbooks app, I just pop in my favorite photos from the month and send to print. This would also make an incredible gift for grandparents as we start heading into the holiday season and planning our presents.

We have an open floor plan and asymmetrical stairs and here is the gate we use! We love this retractable baby gate to keep our little man safe!

If you are a human-mom or a fur-mom, how do you keep your baby safe in one area?

Our baby gate retracts up to 71 inches and is less than $50! I’m linking the exact gate we use and some similar options in the @shop.ltk app! https://liketk.it/3LtQE

Red, White & Blue Pound Cake Cupcakes


Can you believe the 4th of July is this week? I feel like we were just talking about Christmas gift guides and here we are. This 4th of July is particularly special for me. My brother is home on leave for the first time in over a year! He is in the army and I am SO happy to have him home.

To prepare for his arrival this weekend, my sister created these beautiful red, white & blue pound cake cupcakes. I can take credit for nothing in this recipe. She created the whole thing and let me follow her around to take pictures and video. She also let me lick the beaters covered in icing. So yeah…you could say I was super helpful. These really are the perfect patriotic dessert for your party this weekend though!

This is not the first time she has created something super delicious for my blog. Remember the time she created this masterpiece for Easter brunch?

These pound cake cupcakes are so light and airy for the summer holiday and pair perfectly with raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries. Who doesn’t love a patriotic-themed cupcake that doesn’t leave you begging for a nap?

I’ve created a little YouTube Recipe Video below of her time in the kitchen, but check out the ingredients for these bad boys below.

Cupcakes:

-1.5 cups Swan’s Down Cake flour
-1.5 Tsp baking power
-2/3 cup sugar
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-1 tsp almond extract
-3 eggs large
-1/4 cup milk
-1/2 cup unsalted butter

Icing:
-4 cups powered sugar
-1 cup softened butter
-3 tsps. vanilla
-1-2 tbsp milk
-Blue food coloring
-Ziploc Bag

Topping:
-Raspberries
-Strawberries
-Blueberries
-Sprigs of mint
