Aren’t y’all just LOVING the fruits and vegetables available for summer? I always think each season brings my favorite fruits and vegetables, but truth is- I believe it’s summer. I have probably easily eaten 20 pounds of strawberries this summer, and just when I was feeling somewhat saddened that their season was almost gone for the year- here come the cherries, peaches, watermelon and nectarines. I have been enjoying berries and also a few cherries, but this time tomorrow they should be taking center stage in my birthday cake. I’m not going to spill the beans fully, but I do hear that chocolate and cherries are part of the fun.
I am going to ‘try’ (key word there) to only taste this cake, as I’ve been baking too many luscious goodies for this celebration month, and I know I’m going to be needing to kick up the exercise a HUGE notch. Thank goodness Marcel and I are going to be starting Whole 30 soon, because I can tell my body is in need of a cleansing and I need to cut the sugar.
That will definitely be part of the gift to myself towards the end of this upcoming week- cutting out the sugar. I’ve had more than my share lately, and it is time to find a balance without it.
Our home projects are also about to get kicked up a notch or three- plus I hear some traveling is in the hat to happen sometime in August- maybe even September.
I’m sure I’ll be filling y’all in on all that as it all unfolds. In the meantime- the bath awaits.
