That looks and sounds delicious! I haven't not allowed my kids sugar. I think it is a matter of balance and teaching nutrition and WHY we don't eat sugar all the time. I let me kids have the "sugary" cereals because I think it is better than Cheerios with 3 tablespoons of sugar on them... as that is what happened at the house I grew up in. Happy Birthday to your daughter! That is such a fun age as they learn new things!

Now you have me wanting pie! I'd never heard of that type of plum before. I'll have to go look up information on it. Beautiful pictures!

I love the bold colors against the white. It really makes them pop. The minimalist style makes everything noticeable so things don't look cluttered and get lost. I love my college town of SLO!

I love overhead lighting at night. When I was little, it was standard in a home, then somewhere home builders thought it a good idea to leave out the lights! Ugh! Now you can't even find swag type equipment at the home diy store. I love natural light in the day. Have you tried the OttLites for everyday use?

I have the KitchenAid handheld mixer... I'm sure it is just the same... love it! Lumpy pudding is a thing of the past!

I have that thermometer and the battery got used up before I could use it twice. My new kitchen timer is driving me nuts. Your choice is similar to an older one I have that works pretty good. I like that it doesn't have the flat buttons.
