Belated birthday post

Well, birthday number 43 came and went without a lot of fanfare! That's okay by me! It was low key and nice. I'm grateful to have made it around the sun another year despite the year's craziness.

We got back from the east coast late the night before (more on another post!) and on the day of my bday, we had very little food in the house and no energy from the jet lag. Scott picked up some Korean takeout for dinner, we crashed into bed early at like 9pm, and then I had my fruit tart/cake for breakfast and blew out candles the next morning instead. It was really good breakfast! I may have to ask to do that again next year.

Btw, the fruit tart is from QFC! I used to get it for work since the grocery story was just downstairs in the plaza, but I haven't had it in ages. This was a very specific birthday cake request I had for Scott and it was perfect! :)

Happy new year!!

Goodness, it's already 2025! It's been a really long time since we posted! We had a very lazy new year. We flew back from LA on the evening of the 31st so spent the last remaining hours of 2024 cozying up on the couch and then fell asleep before it even hit midnight! On New Years day, we slept in, cleaned up the house and then did a quick hike the next day. All in all, a good start to the year! Nora's new blanket hoodie. Cold and muddy trails. We're not in LA anymore! We hiked the Primrose trail that follows Coal Creek.

Cousins trip: Banff!

Just 2 weeks ago I was in the beautiful town of Banff enjoying girl time with my cousins and taking in the picturesque landscape and now I'm holed up in front of my computer doing work. Oh how I wish I could go back! This was my second trip to Banff (first time was back in 2019 on a roadtrip with the family ) and I got to check out other parts of this beautiful National Park while laughing it up with these girls to celebrate Frances' big birthday.. We all met up at Calgary airport on Friday morning and after a quick lunch at Calan Noodles for hand-made beef noodle soup (yum!), we hopped in our rental car and drove the 90 minutes to Banff. I was surprised and impressed at how easy the drive was - even easier than driving to Whistler because of the wide and well maintained freeway. That first afternoon in Banff we walked around town and did some shopping before making our way to Brazen, a bistro serving "Modern Canadian" fare. What's Modern Canadian you ask? We di...

Glass art

We picked up our finished creations from the glass blowing class we took a few weeks ago and I think they came out great! Can you tell who made which one? Nora's sunset pumpkin, May's bluebird and Evie's snow pumpkin.
